Pacifica 50K Race Day 1

Because I like to do a week of tapering before a race, I thought I would start my description of the Pacific 50K Trail Race today. This race will be the longest race I have ever done. I have been treating this race like a marathon in my preparation. This week, my plan is to have 2-3 workouts, run at a quick speed with lots of rest. Yesterday, I ran a pretty quick 5 and a half miles. Today is my day of rest. After getting my annual physical, I did some shopping and then watched the movie Gran Torino. Very good movie, but I kept thinking about whether I should go lift weights or run on the treadmill. I am feeling pretty fit and I hate to be inactive. I have to resist temptation and not ruin my race. Tomorrow, I will run a (hopefully) quick 7 miles. We'll see.
