Try, try again.<\/p>\n
About a year ago, I signed up for my very first Ultra. \u00a0It was the Mississippi 50 Trail Run. \u00a0This is a 50K\/50Mile event in Laurel, Mississippi. \u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/www.ms50.com\/<\/p>\n
If you have been follow my blog for a year, then you will recall how I ended up with a Femoral Stress Fracture and had to sit out on that event. \u00a0As it would turn out, I was not able to fulfill my dream of being an Ultra Marathoner until this past July when I ran the Big Butts 50K\/100K (I ran the 50K) in Clinton, Mississippi.<\/p>\n
I spent most of January and February of this year on crutches. \u00a0Major bummer, that was.<\/p>\n
I knew that the registration for the MS50 was coming up but wasn’t sure as to exactly when.<\/p>\n
This morning, on my Yahoo mail AND my Google mail, I received an email from the MS50 people saying, “Hey! \u00a0Want go try again?” \u00a0You betcha I did! \u00a0So, I immediately pulled up the registration and signed up for the second time for their event.<\/p>\n
I am keeping my fingers crossed for a successful training season. \u00a0A couple of weeks ago, I signed up for the Mississippi River Marathon http:\/\/www.msrivermarathon.com\/. \u00a0My reason for doing this (I was planning ahead, you see) was to use that marathon for a long training run for this Ultra.<\/p>\n
So, this is what I have pending right now. \u00a0The Chicago Marathon in 11 days. \u00a0A Half Marathon on Thanksgiving Day. \u00a0 The Steam Whistle 12K on New Year’s Day. The Mississippi River marathon in Valentine’s Day and the MS50 Ultra the beginning of March.<\/p>\n
Tentatively, I also have a race in Austin, Texas, I have been invited to, but this is still up in the air as to if I will do that one or not. \u00a0I may be “raced out” by then and in need of a little break.<\/p>\n
Then, there is the matter of a fall marathon…..<\/p>\n
