Richard and I met for a short 4.5 mile barefoot walk after work today to loosen up our joints and muscles. No need to risk any real injuries a day before the North Face Endurance Challenge Gore-Tex 50 Miler this weekend. Almost managed to get a blister anyway. We'll be leaving for Pine Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia tomorrow at noon, so we can participate in the pre-race talk given by Dean Karnazes and other North Face sponsored athletes. Should be interesting. My training hasn't been what I need it to be to to run 50 milers, but this race will give us a clear indication for the Pinhoti 100 in November. I am excited and scared at the same time. My next blog entry will provide the answer.
