CRAZY!!!
I don't know if it's the weeks that are crazy or me....
--Tomorrow night is the big North - South matchup for track. Not that it's much of a meet this year but it's a big for the kids.
--Wednesday is bowling for Junior Acheivment. It's a huge fundraiser for an organization that plays an important role in promoting education.
--Thursday is an awards banquet...very exciting...I'm not... but there are people who are excited. I have to be there for work.
--Friday is Booster Seat give away. THAAR (the same group having the awards banquet) has a yearly give away of a bout 250 boosters seats to families that can't afford them. Considering the childrens safety and the current laws this is an event I want to support.
I am now planning to run the North Country Trail run 50 milers on Sept 20th. It will be my first 50 miler. It's been my goal to run a 50 miler... It's been my goal to run a 50 miler... I'm sorry but it just never soundsd right when I say it. It's sounds cool in my head but never when I say it or write it. I've done several ultra's ranging from 30 to 40 miles but this would be my longest race ever. Thus the question am I crazy or is the week crazy???

LOL....It's been my goal never sounds cool.
Now running and finishing a 50 miler, thats waaaaaay cool. (Says the girl who was ok with running 2.3 miles today. Meh!
You're crazy for running as fast as you do! Given that, everything else you do running-wise just makes sense. :)
The first is around mile 1 (and 26) which is a moderately steep hill about half a mile long, seemingly going upwards forever because most of it runs in a straight line.
The second is a switchback at mile 10 (and 35) that's steep but still runnable, although I walked it. The backside of this hill is a nice, long downhill that's not very steep and very refreshing to run.
You'll love this race - Striders does a great job and the scenery is wonderful. If you have time to kill, I wrote up a long 16-part race report - you might enjoy some of the details, like a listing of all the aid stations.
Although my main goal is a 100K this August, I'm hoping that I'll be able to run the Striders NCT run again this year. 50 miles sure makes a marathon seem short!
