That was my first ultra, at a distance of 50k. I didn't bother with my usual semi-attention to calories over the holidays, and packed on a few pounds. Come January, my long runs involved stretches of walking, and were sporadically sprinkled in my &quot;training schedule.&quot;<br /> Weird. You wouldn't think I was trying to work up to 50 miles in April, as an attempt to qualify for the Western States 100, huh?</p> <p><a href="http://www.YourRunning.com/blog-skyline_ridge_50k">read more</a></p> http://www.YourRunning.com/blog-skyline_ridge_50k#comments 50k bruised ribs marathon Pacific Coast Racing Skyline sprained ankle Trail Runs ultra Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:34:23 -0700 baldwyn 5727 at http://www.YourRunning.com
