rest is a nice way to say I am burned out from running. I took a week off. This was not intentional. It was that I couldn’t bring myself out to run. First time happened since I started running 5 years ago. I did take time off before – twice last year for two weeks… Continue reading Day430 rest and plan
Day429
Contentless entry. Writing this more to myself because its another week. I want to keep up with a weekly posting so the blog wouldn’t bit rot. So want to do some computer coding at this moment! give me a math problem so I can pound it out on the keyboard. Wait I don’t even have… Continue reading Day429
Day428 retrospect
I rarely ever was under-prepared for a race. Over prepared for one is just as shocking and my first for this Catoctin 50K. For some reason, when I signed up to run the Catoctin 50K, I signed up to only running half the distance. In the back of my mind I always thought I was… Continue reading Day428 retrospect
Day427 Smokies
It was as advertised, Smokies is a paradise for people who like outdoors. I love every moment of it. I first heard of The Smoky Mountains National Park as a kid from the Smoky Bear TV ads. When I was a teen, a friend went there during one summer and he talked about swimming and… Continue reading Day427 Smokies
Day426 go go go
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
