Call it a lack of discipline on my part when I signed up for a race I know I shouldn’t since it was so close to my marathon date. But I am an addict to running, I confess. I had a free weekend and it felt weird of not running in something officially sounding event.… Continue reading Day438 Lake Ridge 12 hrs Run

Day437 Iron Mountain trail run/race
Be thankful, I say. I ran and finished the Iron Mnt Trail Race (IMTR). I did the 40 miles this time. Actually it was my first time though probably won’t be my last. I signed up for the race in 2019, but I got sick that year (caught Lyme Disease) and did not make it… Continue reading Day437 Iron Mountain trail run/race
Day436 Moonlight Marathon
Blackwater Falls – The sunset had set and moon had not risen yet. It was a bit cloudy and the forecast was 10% chance of rain. The breezes were nice after couple weeks of extreme hot whether. I felt a few drops of rain but the atmosphere was like any big marathon. There were 700… Continue reading Day436 Moonlight Marathon
Day435 ACE Resort Half Marathon Part 2 and more
Continuing from last week blog, I went to Thurmond, WV, and ran the inaugural New River Gorge Half Marathon Trail Run. I think that what it was called or it could be ACE Adventure Resort Half Marathon since the whole course was on their property and we had a free night of camping. I went… Continue reading Day435 ACE Resort Half Marathon Part 2 and more
Day433 brain dump2
I had some ideas earlier this morning how I should write. Unfortunately, I can’t recall them. I enjoyed my runs. I have been doing some big runs/walks to finish the Virtual Race (Back) Across Tennessee. There are about 250 miles left, and I’m kind of on target to finish (ETA 9/5). I have to finish… Continue reading Day433 brain dump2
Day432 mind dump
I used to post every day but have switched to weekly posting. Why? Less for readers to follow and read. I like to write about my runs. I had good run each day. They seem mundane but each one is special to me. Something I love to blog about but I think my readers might… Continue reading Day432 mind dump
Day430 rest and plan
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
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
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
