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.…

Day501 Ann Arbor Marathon
TLDR – 10th state completed. I enjoyed my weekend stay in Ann Arbor, Michigan, brief as it was. I was nervous when I arrived on Friday in Detroit, Michigan. This is a cold place. Though I run well when it is nippy, I don’t like the cold. I packed a bunch of sweaters and long…

Day499 Ann Arbor
I am on my way to Michigan for the Ann Arbor Marathon. This will be my 10th state. I am excited. This is not one of the races that has been in planning for a long time. I only wanted to go to Ann Arbor recently maybe a couple months ago. I made it happened.…

Day496 Schedule
It’s that time again, to pick what races will I be doing for next year. Scheduling is so hard. Since when I started running, I always wish I have an event coordinator because I hate making plans. I like planning (or having one), I just don’t like choices I need to make. I usually end…

Something
Day 213 Finally I did a couple short runs last week. That was monumental. All thanks to my running group. I finally got myself out of the door. It was good to be back on a regular schedule. I was glad to see familiar faces and some new faces in my running group. up and…

Back to reality
Day 208 I’m back from my short vacation to Chile just in time to be home for Christmas. I saw a lot of things and ate well and slept well. The trip was well worth it. I was lucky to be part of the journey. Before I was able to board the plane, many things…

Going places
Day 205 This post is hard for me to write. For some people (like my hiking friend), they love traveling. For me, I have such a fear, stressful/worrying kind of fear of going to places, no matter if it is local or is far away. I am content to stay at home. I know a…
