Fall season is here! And so too for signing up for races

I just paid a lot of mulla for this website. It is not yet due but they already took my money. But they asked me for payment the other day. No they don’t ask, they just charged it to my card.

I am poorer by the minute. Now race sign up season is upon me.

I have not decided which races to run for next year.  Never look back. Always step foward.

Looking back, I have done a lot. I only want to run a marathon. Now I have ran close to 20 one-hundred milers. Ran 8 this year alone and there are couple more left. Where am I heading next?

Tough. I want to have an over arching strategy of where I will be heading. The original mission was to run across the US one day. Still is. It is the reason I am running ultras.

Next goal originally was to do the UTMB and Hard Rock.  I do have the lottery tickets (stones), from having run the Western States this year, but feeling cold feet at the moment  making the next step.

My motto is to reach for the impossible. Never look back always forward.

There is the Rocky Slam, Hard Rock, Big Horn, Bear, and Wasatch. I might go for one of them.

Then there’s the Midwest Slam, Indiana, Hallucination, Mohican, and Burning River, Kettle Moraine

Personally, I want to do Bootlegged, or Red Dirt, some easy 100, like Pine Creek or Oil Creek. There’s also the Pinhoti some said is doable.

Then there is the Cruel Jewel. I have been avoiding that one, but it pops back from time to time. It will going take a lot of self talk to get me to sign up.

I am thinking of running some of the same race over, Burning River, Devil Dog, Massanutten and maybe C&O Canal. Doing something familiar is easier than doing something new.

Enough for now. I have to sleep on it.

(I have nothing to write, so I am just filling up the paper with my thoughts on next year plan, which I don’t have any at the moment)
