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…

Toronto Marathon [Day554]
It was an exciting trip and a big race for me. I like it just because Toronto is a great city. Granted I didn’t explore much but just the area near my hotel, the place seems orderly and unlike many places in the US. It has been many years, might have been like 24 years…

Roanoke Double Marathon [Day551]
It was a novelty when I ran the Blue Ridge Marathon in 2019. It was known as America hardest road marathon, the footlevelers, with 7000 ft of total elevation (gain and lost). I finished in 4:45 and I thought I was slow because I had expected myself to finish under 4:30 or less. Now four…

Bull Run Run 50 [Day548]
I wanted to run Bull Run Run 50 Miler for many years, possibly since 2018 and maybe as early as 2017 when I found out about the Virginia Trail Running Club, my local area running club. However, back then I did not know how hard trail running was or the distance and when I did,…

snow! [Day539]
Maybe it was the last snow this winter. Nothing sticked but was still exciting. It snowed in the middle of the night. I was afraid the next day our 50K run would be canceled. Last year, in similar condition, the race was canceled for fear our runners would ruin the trail. Every year since the…

Day536 Cowtown Marathon / 50K
I flew into Dallas/Fort Worth last week. I was primarily there to run the Cowtown Marathon. This trip was in planning over a year. I had my eyes to cross out Texas as one of the 50 states marathon. I have been to Texas in 2021, doing the Rocky Raccoon 100. I do not believe…

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…

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.…

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…

Day508 Atlantic City Marathon and TR3
Race Recap: NJ Marathon, 11th state. One last far away trip for this year. I ran surprising fast. Maybe couple months ago, I heard of Atlantic City Marathon from Vanessa on SheRunsByTheSeashore. I got a promo code from the blog and signed up. New Jersey is a new state for me and it is also…
