A nice Aprils Fools Day Run. Another nice Florida day. Warm, sunny and breezy. Just right for an enjoyable run.

Run 2007/03/31

Time is running out and I am not sure at this point, less than a week away now. I am real scared and anxious at this point but also looking forward to getting into it. There is a lot to worry about, there is a lot of “new” at this point. I have to hope that my energy levels with food and hydration go well. It will be a challenge to make sure that I eat and drink enough without getting to much and getting sick. I am going to take it easy and distract myself with the “live blogging” during the day, and most important enjoy the fact that I have a great challenge ahead of me. Not many people can say that they have attempted a 50 miler, and I would guess less can say that they have finished a 50 miler. I want to be able to say that I finished.

I have ran a Ultra before but that was a 50k trail run, so a 50 mile trail run is that one step higher that I need (or want) to achieve. Maybe after this a 100 miler, who knows. Right now I just need to concentrate on this and not think to far ahead.

Don’t forget if you want to follow my progress on April 7th check my older post for the details, and feel free to email me if you have any questions. Live Blogging my 50 Mile Trail Run.
