I did it. I registered for my first Ultra...or it may be an ultra... It is Operation Jack Northwest Run. Six hours on a 0.95 mile loop. The great part is the park is a couple of miles from my house and I run there often. The thing is it is December 26th, yes, a mere 3 1/2 weeks away... And, uh, yeah, my longest run this year is 16 miles and that was last spring...I think I may be crazy... Fortunately, I have added a lot of cross training the last couple of months. So even though my mileage is in the low 30s, I am in pretty good shape for endurance.
An ultra is on my bucket list. I was thinking in a year or two, but this one will work. My A goal is to hit 50k. That is a pretty aggressive goal since I haven't been training, but I think it is doable. Other than that I will shoot for a marathon and a C goal of moving the entire 6 hours.
Excuse me, I need to go work out...NOW!
