Alright, either I felt too good, or was still really delirious from the marathon, but I signed up for a 50K, or for the metric impaired, 31 miles. Personally, I blame another runner from Carmel for telling me about the race, but I guess you could say I caught the running bug. Here is a quick preview of the race:

For training, I'm feeling pretty good about the plan I put together. I'm doing a lot of back to back long runs on Saturday and Sunday. I did 13 today, and am going to do at least 10 tomorrow. While that's not a lot of miles, I did run my first marathon ever only 7 days ago. Next weekend I've got another marathon on the schedule at the Planet Adventure Race "Eagle Creek Marathon". I was originally only going to run the half marathon but after I signed up for 50K, I switched to the marathon and then decided to use it as a well supporting training run.
I still am thinking about my nutrition plan. The marathon was good, except I needed more electrolytes. S-caps? Others ideas? I'm also thinking if I am going to be running another 1-2 hours then I'm going to need some protein. Any suggestions?
