...and if you can do 50 miles...

Once you see how fun the 50K is, and how easy, you will be chomping at the bit to do it. It's not that much of a jump.If you can do 50K, you can do 50 miles.

Buddo, you're so right. My first ultra was supposed to be a 50k but turned into a 100k last minute (long story). Had these events not unfolded, I'd still be sitting here wondering if I was cut out for a 100k. As the corporate giant would say, Just Do It. Best of luck!!

Talked about 50 milers today with my running buddy, Karen. She's saying, yeah, maybe in a couple of years . . . well, that's what she said to me last year when I indicated I was interested in doing more than 12. Now we're scheduled for the 30k and two 50ks! Her sister is an avid ultra runner, so we may be able to be a good influence on her. Wink

Don't know how many of you are transplants from CR, but Karen's sister is Kate aka KateMD.
