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
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
Day419 Grayson Highlands 50
Why running this race? The race promised a course that is beautiful, hard, and they have ponies! It was definitely hard even with long cutoffs and a shortened course. The beauty of the place does make up for the hard run. I love mountains. I love the view. I got to see the highland from… Continue reading Day419 Grayson Highlands 50
Day415 breaks
I’m taking it easier this week. Following some of my readers advices, I took couple days off running until the pain in my feet went away. I maybe am burning out. Maybe I should take a month or two off from running. Sike. I’m hyped on so many things this coming summer, like with a… Continue reading Day415 breaks
Day411 Seneca 50K / 2021
This was my second year running the Seneca 50K. I volunteed in 2019 and ran it last year at the beginning of the pandemic in our area. We were sitting on the edge whether we would have all the permits required for the in-person race. This year we had wave start at around 10 people… Continue reading Day411 Seneca 50K / 2021
Day407 recovery
Almost two weeks now, recovery from the hundred mile run is still going slowly. Immediately after the race, I could hardly walk. I slept for an hour or so before going back to the hotel that day. I then slept for the next 8 hours or so. There was no running the following day. Besides,… Continue reading Day407 recovery
Day406 What now
Now what? I don’t know. Run some more I guess. I started running at the end of summer 2016. I always have been running since a boy, but it was all for fun. I had no real training. I just put on the pair of shoes and ran around my neighborhood. I had couple friends… Continue reading Day406 What now
Day404 the big one / Rocky Raccoon 100
I really don’t know how I pulled off this one to run and finish the Rocky Raccoon 100. But yay, I did finish. It was the coolest race I did. Long but top of the line race support and community. People of Texas put up an amazing race. 1. The race is noobish friendly. I… Continue reading Day404 the big one / Rocky Raccoon 100
