After a disappoint attempt at the Kettle 100 I've set my sights on the Superior 50 mile taking place this Saturday in Northern Minnesota. I made it 72 miles in Wisconsin but dropped because due to swelling in my Achilles. Not the result I was hoping for but every race teaches you a little bit more about how to be successful at these distances. There is definitely still a mental block that I'm fighting when it comes to running beyond the pain and I hoping that I'll have better luck on the wild shores of Lake Superior.
Once again my friend Chris from NYC will be joining me on the race course and his father will be providing transportation and moral support. We'll be camping out thanks to a beautiful forecast and should be eager and well-rested at the 6am race start. If you haven't had a chance to check out this race I encourage you to do so, John puts on fantastic events and although this will be my first experience with the Fall Series I've had the pleasure...although sometimes excruciating, of running his courses before. Take care, take a moment to get outside, and remember to keep those legs moving.
