I have been thinking about what my first race of 2014 would be. I think maybe I haven't really wanted to jinx myself my actually planning a race, and when I woke up this morning I had no races scheduled.
What a difference a day makes.
I have been saying that I would like to run an actual trail race. One with registration fees, race t-shirts, timing chips and aid stations. Looks like I'm going to get my wish.
Tomorrow at 9 am, I will be participating in the Sooner State Games trail race. I actually registered for this event in 2011, but I believe it got snowy/icy and we opted to run our planned long run for marathon training instead. There is no backing out now.
What's even better is three of my favorite running peeps will be joining me on the trails, and I will get so see some of my favorite trail runners too. It should make for a very interesting day.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that we are doing the long race? It's only 12 miles, and I know that the "only" portion of that statement is purely subjective, but up until now, the farthest I have ever run/walked on trails is six miles. Peer pressure from my running friends sure makes my life more interesting!
Of course, now the big question is: What do we wear? Guess I need to work on a little carb loading and hydration.
