Don't Panic.....RUN!!!!!!

Trying not to freak myself out.


I've signed up for my first 50K, the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, in Utah on March 23. Check it out====> Antelop Island Buffalo Run

Did i mention it's my first?    (*teeth chattering*)

Ddon't get me wrong, i'm as excited as hell at testing my endurance not only at this distance but on trail running as well.   I've NEVER been considered a fast runner by ANY stretch of the imagination but recently when i learned that you basically take your average road pace and add 3-4 minutes?  Well, now i'm just getting scared whether or not i'll finish in the 10 1/2 hour course limit.  But i'm still willing to try!

There's just so much to learn and consider.

      I live in Texas at around 550 feet above sea level. This event starts at 4,200 with it's highest point around 5,000.

     I'm a newbie to both trail running and 50K so i've learned there's new course etiquette i need to learn. You mean i can't just run on the sidewalk when i'm passing or being passed?

     Drop bags!  What the hell do i put in them and how many do i need????

    And, so, so , so much more!!!!


So, yeah.  Fear!  Trepidation!  Excitement!  Anticipation!  among other feelings are plaguing me at the moment.  Wish me luck!

Happy Running!
