This sounds like something I could use.

Mike & Krista, thanks for the responses. It didn't occur to me that I was almost doing b2b long ones anyway until Krista mentioned a long run followed by 10K; I already do that as my Monday nooner with the Speedy Ladies is usually about 10K. I was thinking of 2 long runs on the weekend, but the Monday run hadn't even registered. The funny thing is that my legs feel better on Monday if I've done the long run on Sunday than if I did it on Saturday. Strange, eh?

Sorry for the hijack, Robbie.

Hmmm.
Now that's a thought...
Sheldon, if I do this, will you do the Bread and Honey???

Just so everyone knows, the ones which are on the radar at the moment are the 30K at Haliburton (50K if I'm feeling confident) and the "Run For The Toad 25K", and now the race Ron just mentioned (Thanks for the heads-up on that one.). Because of my situation, I'm not going to make any commitments. It may be none, one, two, or all three, but who knows.
Many thanks for the encouragement, everyone. It is much appreciated ... even though you know I don't race.

My first time at this; hope I like it. It'll be a long day if I don't.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of a 1km loop Ron.... I always worry my brain will just shut down on that kind of race..... So I'll be interested to hear what you think. On the flip side, you'd always be seeing other runners which would be SUPER cool. This weekend the 50 miler has only 17 racers so I expect to run alone most of the way...

I'm sure the 1k loop won't be too bad.
At least it's better than a 400m track. Check out the Ottawa 24 hour Self-Transcendence:
Start Time: 8 am
Start location: Terry Fox Track, Ottawa, Ontario
Course: 400 metre tartan track
Now there's an excercise in mind over matter.

How's the ankle Mike?

I'd say my ankle is about 90% (or will be by tomorrow). The only thing I'm worried about is that the tensor may cause some friction problems. If worse comes to worse I'll just take it off.
I'm heading out around 2:30 am. What about you? What are your travel plans Sheldon?
