Maine, eh? I need a race up in that area. But November is the month where I can't get a race in Colorado. October is generally pretty good for races around here.

So I just signed up for a 50K trail race in October 100% single track. I don't even know how to begin training for it LOL

I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of single track. Good luck to you. I just started running again after 6 weeks off for knee healing. I'm having a huge internal debate about signing up for a race in March in Chicago. I'd love to mark Illinois off my list, but I am in terrible shape right now. 5 miles has me gassed. I need to get up to 8 to 10 just to see if my knee is okay, and won't do that for another couple of weeks.

I'm toying with the idea of "running the gamut" this year - 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon...and then end with this 50k. |

So that 50k got me thinking - that is a long run. A guy I was talking to last week said he was gonna do a 36 mile trail race of some kind in the Tobacco Root range here in Montana. Well it turns out that the Tobacco Root range run doesn't stop there - there is a 100 mile trail race with a 38 hour time limit (just over 22 minute miles for those of us keeping track. That said, in crunching the numbers, you could conceivably rest for 8 hours and run 18 minute miles.) However, the tobacco root range tops out over 10,000 feet and is some pretty rugged country. I have to say, that run would probably be pretty humbling.

That race is in February so if it's like it is right now - gorgeous. Sunny, 60 degrees, 45% humidity.
