Here is a big post. A fellow runner Greg, who ran this did a video. He gave a better description of the course better than me. — With couple (decently hard) ultras under my belt, Rock ‘N the Knob was not an impossible race, though this one literally knocked the air out of me. I… Continue reading Day440 Rock ‘N the Knob Marathon
Day439 Interlude
My head is swimming with races. I hope I have not bored my readers with so many race reports. Yes, this is not normal, but racing is back in full swing. Many of the races that were planned for 2020 finally are taking shape this year or I already did them. As I mentioned a… Continue reading Day439 Interlude
Day438 Lake Ridge 12 hrs Run
Call it a lack of discipline on my part when I signed up for a race I know I shouldn’t since it was so close to my marathon date. But I am an addict to running, I confess. I had a free weekend and it felt weird of not running in something officially sounding event.… Continue reading Day438 Lake Ridge 12 hrs Run
Day437 Iron Mountain trail run/race
Be thankful, I say. I ran and finished the Iron Mnt Trail Race (IMTR). I did the 40 miles this time. Actually it was my first time though probably won’t be my last. I signed up for the race in 2019, but I got sick that year (caught Lyme Disease) and did not make it… Continue reading Day437 Iron Mountain trail run/race
Day436 Moonlight Marathon
Blackwater Falls – The sunset had set and moon had not risen yet. It was a bit cloudy and the forecast was 10% chance of rain. The breezes were nice after couple weeks of extreme hot whether. I felt a few drops of rain but the atmosphere was like any big marathon. There were 700… Continue reading Day436 Moonlight Marathon
Day435 ACE Resort Half Marathon Part 2 and more
Continuing from last week blog, I went to Thurmond, WV, and ran the inaugural New River Gorge Half Marathon Trail Run. I think that what it was called or it could be ACE Adventure Resort Half Marathon since the whole course was on their property and we had a free night of camping. I went… Continue reading Day435 ACE Resort Half Marathon Part 2 and more
Day434 New River
I wanted to use a cop out title Brain Dump 3 / Memory Alpha. Sorry, this is another filler post – skip it if you like. Why so many filler posts? I am lazy and have been also busy doing the same thing every day, that is to finish up the Race Back Across Tennessee… Continue reading Day434 New River
Day433 brain dump2
I had some ideas earlier this morning how I should write. Unfortunately, I can’t recall them. I enjoyed my runs. I have been doing some big runs/walks to finish the Virtual Race (Back) Across Tennessee. There are about 250 miles left, and I’m kind of on target to finish (ETA 9/5). I have to finish… Continue reading Day433 brain dump2
Day432 mind dump
I used to post every day but have switched to weekly posting. Why? Less for readers to follow and read. I like to write about my runs. I had good run each day. They seem mundane but each one is special to me. Something I love to blog about but I think my readers might… Continue reading Day432 mind dump
Day431 killing time
I haven’t had much time this week because I have been running as much as I could. The cure for burn out is more running! I was very happy to run till I drop. Not the healthest way to train but it satisfied that craving for more running. I aimed to run at least 100… Continue reading Day431 killing time
