Saturday is my next race - Seneca Creek 50k(+) I reviewd this race last year and had a great time running it with my wife, who even though was fighting off an injury finished with a PR. I was going to pace her again this year as well as Matt but due to unforseen circumstances each though it may be better to run the marathon instead. The marathon is no joke either as it may actually measure out at close to 30 miles on a tough trail. For myself I'm hoping to bring it in under 7 hours - my legs are still tired from last weeks Hashawha Hills 50k (and its 4000 elevation gain) and the Mid MD 50k two weeks before that. This will be the end of my mini grand slam and then it's back to training for other events this year - namely Catoctin (again!)and a faster marathon time. I'm also hoping for something a bit longer this year than a 50 miler - 100k would be perfect and I would love to do a 12 or 24 hour race. All in time and I'm sure they each will happen. Every race presents its own unique challenge and I don't overlook a single one - so every race is another opportunity to do my best on that given day. So what happens this Saturday will be another perfect day in the woods. I'm looking forward to it.
Peace,
Eric
