100 Miles of Epic Awesomeness

I haven't fully wrapped my head around it yet (otherwise I might really freak the hell out), but my BHAG (big harry audacious goal) for 2013 is the 100 mile Rocky Raccoon trail race on February 2, 2013.

Whew. I said it out loud. Well, I typed it at least, so now I am accountable. Actually, I signed up with my running partner extraordinaire, Mark, so I was definitely already accountable!

So, what does that mean for the rest of 2012? Channeling Forest Gump! Lots of trail races and marathons in my future, all in the name of training, training, training! The next trail race on the agenda is the Captain Karl's 60k Night Trail race. The race starts at 7 pm, so it will be great practice running in the dark and while I would normally be sleeping.

I am still going to be doing a few tris, full schedule to follow ...

So, what's your next epic adventure in racing, training, life, etc?

My friend Star ran Rocky Raccoon last year and unofficially finished third (she made a wrong turn and actually went 106 miles). I think she's running it again next year for revenge. I think 100 miles sounds VERY long. Good luck in your training and stay healthy.

Awesome!!!! You are going to rock it! Can't wait to follow your progress!

I love the feeling of actually putting down on "paper" a goal you have been thinking about for a while!

Wow...that is one hell of a goal! I'm with Meredith - 100 miles seems completely unattainable for me. Will be great to follow along on your journey.
