I spent my Sunday night running with 40,000 of my closest running compadres. I was reminded once again of how commercialized marathon running has become. But all in all I had an unforgetable evening and was even able to beat my best marathon time by 8 minutes. Though after I finished I my first thought was " Wow I would have to run that about three more times to reach 100 miles. "
This was my last registered race before the 100 mile run. I had never seen Vegas before, well now I have, no need to go back. This weekend I am going to try for a 20 miler Saturday and a 20 miler Sunday am and 9 miles Sunday pm. Next weekens I will add another 9 miler Saturday afternoon.Then I will have one more true long run weekend before I start to taper for the run.
I have been thinking about what I should have around in terms of fluids and food while I am running. I have been using what little running experience I have to compose a detailed list of possibilities. In the coming weeks I will begin to get everything together. In January, it will have been two years since I ran my first marathon and about two and a half years since I started running. I am excited to continue pushing my limits (luck?) with the 100 miler.
