Rocky Raccoon 50 Mile Run

Well I have finished my second run of 50 miles or greater! Man, what an experience. I went into this race COMPLETELY unprepared. On the upside I came out a stronger runner with more ultra experience under my belt!

I completed my race report last night if you'd like to check it out. Just CLICK HERE and that will take you straight there!

The recovery went great. I raced about 9 days ago and got in a nice 8 miler today around a 7:20 pace. I'm looking forward to actually training for my next 50 miler which will be in late April, and is supposed to be one of the hardest 50 milers in the country!! On top of that I'm doing another 50 in May that's supposed to be just as hard if not harder!!

My 2010 race schedule is really starting to take shape. I keep updating little bits at a time, but it's looking pretty definite so far. The only things I see changing are the possibility of adding a few races, and taking away the pacing 50 at the Tahoe Rim 100. (Possibility my friend won't be racing)

I'm thinking of registering for the Ardmore Marathon (point to point starting at Turner Falls). I'm doing something the day before but figure I could make the drive up there on race morning and pick up my packet then! It looks interesting and I bet it will be fairly small. We'll see how my schedule unfolds and hopefully I'll be able to make it up there for a fun 26 :)

Hope everyones doing well and staying warm!!!
