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.…

Shamrock Marathon [day540]
Quite a lot happened this week. I might have been more quiet than usual because I am going through some existentialist crisis. I still love running a whole lot. If I am given a choice, I would choose running. I would love to demonstrate my running feats. One up of things I did so to…

snow! [Day539]
Maybe it was the last snow this winter. Nothing sticked but was still exciting. It snowed in the middle of the night. I was afraid the next day our 50K run would be canceled. Last year, in similar condition, the race was canceled for fear our runners would ruin the trail. Every year since the…

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,…

Day536 Cowtown Marathon / 50K
I flew into Dallas/Fort Worth last week. I was primarily there to run the Cowtown Marathon. This trip was in planning over a year. I had my eyes to cross out Texas as one of the 50 states marathon. I have been to Texas in 2021, doing the Rocky Raccoon 100. I do not believe…

Day534 overflowed
What an interesting week! Where should I start? I wish I had broken this into four or five entries. There were just so much. The proposal: TWOT The number one thing I was asked if I want to run in October the Wild Oak Trail. I wrote about this in the last two posts. I…

Day533 MMT Trn2
The second training run for MMT went better than the first (Trn1). There are two more left before the race in May. This training run was a lot easier than the first one and I met quite a lot of people. MMT is one of the three signature races I will be running in 2023.…

Day531 Grindstone Training
Would my readers want to hear about my first 10K race of 2023 or hear me training for a 100 mile race? TR;DR a long post about my weekend. I ran a 10K on Sunday called For the Love of It. It has been a race I have done every year since 2017 (or at…

Day530 Holiday Lake TR (2)
Training Run – Holiday Lake When I said I will be going to Holiday Lake for a training run, my friends and family reacted in disbelief. They think it was too easy for me. Do I really need to train for a 50K? Not really but I thought the place has good trails and elevation…
