Running my first 50 mile trail race!
I know I said I’d never run another half marathon after my first years back. I also said I’d never run another marathon after ripping my quad tendon in 2016. I am the person who said I’d never ever run an ultra.
Well now this is awkward. I’m signed up for the Mohican 50 mile trail race in Ohio this June. I can’t believe I’m actually saying that. This will be quite an undertaking and thankfully I have a running coach who can assist me in my needs. The exciting part will be the terrain and scenery on the trails. I’ve watched so many Youtube videos on the race and am really looking forward to the challenge.
It will be a challenge! 50 freaking miles!! Honestly, I’m not thinking about a finish time or race goal and am taking the time to just enjoy the experience and test my limits. I’ll rest when I need to and eat when I need to. I’ll take some videos and action shots and meet new people.
Stay tuned to training posts and how much more excited I get as race time nears!

I definitely want to follow along with your training, I’m playing around with the idea of signing up for my first ultra maybe this fall or for 2019! Do you have a training plan picked out?
