I ran across this trail ultra marathon on the web. It's just down the road in Auburn. My longest race is only 26.2 miles, but I've felt good enough to keep going (particularly at San Francisco). The race is March 20th. I'll start increasing miles in January.
50K is a long ways, 31 miles, so I'll probably get some new trail shoes. I have my eye on two options. The Rucky Chucky (North Face) or the Structure Triax 13 Trail (Nike). The Rucky Chucky is named after this run. Sounds fitting. I'll try both of these on in December and make a selection in January.
