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…

Day520 Devil Dog RP
Race Report – Devil Dog, a 100 mile trail race, took place December 3-4, 2022, just outside of DC in Triangle, Virginia. I finished in 31 hours. Originally, I was hoping to do it in 28-29 hours. For comparison, the first place winner finished in around 20:08 hours. (Tara Dower from Virginia Beach broke the…

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…

Day518 Devil Dog – Pre
Just a quick post to hype up my coming weekend run, the Devil Dog 100. It’s a hundred mile run. Ya. I only attempted like 6 times and succeeded twice. A low success rate. Am I ready? I am ready as I ever will be. I felt I am much stronger this year. I had…

Day517 Turkey Trot / NCR
TL;DR – I ran a local 4 mile race on Thanksgiving and over the weekend did a marathon. They are thanksgiving related or happened about the same time frame so two race reports in one. I have done this Fairfax Turkey Trot charity race a few times and yes every time it was freezing cold.…

Day516 Thanksgiving

Day515 JFK Race Report
TL;DR – Race Report for JFK. 2nd time running it “Let us run the race set out for us with perserverance” The quote was much an encouragement in my race, which was especially a very long race that went from sun up to sun down. There were plenty of time for me in solitude pondering…

Day514 Wrapping it up / Stone Mill 50 RP
Stone Mill 50 mile race brings a close to my fall training season. It has been fun and a lot of grinding the past 10 weeks to get here. I know there are still four more weeks of fall, but weather is getter too cold for me to see that as fall. The fun of…

Day513 Secrets
TL;DR – ranting of a busy race schedule Things are kind of out of order. This post comes before my Stone Mill report. I tried to keep my November schedule simple but things are getting complicated. Not due to any outside factors but completely this is my own doing. You see, I got a couple…

Day512 long format runs
I was just thinking while showering, why I run 100 miles. This has been explored before. I can’t think of the post and too lazy to search, but I am sure I talked/wrote about this probably in one of my race reports, e.g. SM-2021. Intetestingly, here now on the eve of another Stone Mill Run,…
