My First Long Run Of 2014

I'm currently heading to Crissy Field in San Francisco ro participate in a 24 hour race out on by Pacific Coast Trail Runs. 

For 24 hours I'll run around a one mile loop and see how many laps I can do.  Hopefully I'll run just over 100 miles.  The course will be flat and fast so running more than 100 miles at this event is a huge possibility.

I haven't ran a 100 mile race since November of last year.  I feel a little under trained (I'm also feeling a little sick) but I've done this distance before, so hopefully my previous experience will get me through my 24 hour adventure.

This coming September I am doing a benefit 130ish mile benefit run for the Bakersfield and Central Valley Ronald McDonald House.  I have decided to make today's run part of my fundraising effort.  I've asked friends, family, and supporters of the Ronald McDonald House to make a flat donation or make a pledge per mile that I will run today.

If you are interested in donating you can do so at https://www.fundraise.com/micasa/24

I set my fundraising goal for this event at $1000.00 and so far I already have $70.00 and I haven't even started running yet.

If you're able to help out with a donation of any size please do so.  I greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give.

My event will start at 8:00am (2 hours from now) and end at 8:00am tomorrow.

With a little bit of luck I hope to run over 100 miles in the next 24 hours.  I'll post my final mileage and a quick race report after I get home on Sunday afternoon.

Until next time...

KEEP RUNNING!!!!

p.s. I will do my best to update my Twitter feed every few hours with an update on my mileage.
