Okay, here we go. I'm going public, however public my blog is. My announcement has everything to do with keeping up with the Jones's. All my running pals have accomplished extraordinary feats of endurance that far overshadow my 2 finishes at the Rocky Raccoon 100 mile.
Well, I believe I have my opportunity to do something over the top and scratch that big itch.
The number of runners wanting to run the Rocky Raccoon 100 mile and 50 mile has gone through the roof the last few years so the RD has decided to have them on back to back weekends in 2014. The 100 on Feb 1 and the 50 on Feb 8th.
While I was running this past Tuesday morning I had an epiphany. A very twisted one at that. Why not run both RR's? After thinking about it for a few miles I thought, "I really think I could do it". And I really do think I can do it. I have to do it. I have to do one really big thing, one thing with a big wow factor and I think this is it. I'm already working for it now, 81/2 months out.
Mark and I argued like a married couple this morning on our 7 mile run. I was wrong. Our time was 1:16:52!!
