Cancelled.
Rescheduled then cancelled.
Cancelled.
So goes the course of my spring races. I don't sign up for summer races because I'm a wimp and don't do heat well.
I wish I could say I had been vigorously training but work has been insane (they actually cut our pay while everyone else was getting essential worker bonuses). Go us. I guess. And my knee has been wonky and randomly swelling. Which are just two excuses for me being lazy and unmotivated. Gotta get back in the saddle. My run streak is alive and well at over 900 days so I'm running daily, just not enough to prepare for what lies ahead (eventually).
My first 100 miler was supposed to be Potawatomi. It has 16000 feet of gain (which just means we get to walk a lot), and about 100 creek crossings (exaggerated...perhaps). It got cancelled fairly early and rescheduled to next year. Then my last man standing race got pushed from May 1 to May 30 to now August 1st but I can't imagine it being run with the increase in cases.
So now the schedule looks like:
August 1st...last man standing (maybe)
mid October...Mines of Spain 100. It's a 20 mile looped course with 14000 feet hills.
Mid November...KUS 24 hour
I'm hoping Covid goes away. I'm hoping my knee gets better. I'm hoping my mojo returns. I need a massive goal for July but July is in 2 days and as of yet all I can come up with is seeing if I can consume 2 pounds of chocolate a day.
