I need a hook to keep myself interested in running ~ For the times I am grinding.
I am looking for one now
Maybe ... I realized how many Marathons and Ultras are in WI ... I could find
* 30 marathons - I have done 9
* 35 or 54 ultras (54 counting multiple distances at same race) - I have done 9 or 11
I know - What the hell does WI need so many races ... and yes most are little
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
Just a dude.
Sorry Dopple. I saw this and didn't want it to go unnoticed.
I have a big stupid goal coming up that I'm not ready to announce yet. I'm still trying to see if it is even possible. Lots of things have to go perfectly right...
But, that's what has me motivated right now. I find myself very goal oriented. And if I don't have a goal or a goal gets missed, it is very hard to keep motivation going.

Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...
Well, everything has hit the fan, so who knows what is going on.
But I turn 50 on May 28th. I'm hoping to try to run a 50 miler for my birthday. There's still a race on May 30th that is a possibility.
Right now the challenge of that is my hook. I'm doing the couch to 50 mile training plan. Its pretty crazy for me. I've never even raced a marathon. Heck, I haven't raced anything longer than a 10k since high school.
That's quite a few long races in WI.
I like your thinking Kelly.
I was trying to use 5k races to regain speed with weekly motivation. Thanks COVID 19.
Time to reset.
Interestingly enough, I ran in some pretty shitty weather this week without being a bitch. I like that part of my mental game.
