When the milk spills...time for plan B.Totally my own fault. I waited too long to register for the Mt. Disappointment 50k Endurance Run. I was printing out the paperwork tonight and found that the race is full and no longer taking entries. Like I said, I take the blame for this, I figured it could wait to get back from Thailand before worrying about it. I would have done it sooner, but dragged my feet since I had to print out race results to prove I had previously completed an ultra and then mail in the entry with a check. I'm spoiled on internet registration. So I can only be upset with myself for this, however...there was a contingency plan in place.
I am now registered for the Bulldog 50k Ultra Trail Run. It takes place 2 weeks after Mt. Disappointment in Malibu about 30 minutes from our house. Nice. I am going for an organized 25k training run on the course tomorrow morning. Race day will be two of the 25k loops at a total of 8000 ft elevation gain. Unfortunately much of the course is fire road, leaving only a little bit of single track. I don't think I'll be complaining about that 29 miles in on race day. A nice bonus is that Nicole will be home from Thailand when I run this one.
Training run report to follow. Time for bed. I haven't gotten more than 5 hours sleep a night since returning from Bangkok. Looks like I'm repeating that pattern tonight...

My sleep is all out of whack since being back. I STILL haven't slept more than 5 hours a night. Other than that I'm back in the groove of things here. Nicole comes back in just over three weeks. I love your Sierra pics.
