Today I'm going to work on my running plan (hydration/food/meds) and goals for the race. Are any of you interested in what they are? If so, I will post them when done, if requested. Also, if you have any questions about Addison's and slow running, email me or put a question in the comments. I will get back to you or post it here.
I'm currently running on the treadmill, on packed snowmobile trails and slick, icy roads. Right now we've got a blizzard happening. The race will be in the amazing Western Colorado desert on slick rock, sand and TRAILS (my favorite)!! I'm concerned that the different conditions will pose a problems with balance.
Today's conditions in Victor, Idaho
Fruita, Colorado where the race will take place. A view of the trail, from the trail.
A typical big drop on the trail
I will be taking pictures while I'm running this year because I got a great camera for Christmas!!
I feel pretty good overall. Lethargic when the weather is blizzard conditions and I have to run on the treadmill. When I do get outside, I feel pretty good overall. With the 50, I have the option of quitting at the 25 mile mark or the 31 mile mark. Colleen encouraged me to wait until the 31 to decide. That's part of my plan now. Thanks Colleen!
Will you do 50 of something with me??? Please????? If so, click on the "comments" button below the post and put your 50 there. Do it anonymously if you want. Please someone post something, I feel really lame that NO ONE has said that they are going to do 50 of anything!!! Come on people! I'm going 50 miles on foot on Saturday, April 19, 2008!!!

Since I am running the Boston Marathon two days after Dusty's race, I am thinking that I won't physically do 50 of anything, but I will give or do 50 compliments or random acts of kindness. Smile!

ReplyDeleteOn Saturday the 19th I will be running 11 miles (an all time high for me) 50 steps at a time :-) And thinking of you.
Fantastic!
Hey Boston Marathon Lady!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a great time in Boston and do wonderfully.
I'll be thinking of YOU on Monday.
Dusty
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWatch out, I might show up on your doorstep asking you to go for a run and for a place to stay!!

ReplyDeleteOn April 19th, I will honor your commitment to run RATS by making at least 50 potstickers. I am hoping to make a total of 120 and freeze then. But I promise not to stop until I have at least 50. I will take pictures to prove myself worthy.
Hey, Dusty! I did 50 situps today, and then followed them up with 50 reverse crunches. I'll do 50 reps on all of my weights tomorrow, and think of you. Good luck on your 50 miler!
ReplyDeleteDusty, I'll flip Dani in the forehead 50 times. You got such a kick out of me doing it once--what will 50 times do.
