Tecumseh and other stuff

      So I have this thing coming up in December called the Tecumseh Trail Marathon that I am kind of nervous about. I did do one trail marathon but that is no guarantee I can do it again. I also have been going kind of crazy with the races leading up to it. Although the race I am doing tomorrow is just about the length of the run I was going to take tomorrow it is still a good distance on a trail I do not know so well.  It is just SO GREAT to be out in the forests, see the beauty of nature while testing your endurance and strength. I am looking forward to all these races even though they are a challenge. I like a challenge!
      Next weekend will be Monumental Marathon up in Indy which I am excited about as everyone is going up there it seems like. I think it will be a great experience. Then next Sunday a DINO race followed the week after with another DINO race in McCormicks Creek. Then only two weeks to taper until Tecumseh.
    The thing I am most nervous about is that I really haven't run this trail (tecumseh trail) at all. Even though I had not run the exact Eagle Creek trail we used for the marathon I HAD run two other races there so had an idea of the terrain. Here I have NONE really and I am dependent upon the kindness of others to get me out to these trails. Hence...a little anxiety.
At least I feel good that I have done enough trail running/racing now that I at least know some points on how to do that. Plus I will have friends with me so that will be good too.

So to reiterate:   Knobstone tomorrow
                         Monumental Nov. 3rnd
                         DINO Nov. 4th
                         DINO Nov. 10th
                         Tecumseh December 2nd.

WOW what have I gotten myself into??  So glad I am not the only crazy person I know who has schedules similar to this. We can commiserate together.
