This is probably a conclusion to the 3 day series of what I want to do this year. I struggled with motivation in the past and it hits hard especially after running a tough race. The last quarter of 2021, I literally gave up on my training. There were many reasons to why but one… Continue reading Day458 big goal / maybe day 3 of the new year?
Day457.9 WTF again
Got to share…and can’t wait till next week or the next day. I just got accepted into the WTF race (waterfall 50K, waterfall is the nickname I think). The race is next weekend. Telling you guys, this race is old school. They don’t let you know until almost the day of. But it is free!… Continue reading Day457.9 WTF again
Day457 New year Day 2
New Year Resolutions / What I want for Christmas Time goes by so fast. Couple months ago, I was training life-and-death for my biggest race at the time. I was in a rock and a hard place…due to many things coming together at the same time. Of course, I could just walk away and not… Continue reading Day457 New year Day 2
Day456 A new year
A new year is a new beginning. Yes Day 1. I will eventually reset my blog to Day 1 maybe some day. Actually to those who didn’t know I have done so like 5 or 6 times already — not for this blog here but on 5-6 previous journals usually after about 500 ish days,… Continue reading Day456 A new year
Day455 spontaneous
Training has been hard…hard to get start again. Only way to be good at running/anything is to keep on training. The moment we stop training our body and muscles started to decline. I know all that. For me, there is never a good time to train. There is always something comes up and interferes. Only… Continue reading Day455 spontaneous
Day454 WTF stop cussing
Finally after all the training and races, I did not run much since. I guess it was a well needed rest for my mind and body. I went into running as a recreation to get away from the stress at work, but running had taken over my life and itself became a stressor. Kind a… Continue reading Day454 WTF stop cussing
Day453 Devil Dog / DNF
In a race, it is given that we want to finish. Otherwise, it is just a training run. To me a race is the real deal and mainly the reason for me to run it – to prove myself of reaching a certain level or besting a course. Also the feeling on race day is… Continue reading Day453 Devil Dog / DNF
Day452 Retirement/Investment
I went down this rabbit hole before. How much do I need to save now to retire some day? Which require me to ask how much do I need in the future. This is probably my second blog post on this topic (retirement and minimal spending). What I suggested before was am extreme look but… Continue reading Day452 Retirement/Investment
Day451 Stone Mill 50 (second time)
The race came the week after the Rim to River 100 mile. Initially, I was not going to run it since it was too close to the big race, but after finish the 100 mile, I felt why not, I feel fine, let try it. I was not running for time and in most ultras… Continue reading Day451 Stone Mill 50 (second time)
Day450 R-21.11 review
It’s day 450, by design I have to be introspective. Last review Day400, was at the beginning of the year. I already wrote all I did couple weeks (hello4) ago of all the cool races I ran this year, so I won’t repeat. Two 100 mile races, Rocky Raccoon and Rim to River, bookended the… Continue reading Day450 R-21.11 review
