I’m Running 50 Miles Tomorrow
When I was a Boy Scout, they used to do something called the 50/20. The goal was to travel 50 miles in 20 hours by foot. I thought that would be the most amazing accomplishment, but I never had a chance to do one. I only heard about them, and they fascinated me. Ever since then, I’ve had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to run 50 miles in a day. Well, tomorrow I’m going for it.
I’m running the Buffalo Run 50 miler on Antelope Island, which is on the Great Salt Lake (Utah). It’s a trail run that takes you through some of the most desolate yet beautiful territory you’ll see.
Hopefully I’ll live to tell about it. Both my dad and my mother-in-law are afraid for my life, and my dad asked if he should stay on his knees all day praying while I run.
It’s a new and exciting challenge for me. But during the race tomorrow, I might not find it such a glorious idea. We’ll see. If I survive, I’ll let you know how I do.
