Only 24 days left until the Goblin Valley Ultra Marathon 50k. A normal person would be running. I haven't run for over a week. I'm stuck on the couch with tonsillitis...again. No biggie. I'll be over it in a few days and hopefully be back to normal. At this point a tonsillectomy is an option and I'm being referred to a specialist. Blah blah blah.
I've gotten in a 20 and 24 mile run so there's a little bit of cushion there. I'm supposed to run 28 this Saturday and still planning on it. We'll see what actually happens. I've been feeling so good lately in my running. My weekly mileage is the highest its ever been--and it feels really good. I don't feel like I'm pushing too hard or anything. My speed hasn't really improved much so we'll see what happens in Greenville. I'm pretty confident I can beat my 4:18 time, we'll see about getting under 4 hours. One thing I've learned this time around is to be flexible. And frankly, every time I cross that finish line my heart smiles--no matter my time. So I'm going to enjoy it no matter what.
I CAN'T wait until Goblin Valley. I love getting together with my family no matter what we're doing. But I just remember when Scott, Melanie, and I ran the Austin Marathon and we had everyone else there supporting us. Pure joy. So I can't wait to do that again but with more of us. This time we'll have Dad, Scott (brother), Melanie (sister), Adam (brother), Jen (sister-in-law), Travis (husband), and me running with Megan (sister) and Janie (stepmother) there supporting us. I mean, doesn't that sound like so much fun?! Anyway, I'm excited and can't wait to see everyone. Until next time...!

Sheesh on the tonsillitis thing. :(
But awesome on the good training you're getting. :)
24 days?!?!?! Ahhhhhh!
Very exciting! Can't wait to hear how it goes and I hope your tonsillitis stuff departs soon!
24 days!!! Hopefully the rest will do your body good, right? I am amazed that you can run 20 & 24 (& even talk about 28). Too much fun that you will have so much family there. I love it! I am excited to see how you do in Greenville - I hope that I will beat you since I am just doing the half (and my goal is 2:30)!!!
I am excited for your race report.
Aahhh....I'm just now reading this and it's even closer. Kind of excited. Just a little bit. ;)
Can't wait to hang with the Mac Klan!
