Why running this race? The race promised a course that is beautiful, hard, and they have ponies! It was definitely hard even with long cutoffs and a shortened course. The beauty of the place does make up for the hard run. I love mountains. I love the view. I got to see the highland from… Continue reading Day419 Grayson Highlands 50
Day418 Mouth of Wilson
I might be repeating myself, but I like how goals that seem to be impossible or even unthinkable are suddenly become mundane. Why I set those goals? I like to dream to the point of fantasizing. Don’t we all? I dream of running in this place and that place or going to here or there… Continue reading Day418 Mouth of Wilson
Day417 time pause
I read a good blog the other day from Isaac Takes a Hike, about his Badger Mountain 100. He shared of the time during the race when he came into an aid station and he was not feeling well at least well enough to continue. He determined not to leave the aid station until he… Continue reading Day417 time pause
Day416 more races
I am biting a bit more than I can chew. I see it coming long before but I signed up more races than I can handle. Which race is it? The current one that concern me is the Richmond Marathon. I deferred it from last year because of the pandemic – later though they did… Continue reading Day416 more races
Day415 breaks
I’m taking it easier this week. Following some of my readers advices, I took couple days off running until the pain in my feet went away. I maybe am burning out. Maybe I should take a month or two off from running. Sike. I’m hyped on so many things this coming summer, like with a… Continue reading Day415 breaks
brief post – Day414
Trying to keep this short because I had nothing to say. I had a lot of ideas whenever I run, but afterward, especially the next day they vanish. I had done several long runs from work to home since I last posted about it. They are not super long, but 16-19 mile run is just… Continue reading brief post – Day414
Day413
This week, I made plans to do the Atlanta 100 over July 4th weekend while piggy back off a family vacation to the Smoky Mountains. In the end, it was not practical. So the plan was scraped. Vacation though will still be on. I will go to the Smokies but will have several days where… Continue reading Day413
Day412 random
Don’t really have much to write but trying to throw something together here while on my way to work. I’m taking the train today and plan to run back home after work. Maybe a little crazy. The mileage from google map is 14-15 miles but some of those are on roads without sidewalks, so I… Continue reading Day412 random
Day411 Seneca 50K / 2021
This was my second year running the Seneca 50K. I volunteed in 2019 and ran it last year at the beginning of the pandemic in our area. We were sitting on the edge whether we would have all the permits required for the in-person race. This year we had wave start at around 10 people… Continue reading Day411 Seneca 50K / 2021
Day410 my unicorn (goals)
-Running a 200 miler. I have no desire to do this actively yet as I did for the 100 miler. 2-3 days of not sleeping…yike. Just too brutal. I won’t close this door prematurely. It would be awesome if I do it, but I won’t cry about it if I don’t. It might take me… Continue reading Day410 my unicorn (goals)
