It may seem unintelligent to run 10 miles less than a day before I attempt to run/hike 100 miles through Millcreek, Big and Little Cottonwood canyons, with about 40,000 feet of vertical gain. I am combining yesterday's short 2+ mile run up to Willow Lake in BCC with m run this morning. It was necessary for me to go up Millcreek canyon today and run 4 miles up to Big Water trail head to leave water and a cold pop cooling in the creek. Tomorrow I will arrive at Big Water (mile 41) with Big Thirst, and a cold Pepsi will be MONEY. I have been purposely cryptic about what I am doing, but to anyone that reads this, I am attempting to run the length of MillWood 100. Do a search and you will see what that is. Only two guys have completed the entire distance in one event. I aim to be the third. I have food and water caches at critical points along the route. My fitness has never been better - in my entire life.I am a 42 year old man with a much younger body. I can, in fact, do this. If my knees and joints hold together, I will roll into Millcreek Canyon at the Desolation Trailhead sometime Saturday morning to Saturday afternoon. I will certainly be out there for 35+ hours. |
