I need to follow your blog, I am a Twinkie runner wantabe!! What race are you doing tomorrow and good luck!

I have read about the Mid Marathon trail run, it sounds very intimidating, I want to run that trail as a training run someday, it sounds great. How does it compare to the Wasatch Crest trail?

I just noticed you did the OV50. How was that? I am planning on doing it this year, it will be my first 50. I am nervous and super excited about moving up to the next level!

Good luck tomorrow!!!

Jun - Thanks for the support.

Leslie - Tomorrow I am running the Striders winter racing circuit 10 miler.

The mid mountain marathon trail is great to train on because it doesn't have large up and downs. It has small up and downs at around 8000 ft. It can be tough if you are not used to higher elevation.

I haven't ran OV50 before, I am planning on running it this year. It will also be my first 50 miler.

Okay, we will see you at the start line and then probably not again, my plan is just to make the cut off, 12:59 would be a sweet victory. I am going to be watching your blog, you have alot going on. Best of luck to you tomorrow.
