Lately I've been in a funk and haven't been able to get out and go run. My wifey and I have been able to make a few trips down to Moab where we've done some hikes, and we also ran to Delicate Arch together.
I figured that the best way to commit to something is to throw money at it. That's the whole idea behind an engagement. If you throw lots of money towards a wedding ring you have to make sure you're committed at that point. So, I threw money towards a race, now I've got to commit. I've signed up for the San Juan Solstice 50 miler.
After signing up for the lottery, I had hopes that I wouldn't get accepted. I looked into the run more, after signing up and found out how crazy this one is. I felt that I have jumped the gun and that I am now over my head in this race. A week later they released the results of those accepted, and my stomach dropped when I saw my name on the entrants list. Now I'm screwed...
I haven't completed a real run in three weeks and my first real training week starts on Monday, a 37 mile week. It's time to get out of my funk and start running again.
