| So, today is the last day to register for my first 50 miler before the price jumps another 25 bucks. The reason why I'm holding off is because of the road trip I recently went on where I was only able to squeeze in one solid 90 mile week for about a month. I'm now on week number 3 of 90's(okay, I lied- one 90, one 75, this one will be 90-95 by tomorrow afternoon) and I'm feeling pretty good, fast, and strong. But I'm still not so sure I'm 50 miler strong. I'd like to drop another 2 pounds or so before too- I think my ideal distance racing shape will be around 145(I'm 150ish right now, depending on how hydrated I am). I've been really thirsty lately too- it's hard to drink enough. I think the only real kinks I have to work out in my training are hydration and gu timing. Maybe this wouldn't be so much of a problem if the sun and humidity weren't so strong here in Florida, but nevertheless, they are. Another weird thing that's been on my mind is come race day, do I wear trail runners(which I don't have yet), road trainers, or my racing flats? I think I'm ready- just a little nervous. I'm funny like that- even after all the races I've done, I can still make myself nervous about a simple 5k that is still 2 weeks out. When I think about the 50m, I almost wanna throw up! I think I'm gonna enter....
I think after I get this under belt it'll be back to a regular marathon schedule and maybe that 2:45 I really, really, want. |
