Day 3,562 —My next Race—

Part of me has been debating going up in distances, and there is a race about 2 hours away that has 150M and 200M options. I like the idea of trying 150 before 200. It seems so common for me to hear guys say they went up to do a 200 after a few 100-mile races, but why rush it? 

Also, the amount of time involved is kind of insane. The one in the spring has a Thursday start time.

So, I think I am going to do the Ozark Foothills 100. It is April 6th, which seems kind of far away but otherwise, it is perfect. It is usually the same weekend as the Go St. Louis, and since it is my annual tradition to do that race, I have never seriously considered it. Yet this year, Go St. Louis is at the end of April.

I'll have to pick out some other races to do as well. Part of me wonders if I should instead commit to ultra-training runs in lieu of the travel time plus expenses but I like the comradery and trying something different.
