Blackbeard’s Revenge 100, OBX [Day541]
While I had wanted Umstead 100 to be my first 100 mile race, Outer Banks’ Blackbeard’s Revenge was the runner up on my list. I ended up running the Rocky Raccoon instead in Huntsville, Texas as my first during 2021. Since then I ran other 100 mile races and finally circled back to this one.…

Day538 10-Mile Race
I love racing. How many times have I done this one, I have no idea. At least twice. Back in 2017 and 2018, I ran every race that is available held by the local running store (Potomac Running). As I took on bigger races, I mean longer distances, like 50 mile and 100 mile races,…

Day537 random talks
Nothing big happened this week following the Cowtown Marathon. I am a bit bored as usual and feeling a bit unproductive and negative. My legs are still sore even a week after. I have not run much to save them. I did try running 7 miles on Thursday. It got the blood flowing. Theorectically, I…

Day532 midterm
Day500 happened during the end of last summer. I have been putting off a midterm (day 525) review for a bit because it happened close to the end of the year and I already had done various reviews for the end of the year. At the time, I’ve also done a bit and was still…

Day525 resolve
New Year is already here! I am behind on making my resolutions. I am not a big fan of making resolutions because I usually fail after a few days. I also the type of person who needs to have them because I love structure. I did not start the year with a bang, but I…

Day524 End of the year
Last couple weeks, a recurrently theme and more like a question to myself, was what am I going to do next. I do know and at the same time not know. I could fake an answer, but I cannot to lie to myself. For running, I have a long to-do list. I always wish I…

Xmas
National Christmas Tree Our running group made a stop by the White House this past week to take photos of the National Christmas Tree. There were other smaller trees representing 50 states and territories. They are already posted on social media sites (not by me). Last couple weeks, I also visited other christmas trees in…

Day521 I’m ok / 2022 race recap
I have been recovering well the last two weeks. I just have nothing to blog about. I was thinking of doing some kind of highlight reel of my 2022, so here it is. It is also a time to pause, meaning what am I doing next. I know I have a bunch of races for…

Day519 lessons
The Devil Dog is so much for me to debrief in a go. I might need some time, maybe some weeks later. It was a good race is all I got to say for now. Here below is an entry I wrote probably back in October (the airport trip) but did not get a chance…

Day516 Thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving! I know Canadians had it last month and other countries probably have it on a different date or some don’t have it at all. This day always slips by me so fast and that I am not quite ready to answer. The question is of course, what are we thankful for this year.…
