This event was a lot of fun.  For this year it was named the Russell B. Cheney 50-k, because Russell turned 65 in August.  Russell is an LA Legger that I have known since December 2003.  And when I heard it was named for him, I signed up.   Unlike a few finishes, there is a picture of me crossing the finishing line.  See above Photo.   The guy in the middle is Russell.  It was his 219th marathon or ultra finish.   The guy on the left is Larry Macon, a 60-year attorney from Texas .  It was Larry 281st marathon or ultra.  It was my 71st marathon or ultra finish. 

Click on Race Report to read the Russell B. Cheney 50-K Race Report.  Click on the picture links to see the pictures.  Most of the story is told in notes associated with the pictures.  The "Report Section" is mostly a series of e-mail messages to and from John Harper, the event organizer.
