Watched an awesome documentary this weekend about ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes, who ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days back in 2006. Incredible and inspiring, to say the least! I definitely want to work up to a marathon… perhaps in 2012?
In 2011, I’d like to do several more 5Ks, a few 10Ks and a half-marathon. 2012 seems reasonable to go marathon at it.
Check out UltraMarathon Man: 50 Marathons — 50 States — 50 Days to witness the craziness.
Meanwhile, I’ve already decided on my next race: the Green Lake Gobble 5K in Seattle on Nov. 21. It’ll be a completely flat course, so I should be able to significantly improve my time. However…
…it is the morning after my return home from a seven-day Caribbean vacation, during which I plan to have a margarita in my hand at all times. Perhaps I can get some running in, too. We shall see.
Therefore, my conservative goal for the Gobble (ha) is sub-28:30.
Since I did 29:13 in the last race with a huge hill, I should be able to hit 28:29 or under on a flat course with a slight hangover. Right?
Right.
