It seems like we didn't really even have a fall this year and its already November tomorrow. Its daylight savings time tonight so don't forget to set your clocks back. This also means that it will now be dark when I get off work and I will be running five days a week in the dark.
The past three weeks I have done little running, and I have enjoyed taking the time away from running, but I am about ready to start training again. I am trying to figure out what races I plan on running next year and am really looking forward to some new races and new challenges. I am quite certain that I want to run my first 100 miler in 2010. I am thinking that Kettle Moraine would probably be the best timing for me. Leading up to this race I would likely do a few local 50k/50 milers and a marathon with Kristen in preparation for the 100. Depending on how things work out I am also thinking that I would like to see what kind of a time I could run in a fall marathon with proper preparation. I have really not had proper preparation for a marathon since my first marathon at TCM in 2004 (2:54).
I know the 100 is a whole new world compared to a 50 miler so I would appreciate any advice or recommendations as I begin to prepare for my first 100 miler.

Some people do their first 100 with ease, having trained little and some just never do well. If you don't succeed, then maybe I have some advice; I know about that. The standard advice is to train like you would for a marathon, but with longer long runs (35-40 miles, every few weeks).
