I received this email today. It is for early registration for an ultra marathon in November. I did this race last year at the end of March and felt great (and sore and tired) afterwards because that was longest distance I had ever ran. I have not ran a marathon nor longer race since then.

It is so tempting to sign up again. Part of me is ready for something challenging. As if running a half marathon every two weeks is not challenging enough. It is but this will be even more challenging and rewarding. Plus, it will give me a chance to beat my time of 6:20:55. Yes, I ran very slow.
I am not sure how I can train for this race since I do have a race every two weeks. It is doable? Or maybe I should just wait till next March when my race schedule is more flexible and not racing every two weeks?
Well, it is definitely something to think about.
