A little nervous

Good morning all.  Yesterday's run went fairly well although it only ended up being 20 miles instead of 26.  I literally just ran out of time.  As I am sure you all know it can get tricky some times trying to juggle business, training, being a good father, and being a good husband.

For yesterday's run I listened to a new book on tape.  Someone had recommended I try "Jon Stewart Presents the Earth".  I know he can be a polarizing figure for some but I must say his book is pretty funny no matter your political persuasion.  I did find it interesting that my pace slows dramatically when listening to audiobooks vs my music.  I was trying to run slower anyways but it felt harder then usual to speed up.  So at about mile 12 I switched back to my pump up music and was able to shave 2min/mile off my pace without a problem which made me feel better.

The title of the post is referring to the weather forecast.  My 50 miler is on March 5th and as of right now the forecast is calling for rain the day before as well as the day of the race.  The race director informed us that if it rains this course will be MUDDY!  Although I am always up for a little adventure I was kinda hoping to actually be able to run this race vs slog my way through it.  Oh well, such is life!  Have a great day everyone.
