Here is a big post. A fellow runner Greg, who ran this did a video. He gave a better description of the course better than me. — With couple (decently hard) ultras under my belt, Rock ‘N the Knob was not an impossible race, though this one literally knocked the air out of me. I… Continue reading Day440 Rock ‘N the Knob Marathon

Day367 Gettysburg Marathon
What an exciting day. I drove up to Pennsylvania and ran the Gettysburg Marathon. I don’t like running in the cold but with a marathon, I toughed it out and ditched my sweater and pants and ran in short sleeves. We are talking about 35-40 F degree here. By 8 am the temperature warmed up… Continue reading Day367 Gettysburg Marathon
Day316 100 mile review
There were a lot of things went well and I also made a lot of newbie mistakes. In the end I did not finish. The 100 mile run is not easy. They say running a 100 miles is to overcome issues that crop up along the way. To finish you have to overcome those. Some… Continue reading Day316 100 mile review
day 257 virtual run#3
This weekend was originally planned to be a trip to Laurel Highlands in PA, Trip#3 to Pennsylvania, but with the stay at home order from our governor, it is not wise to run about. I am sure people of Pennsylvania would not be trilled to have me there either. Their trooper/park ranger might give me… Continue reading day 257 virtual run#3

Day 214 OK OK. I flew to Boston to pick up a milkshake and then finally got to San Diego. It was a lay-over because of the cheap ticket. I love Jet Blue. I have been flying American, United and Delta. Recently the last few trips have been with Delta, but Jet Blue is above… Continue reading traveling time

Day 174 I just finished a marathon today. I will do another tomorrow. I will write more on this in another post of how people do or more marathons without rest. Back-to-back marathon is not too hard a thing to do. I found a secret. I did Altis Cross County Marathon. It is a small… Continue reading double marathon coming up
Mountain boys
Day 172 I will try to make this short. My race report usually goes on and on. The past weekend, I went to West Virginia and did the Morgantown Marathon. Boy, was it hard. To compare to previous marathons I ran, this was an ultra level marathon. I was knock out by mile 19. I… Continue reading Mountain boys

Day 146 – full race report (Jack and Jill) The marathon course by itself is one worth seeing. The course started from Hyak (aka Snoqualmie Pass, which is not near the Snoqualmie forest at all) and ended in North Bend. North Bend is about 45 minutes away from Seattle. The course is point to point,… Continue reading Reflection
