    Today is my 40th b-day and I am horribly depressed about it. I wanted to stay in bed with the covers over my head. Instead I ran 6 miles.

    WOW! OK so I thought you included that so I adjusted your goal to 120 miles for the month (in a few minutes it will be updated)!

    Sure! :happy:

    I did this same race last year and ended up finishing it injured (peroneal tendonitis), so I was determined to be more successful this year.

    The race is called the Squaw Peak 50 mile trail run, in the mountains near Provo, Utah. It's really about 51 miles, and about 6 miles of it are on road. But the rest is on singletrack trail and dirt roads. Much of it is very technical, and it has some beastly climbs (almost 11,000' gain total).

    I wrote a short report with some photos in another forum that I have long been a member of. You can see that post here:

    For comparison, last year's report (a different route due to too much snow) is here:

    (Last year's race was less than a year and a half after major back surgery)

    A long trail run is nothing like a road race. Nothing. You focus on finishing, hopefully not feeling like you've been rolled by an avalanche. Pace only matters if you're an elite (I'm not) or if there is a cutoff you need to meet to stay in the race. People make jokes about puking (and a lot of people do end up puking). Nutrition and hydration are a science. It's hard on your body. My mantra is generally "keep moving". I really love to run and am not fast and since discovering this type of running about 6 years ago I haven't gone back to the pavement (it also enabled me to lose a total of about 20 pounds overall; I am firmly in maintenance mode and plan to stay here).

    It takes a long time to train for something like this. I started out doing 50k and shorter races for a couple of years and then eased into 50m races. It just takes a couple of years for your connective tissue to adapt (at least it did for me). I'm no spring chicken, and am careful with training. 50m is really my limit; too much time required to train for anything longer.

    Cheers!

    How interesting, and inspiring I read both of your reports in the forums! I have had t deal with my connective tissues myself (hip issues) and I am finally adapting. I love trail running too.

    Thank you for sharing this! It is truly inspiring. Don't know if I could ever do more than the marathon, as that is challenging enough all on it's own. I can't imagine running 50 miles. I loved your race report and pictures! Inspiring indeed! Keep up the great work!

    Hi there, I've seen this threat around for a while and finally have the courage to ask if I can join this month?? I have a half marathon on 1 July - my second, and would like to think ill run 50 miles between 1 June and 30 June!

    I'll add up how many Kms I've done this last week and send through in miles once I know if I'll fit :)

    I thought the same. What an incredible achievement. I used to watch the ultra-marathoners run The Comrades (they passed near my home) and I always wanted to *be* one of them. I'm awestruck by what it takes to achieve this. Incredible stuff, well done!

    I'm very proud to say that I (together with my incredible little dog Sophie) ran 13.2 miles today. that's my longest distance. Also according to runkeeper, my steepest climb. I think me and the mutt did pretty well, even if we were a bit slow.
