37 to 50, got to know the score

37 days until a 50 mile run. My plans are to caravan with a group of TATURS http://www.tatur.org/ to the Sunmart Texas Trail Endurance Run December 8th. A couple of the crazies will also be running the Whiterock Marathon in Dallas on the 9th. I plan to cheer them on from a prone position of leisure.

50 miles seems like a big step up from50k or 31 miles, but I just assume it is a little more suffering over an extended period of time. The Sunmart course is relatively flat and should be a good first 50 miler.

The last couple of months have weighed heavily on my training...life happens, I am excited to have a date out there, a goal to focus on, a running to something instead of running away from something which seems to be what I have been doing. Funny, same time on the road and trails and training and running for something is energizing where running from something just drains me. Ready to giddy-up and go.
Verse of the day that spoke to my heart.

Zephaniah 3:17

17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Missed you at Sunmart this year. :( Next time, please please hook up with us. My hybrid uses next to no gas, and when we all split the gas and room expenses, it makes for a cheap trip, plus the more that go, the more fun we have!

Om a side note, wathch for details on the "6 hour long snake run" coming later this month!
