Sent in my check for Wasatch so with some luck of the draw I will run it again in 2013. I want it more now than I did last year.

In February I will be running the Moab 50K. I am going to run light and quick. One or two handhelds bottles, and fuel will be all gel, in the pockets. It's how I train.

In March I will in a racing mode for Buffalo Run 100 Mile. I know I can place in the top 10, so I will be seeking to upgrade my place from there. I will run with one handheld bottle and fuel mostly on gels. I took gels and maybe a few Stinger waffles, and of course popsicles, all the way through to mile 53 of Wasatch so it is a plan that works for me. With my feet feeling good I can do some damage.

Speedgoat will again be a highlight of my 2013. I will be signing up January 1st.

If I do not get into Wasatch I will take the money saved and split it for two other 100 mile events. Yeah.

Soon I want to get at least one ultra-distance run in per month, upwards of 50 miles. But I have been listening to my body and right now I am hearing "don't run". It is OK to take time off.

That's an awesome schedule! I wish I was going to Moab, that race will be a lot of fun. Instead, maybe I should sign up for Speedgoat?

What can I do to get you to sign up for Speedgoat?

Pros:

it's local

good price

you have been training hills and getting really good

it's freakin' Speedgoat

Cons: none

The only possible issue is that it conflicts with the one triathlon I run every year. But maybe it's time for a switch.

Triathlon...blah...Ha ha, just kidding.

I am thinking about Speedgoat as well. That's one that's always been on the list.

Listen to that body, now's the time to rest so you can hit all those races hard.

Hm, Speedgoat. One of these years I might actually try that race. $75 though, I wouldn't call that a good price for a 50k. That is what's stopped me in the past. Is it still the same price this year?

From MatthewVH on Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 17:34:37 from 70.57.91.80

I laid down $100 for the Moab 50K, so $75 is mi-T-nice.
