Guess What I Just Did?
I jumped. I signed up for my first 100k! And its in 3 fucking weeks! Holy crap! Talk about a total crack of the whip decision, but I did it. I signed up. I don't know if I can do 60 miles but I think I'd like to try.
I had the Born To Run Ultra Marathon in the back of my head... WAY back in my head because it was coming up so quickly. As it turns out its the perfect race to do my first 100k with three twenty mile loops and camping. Running and camping. Two of my favorite things. So I just jumped. I'm in. We'll see how this turns out. Lately I've been having some slight hamstring/hip issues (which I blame completely on the lack of ass massage aid stations at my last 50k) so we'll see how this all works out.
I can't believe I'm signed up. I'm totally stoked! Now I had better go find my headlamp, cuz I might be a while. Ha!

Good luck with that. I would be frightened to death, but you've put a lot more work into it, and you're like a 1/3rd my size. So I think you'll be okay, other than the inevitable exhaustion.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! That is awesome... can't wait to hear about it. I know you'll rock it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Totally AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, good luck! I have yet to sign up for even a half-marathon yet....
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Wish I could come out and pace you. We'll be traveling then :( You are going to rock it. When you're feeling low just picture me falling in my superhero costume :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could come out and pace me as well, Shelly! I will totally use your Superhero fall to pick me up. That's in my rolodex of laughable moments. That and your water jug. Ha! You know... there are just so many moments to draw on! Looking forward to seeing you guys when you are back out here for crewing TRT.
DeleteGreat decision, Krista! I'll see you at the finish line after I complete my... 10 miles. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see you again, Caity! Looking forward to it! It'll be nice to see some familiar faces in the crossroads as I'm running through (or crawling as it may be) Ha!
