I have nothing to post, but going to post something any way because possibly this will be my last posting before a trip to the Smokies. As always what they say, man proposes and God disposes, one of the camp sites where I had a reservation got canceled due to bear activities. Scary. I might… Continue reading Day426 go go go
Day425 Laurel Highlands 70
I have been waiting to run this race two years ago after hiking/camping the last 40 miles of it. Finally got to run it this past weekend. On the map, one might be fooled that it is flat as a pancake. Laurel Highlands is not. There are many hills and over the long distances, they… Continue reading Day425 Laurel Highlands 70
Day424 Worlds End
A Big weekend – best and much hyped though I would not able to compact and let the world know how great it was. I forgot how I got into this but many months ago I responded to a call for volunteering at the Worlds End Ultra. Likely it was because my friend was also… Continue reading Day424 Worlds End
Day423 CRAW – a big finish
CRAW is something so hard like impossible but once doing it, it is not too bad. I have been doing this virtual race, trying run around the world with a team of 10, virtually (of course). It is a bigger version of running across Tennessee, which I did last year (GVRAT) and I am doing… Continue reading Day423 CRAW – a big finish
Day422 Moonlight rambling
Going to ramble on something. Time flies. I looked back a few years ago of the things I did …. and this came about when I stumbled on an old document in my drive. Actually not that old but is now dated for being over a year. I used to record a brief summary of… Continue reading Day422 Moonlight rambling
Day421 River scramble
River Scramble 10k and Bust the Banks 13.1 are Richmond gems of trail running in the city. I did this in 2018 as my first trail racing. It was a lot of fun. Full of adrenaline rushing down hill and power run up hill, rock hoping and scrambling, it was what I imagined trail running… Continue reading Day421 River scramble
Day420
I signed up for EC Marathon. I wanted to go somewhere. Somewhere relatively far. This will be for one of the 50 states marathons. I was deciding among Maine, Tulsa, and EC. Maine was where I wanted to go last year, but was canceled due to Covid19. Tulsa has been a goal since forever, every… Continue reading Day420
Day419 Grayson Highlands 50
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
