Oops

For some reason, I assumed the BLR Ultra was 2 months apart from the Kaveri Trail Marathon. Turns out, the Ultra is scheduled for 7th November and KTM is on 20th September. That gives me just 6 weeks in between the two (assuming I make it to the starting gun of KTM and finish).

IF I make it to the starting gun of KTM and IF I finish, I will be in uncharted territory...lining up for a 50K barely 30 days later. Previous times, it's taken me a week just to start walking right again after finishing a 42 K and my last 50K experience redefined pain and struggle. Daunting. But then again, I'm not running just to finish a 42K or a 50K. I'm running to push myself as hard and as far as I can. And then some. I'll find out how hard and far I can go soon enough.

For now, I had a good swim again this morning and it yet again helped ease the soreness this time in my left calf. I'm loving the swim time and will put in more as the days pass. I need to start working on some core work too soon but I'm hoping swim time is also contributing to core fitness.

Now 3 days of rest and a 15K long run this Sunday.
