Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	0.00	10.00

Ran 2 miles UP to above canal trail to Bonneville Shoreline trail and ran on it north taking varied steep hills practicing walking and running-- walking very steep hills and running down hills. Just taking it easy and see what pace I would end up with on no fuel or water (9:39 for the 10, feeling very doable so should feel awesome with an AP at 12 to make it in at just over 10 hours). Trying not to push it at all. Getting a feel for my big run and how to handle it. Pretty much an aid station to aid station run (there are 10). I will try to take brief stops at some and longer ones when I will change my shoes and/or socks. I am pretty excited to finally get to do this run. I am so not prepared as a REAL trail runner would be, no fancy equipment (no trail shoes) or well planned out drop bags. Just me, my iPod, and my water bottle waist carrier. Hoping my body is willing as my spirit is!!

I want to do something like this sometime--just me, nature, no pressure for speed, and the will to be out there all day running 50 miles. Sounds like it could be an almost spiritual experience. How exciting!

yes April that's how I am feeling about this run, a spiritual experience!! This morning after I got off work and I told people what I was doing they were like "FIFTY MILES!!!??? 50 miles!!!??? We thought of distances we drive in our car on the freeway and I began to take in the length of it and almost got wigged out thinking of it but when I imagined it on the trails it was so much more doable in my mind!! Seriously, 50 MILES?!! climbing to about 9000feet a couple times? I am still kind of in this ignorance is bliss mentality. I don't even have anything I want to have in my drop bags purchased (new socks, compression socks, and body glide). Its best not to "fully know" what is a head. Take it how it comes. Tackle it, like I tackle some of my toughest nights working with sick infants, endure to the end. I hope to have great coverage of the race for you in my report. Thanks for your support : D
