Good luck, Blaine.

Tips?

Drink, before you feel thirsty. Eat, before you feel hungry. Run, until you feel like walking. Walk, until you feel like running. Typically, there is a “low” moment, somewhere around the 35 mile mark due to depletion. Good news is, that once you get past that you can (and will) start feeling okay again.

One more: ginger ale or 7up seems to help settle stomach distress.

Have fun.

WUSport,
I already did those runs. Weather doesn’t bother me much; I can run in most conditions. When my eyes freeze shut is about the time that I call it a day, and the coldest any of those runs got was about 15 degrees fahrenheit.

Ryan,
The race itself is actually a half hour outside of Vegas in the desert, so I should be able to write a race report, I’d think…

Wes,
I’m open to other suggestions if you have them.

Not knowing the Vegas area but knowing its reputation for gambling I am thinking that you should be running away from them casinos mate. Being that is your winter those long runs are going to be mighty tough if you have to do them after or before the dreaded work day good luck, I’ve just got to go and turn the air conditioner down .
