Running Down A Dream

Name of Event: Kettle 100m solo
Distance: 100
Measurement: Miles
Date: Saturday June 6th, 2015

LOL to the measurement!!! That's copied from my registration confirmation email. Yup, I did it! I'm registered! I'm officially in training for a 100 mile trail run.

Here's some of the typical responses you get after tell people about this race:

"Do you have to run the whole thing?"
Response: "No, you can walk."

"Can you rest?"
Response: "Sure, they have chairs at the aid stations, and there are plenty of rocks and stumps."
"Can you sleep?" 
Response: "Yes, but you need to finish within a roughly 30hr time"

"How many days will it take?"
Response: "Hopefully a little over one day."

My Favorite so far:
"Do you need a special bike for that?"
Response: "No, just trail running shoes." LOL!

"I don't like to drive that far"
Response by TV: "Well you just need to train for it! Take your car out for longer drives each weekend. Find a hill and drive up it as fast as you can 10 times."  LOL!!!
