Even before I started out for the run I was not sure if I would finish tonight. I had only 16.5 miles left, which is a 0.5 mile less than the previous day, but it was not an easy 16 miler. The original plan was to split the run into two, a morning 5-6 miles… Continue reading Day307 1000k done

day283 run
I was trying to run a bit farther yesterday, but my body gave out after 6 miles. I have been conditioning to do 6 miles every day and yesterday it bonkered on me after 6 miles. I dragged it out to 12. It was hot even at 6 pm! Last weekend I was freezing and… Continue reading day283 run
Day276 the other side
total 7. GVRAT total 83 I thought it would be a quick one. I had on road shoes today instead of trail. For six days I wore trail shoes (my usual get to), but I have been running on road (sidewalks). So today, I said why not switch it up, let wear the road shoes… Continue reading Day276 the other side

day274 run and rocket
run 6 mi; GVRAT: lost count ~70 I think Today run was in no way easy.

I am no longer a morning… Continue reading day274 run and rocket

day270 here I go – rat race
run1 – 6 miles this run. Total traveled for GVRAT so far 6 miles. I found myself something to rally around for next few months. When my Facebook notification popped up from one of my former race directors – with something like this: would you like to run across Tennessee? At first I was skeptical.… Continue reading day270 here I go – rat race
