Signed up for the Bandera 25k Saturday. After I pulled the trigger I realized that this is the first sub ultra race I've signed up for since the San Antonio Marathon in November of '99 (I've done the Bandera 25k and Hell's Hills 10k with Misty). Wow!! Nothing but ultra's for 15yrs!!
Pretty darn cool even though I'm having mixed emotions. Is the day finally here? Am I done as an ultra runner? That's been an interesting thing to hang my hat on for all these years. I'm gonna try not to focus on that for now though. I have a pretty good plan in place for doing well in the sub ultra championships for 2015. So far it looks like the Bandera 25k then Crosstimbers trail marathon in Feb. I've always wanted to run up there but always assumed it'd be the 50 mile. In the trail series you are awarded points for the longer races in your category so I'm also planning on Pandora's Box of Rox marathon in May and Brazos Bend marathon in Dec. That's 4 of the 7 races you're allowed to score points in. For now it looks like Toughest race in Texas 20 mile and maybe the marathon at Grasslands. That's another event I've always wanted to participate in. I'll have to see how the rest will shake out. I'm definitely getting excited!!
One other thing. If I can manage 99 miles this month I'll have my highest mileage yearly mileage total since '08!! Very, very happy about that!!
