I was fortunate to take part in the Rim to River 100 at the New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia of their second year race. Monday quarterbacking – Of course I could still have done better, such as be more efficient at the aid stations. I noticed many people I was able pass… Continue reading Day449 Rim to River 100

Day441 Eau Claire Marathon
That was the Eighth marathon-state and 42 more states to go. If I count the Rocky Raccoon I ran in February in Texas, it would be the nineth. Rocky Raccoon was an ultra marathon, and it is not the same as a normal marathon. When I run a normal marathon I feel I am fast… Continue reading Day441 Eau Claire Marathon
Day438 Lake Ridge 12 hrs Run
Call it a lack of discipline on my part when I signed up for a race I know I shouldn’t since it was so close to my marathon date. But I am an addict to running, I confess. I had a free weekend and it felt weird of not running in something officially sounding event.… Continue reading Day438 Lake Ridge 12 hrs Run
Day404 the big one / Rocky Raccoon 100
I really don’t know how I pulled off this one to run and finish the Rocky Raccoon 100. But yay, I did finish. It was the coolest race I did. Long but top of the line race support and community. People of Texas put up an amazing race. 1. The race is noobish friendly. I… Continue reading Day404 the big one / Rocky Raccoon 100
day254 – virtual run#2
Day 254 race report “Centreville Marathon” I used my first virtual run I ran on March 21 for the Maine Coast Marathon. I didn’t post about it but I think on Tuesday, I got an email from the race organizer about the race being canceled. Not a surprise at all after getting so many of… Continue reading day254 – virtual run#2
POT OF GOLD 10K
Day 234 / Race Report Not sure when is Shamrock Day but Happy Leprechaun! I am grateful to finally run it – the Pot of Gold 10K. It was a great day. Cold. I think it was 26/28 F (not sure about temp in Celcius, mayby -1 or -2) when we started. It got warmer… Continue reading POT OF GOLD 10K
JFK race report
Day 198 / First 50 Miler / Long Post It has been two years in the making. The race was within my expectation. I was (well) prepared and finished the race within my expected time. It was long but was not too hard. I was feeling great throughout the race. We had near perfect fall… Continue reading JFK race report
epilogue
Day 192 Old Glory Ultra pet peeve. I just found out I mis-numbered my blog posts and so I went back to the last 20+ entries and corrected them. I screwed that up big time. It is my pet peeve if the number is not in sequence after discovery. I just did the old glory… Continue reading epilogue
MCM no. 44
Day 186 race report I woke up the morning of the race at around 3 AM, having slept maybe 5 hours. Originally I set my alarm for 5 AM, but I felt I needed more time to prepare. The night before, I was too tired to pack my things after coming back from a hiking… Continue reading MCM no. 44
Baltimore Marathon
Day 183 / race report First off, this is a good race to run. It was beyond my initial impression. Baltimore surprisingly is beautiful. I signed up for this race last year immediately the day after they held it. It was my plan/goal to do the king crab challenging, which was to run three races:… Continue reading Baltimore Marathon
