The hay is in the barn... Big Butts 50K is tomorrow~


The hay is in the barn and I’m finished with my training for the BIG BUTTS 50K!   I’ve done all the work, lost 15 lbs and I’m ready.  I’ve even run 28 of the 31 miles on the BIG BUTTS course.

My main concern now is not my body, but in my head.  I’ll need to run a smart race and not get caught up in the “stampeding crowd.”  By that I mean I should run the way I’ve trained and not let any competitor get inside my head and I choose to run faster. 

I’ve trained at around a 13:00/mile pace and that’s where I want to keep it!  If everything goes according to plan, I should finish in at 6 ½ hours or, with an 8:00 a.m. start time, around 2:30 p.m.

Today is a day of rest and preparation.

I think I’m ready.


Gotta run,
