I can’t believe it’s time to be training for my B2B ultras!\u00a0 For the past year, I’ve known these races were coming and BOOM! Here we are, getting started on training for the first of two events, a 50 Miler in Texas, a mere 8 weeks away!<\/p>\n

Nothing like cutting it a little close, eh?<\/p>\n

This 50 miler is no stranger to us.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, this will be our 3rd year in a row running these trails.\u00a0 TROT (Trail Racing Over Texas) never disappoints.\u00a0 They always put on a quality event and the Brazos Bend December race is the icing on the cake!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We completed the 50 mile distance there two years back and will be returning to run the 50 mile distance again.\u00a0 I can’t wait to run these trails!!!\u00a0 The thing that makes it even more exciting is my friend, Shobal, has agreed to pace me for my last loop!\u00a0 We’ve run together so many times on training runs so this will be a blast!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We started our training for Brazos 2 weeks ago.\u00a0 After a little over a week recovery from Barkley Fall Classic, we started back up with short and easy runs to get our legs and body ready for the soon to come BIG miles!\u00a0 I very serious love the BIG miles!!!<\/p>\n

6 weeks after running Brazos Bend 50M, we’ll be heading to the panhandle of Florida (if there’s anything left after today’s hurricane!\u00a0 Stay safe everyone!!!) for Bear Bait Ultras!<\/p>\n

Last year I ran Bear Bait for the first time.\u00a0 Holy Cow that was fun!!!\u00a0 Holy Cow that was COLD!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This kid was seriously under-dressed for the race day weather.\u00a0 Who knew we’d be running in single digit wind chill all day!?!\u00a0 I mean, it’s FLORIDA!!!<\/p>\n

Still a totally awesome event!\u00a0 This year they’re offering the 100k distance for the first time so of course I had to register for it!\u00a0 I’ll have 19 hours to complete the 62+ miles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bear Bait is a 4+ mile looped course around a beautiful lake.\u00a0 It’s mostly single track trails and just a fun, fun course!\u00a0 Plus, it has flush toilets at the S\/F!\u00a0 YAY for real bathrooms!!!\u00a0 #ItsTheLittleThings<\/p>\n

Once these two events are completed, I’m thinking a little down time will be in order?\u00a0 As much as I love to run, resting is a necessary (and often welcome) part of training and we need to respect that as much as grinding out the training miles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

*I’m still looking for pacers for Bear Bait.\u00a0 If you feel like a lap or two this coming January, give me a shout!\u00a0 I’m allowed a pacer my last three loops OR when the sun goes down.*<\/p>\n
