Let's deviate big time from the norm on this blog. Your feedback on a dilemma I'm facing would be very helpful. In 3 weeks I will face my fourth 32-mile ultramarathon. This weekend in Roanoke there's a race that might be a good training run for my ultra. The event is known as "America's Toughest Race." Elevation gain and loss totals around 4,000 feet. You've got the choice of running either the full marathon or the half. I've done the half there twice. It's brutal. In addition, the weather in southern Virginia this coming Saturday is predicted to be in the mid-90s. So, if I did participate in this weekend's event, I would not want to bite off more than I could chew and would probably limit myself to the half.
What do you think?
Here, by the way, are today's steps.
I am really pushing it to the wire, folks. Wish me well.
