So I've found some motivation

Well, I have been a pretty lame runner for a while now ever since my half marathon almost a year ago. I have only run on and off and not very well at all. I chalk that up to a lack of preparation for my last two races that quite frankly, wiped me out. That said, for the nth time, I am back on the horse, and I have to tell a lot of people about it so I can save face. I have found a race that will be a definite challenge to prepare for.
I will be competing in an ultra-marathon on July 1, 2011. I have started training and am crossing the days remaining off the calendar. I will be in Tulsa over the 4th of July weekend next year and I will run in the Tatur Midnight Madness 50 miler (51.5 miles to be exact). Here is their website: http://www.tatur.org/Midnight50/index.html. More updates to come, but I needed to get that out there so I can have as many people as possible holding me accountable for my training.

  1. Brother, that is serious stuff. That's 10 hours of running if you can keep a 12min/mile pace. I applaud you for being crazy enough to consider it, let alone run it. We'll try to be there at the finish line to see you cross. :)
