Coming off the Las Vegas Marathon on December 10th, which was my longest run ever, I am looking at trying a 50k this Sunday. It is called the Every Tom, Rick And Barry Can Do It Fat Ass 50k. I have been looking at it for a while. My running since the marathon has been off and on. I ran a little over 8 mile last weekend. This week I was planning to taper. I skipped my scheduled Tuesday run, and planned on running last night. But things got hectic, and I didn’t run last night. I am going to try to run an easy 30 minutes tonight. Then I have been getting over a cold, and seem to have another cold coming on, or the same cold coming back. I woke up this morning all stuffed up, and hacking up flem.
The Fat Ass 50k, is 4 loops around a local park. So if worse comes to worse, I can drop out between loops at about 8, 16, or 24 miles. But I figure that if I can’t run, I can at least walk the remain miles. I am going to try to pace myself by my heart rate monitor, and keep my heart rate under 150. Then if I am feeling good later in the run, I will pick up the pace some.
