Potawatomi Trail Runs` Sometime last year or two I got it into my head that doing a 50 mile race would be a good idea. Don't quite remember who I was planning it with, or what the original plan was ... But the weekend arrived and I headed to Pekin, IL for a weekend of tent camping and trails. To be quite honest, training has been nil. Swimming a bit and riding my trainer sometimes this winter, but otherwise there's been no prep for this event. Luckily it has a 34 hour time limit, and I have faith I can hike it in that time. Jessica was kind enough to sign up for the 50 miler as well, so we made plans to camp together and make a weekend adventure out it. There were others that had considered joining us, but it ended up that it was just the 2 of us. I drove over Friday, found Jessica and our tent. We got checked in and cheered on some runners when they came through camp. They provided dinner for the runners, so we grabbed some spaghetti and fresh bread to carb-load.
