Daily Comic Journal: April 25, 2017: “Well, I Got In 6% Of That 50K.”
In all the days and weeks leading up to that Saturday, there were no signs posted on any of the trails saying it would be part of any upcoming race. When I started running and ran past those people at a table full of water cups, I figured something was out of the ordinary. And yes, at one point I did get “caught up” with the race, but fortunately these trails split off in places and I quickly veered off onto the trails they weren’t using.
Now in my life, I’ve run quite a few 5 K’s, so when I did see that “50 K” sign on the water cup table, I thought it was actually saying 5.0K, but when I found out it was actually over 30 miles, even in my healthiest and best running shape days of my youth, I couldn’t come close to running a 30 mile run.
