MMT report [Day557]
This is one of the more difficult race reports to write. It is harder than last year when I didn’t finish the race. Basically then I said I couldn’t finish and here are the reasons why. But when things went well, what is there to say? This time, I finished. I am pleased. I am…

MMT pre race [Day556]
I have been a bit emotional as I stepped back on the MMT course the second time. I was not mad or disappointed the last time when I did not finish. I know I tried my hardest at the time. It is satisfying to be able to try it again. I have been giddy all…

weekend [Day555]
Being a bit time crunch but I wish to get this out. MMT 100 is this coming weekend. I should be ready. There are a lot I need to do. Get my pace chart ready, dropbags prepared, and make sure I get to start. This is the race I have been looking toward since last…

Last training for MMT [Day546]

Day511 no buyer’s remorse (MMT, round 2)

For me one of the most exciting and anticipating things this year and by somewhat an accident too, was signing…

Day472 MmT Tr4 Night Run
TL:DR; final shake out run before the real thing I went out to redeem myself from being kicked after 13 miles on my last training run a month ago. This time, I said I would keep with the pack and avoid the cut-off. This is the last official training (actually bonus training run) for the…

Day464 MMT TR2
MMT TR#2 was my first real training run for the Massanutten 100 race (MMT), a race that is named after a ring of mountains where some of them create one side Shenandoah valley. For us locals, I don’t think it is anything extraordinarily beautiful but I did catch occasional glimpses of the famous Shenanoah River…
