2011 Alex's Fat Ass Ultramarathon 50K SC Version

Last night I was looking for an ultra to run and I found Alex's Fat Ass South Carolina run. It is not actually a race, but a less organized run designed to burn off the fat you gain over the holidays. The course looks like it is mostly road, with four miles of beach. I honestly think this will be a great race since it is not too long, is mostly road, and has some cool sounding people behind it. I intend on running it barefoot.

Before I run this I want to know that I can run a 50K. I want to continue increasing my distance. I can comfortably run 10 miles if my hip flexor doesn't act up like it has been. My goal is to keep expanding on this until I can run a 50k with confidence. This will take a lot of hard work, but the race isn't until January. I think if I can keep a loose schedule, like I did for my 5K, I will be fine. More thoughts on the schedule later. Carpal tunnel is bugging me.
