24 hours

I'm a little over 4 days until my 1st 24 hour race and I have no idea what to expect. The good news is that I'm just wanting to get some miles in and time on my feet, so I'm not going out there with any big expectations. I will use this as a training run and experiment with some different food and drink combinations to see what works best for me. If you follow me on Facebook I will also be posting updates throughout the day and night on my progress, so feel free to send me any motivation.

The rest of this week is just rest, relaxation and getting mentally ready to run around a .5 mile course.

Best of luck! It is hard for me to immagine running 24 hours on such a short course. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on the event.

Good luck..although you are in the thick of it right now, I suspect. You'll do great.
