I've been watching the 2021 registration, because I knew I qualified after deferring in 2019 and the covid cancelation of 2020. When deadlines listed on the website had passed, I emailed the RD and asked -- and I was emailed the link!
So of course I registered!
And of course I probably won't be running the 100. Not that I'd ever *run* it anyway -- I've been thinking I'll shoot for the 50 miler or the 50K and drop down as needed as the race approaches.
But as I'm typing this, could I do a 100 "walk" miler? How slow do I need to go? Quick check of the site -- the cut-off is 30 hours. Some math... that's an 18 minute mile. That number doesn't include stopping, bathroom breaks, etc. So huh -- could I walk/run the 100 instead of the usual run/walk?
Either way, I'm registered.
I'm also planning on the Ann Arbor 26.2 -- it's on October 24th so OF COURSE I have to run it! The Hennepin is October 2-3. I can do this. Haha, where have I heard that before?

In other new, my gut has been awful lately. Crampy, pained, bloated. Thank gawd no other symptoms like before in the bathroom. (as an aside, the bathroom aspect has be the best lately). And I need to do something.
I track diligently my foods and highlight for patterns. I see them, but ignore them. My carbs are VERY high lately, averaging 190g/day! WHOA that's high for not being active. Running 15 mpw is not active, btw.
So I'm looking at what the best thing to do is. I've read again the MAF 2-week test and think it's worth a try. As for the foods list, it's really only going to remove the rice, rice cakes, fruit, and berries. But what it will change is the macronutrient ratios. Only two weeks. Decide.
