[625] Roanoke Marathon
I finished the Roanoke Blue Ridge Double Marathon. It was my third time at this event. It might seem so long ago when I did my first event there. Roanoke Marathon has it history and how it shapes me to be a runner indirectly at least. My friend was studying at Virginia Tech at the time…

[624] – I’m feeling it
My excitement is bubling up as we step closer to May! Wait, April is not even over. To other people, I always have a bunch of races. True, so many, even I can’t keep track of them. We just finish the BRR 50, which was a big race for me. Before then, I ran the…

[623] Bull Run Run 50
Last couple years my spring training has been mainly for two races, the first is BRR 50 (Bul Run Run) and the second MMT 100 (Massanutten Mountain Trail Run). I read initially the running club VHTR came to be because of these two races. They still host them and they are still their signature races.…

[622] fire on the mountain and bridge collapsed
Wow these were news that hit home on the day I got back from Sydney. The Baltimore bridge is no longer there. I am not sentimentally attached to it, being on it maybe once or twice in my life but seeing it on the news the next day, was a OMG, what just happened. Those who…

[621] Trip to Taipei and Sydney
I ran in both Taipei and Sydney but did feel out of place while running there because there were not a lot of runners around except on a weekend. Running in Sydney felt more at home, due to less chance of running into people. I usually run in early morning to avoid people. Taiwan though…

[620] New Taipei WJS Marathon – What’s Next
I did many races. This is probably most awesome yet. A year ago, I went to Toronto for my international debut. Yes, I felt like a hot stud. US is no longer my playground, now the whole world is. We are going international! Maybe one day, we get to run on the moon or another…

[619] Seneca Creek 50k and news
This week run was similar to one I did last week. It is spring so we have a lot of rain. As you can guess, it makes running “fun”, meaning running in mud and being wet and cold. I take it all. Give me the toughest conditions for me to be ready for my future…

[618] Naked Bavarian
I am addicted with running, my friend commented. My life consists of work work work and run run run. When I was in school, we had the motto to work hard and to play hard. We often use a blowfish to represent us which can drink up 10x – 20x their body weight. Meaning, we…

[617] Surprise 3rd winter storm (the Reverse Ring)
The Ring and the Reverse Ring. Those who are in the know know. It is not a secret but the Ring and the Reverse Ring is like a secret club run. I think because it is hard and very few people do it. It ends up as a clique thing. First, it has certain entry…

[616] MMT Training 2 (mile 35-65) Second winter storm
We have a total of four training for MMT 100 mile race. The past weekend, we did the second run. Each run is about 30 ish mile and over four training, we would cover the entire course. For me, the training runs are more fun the the race itself. Night before the run, we had…
