Be thankful, I say. I ran and finished the Iron Mnt Trail Race (IMTR). I did the 40 miles this time. Actually it was my first time though probably won’t be my last. I signed up for the race in 2019, but I got sick that year (caught Lyme Disease) and did not make it… Continue reading Day437 Iron Mountain trail run/race

Day356 signup
I went ahead this morning and entered my name into the lottery for Umstead 100. Even it was just a lottery, I felt the apprehension – like can I really do this? I have tried two attempts over the summer to do a 100 mile run but both ended unsucessfully. I know I could do… Continue reading Day356 signup
Day354 Race
Nothing like being in a race. I missed having the in-person race experience a lot. Yesterday, I did a race at Blue Knob Mountain in Pa. It was unbelieveble finally after six months there was a race for me to do. The announcer at the starting line asked who are doing it for the first… Continue reading Day354 Race
Day312 The Crunch
I am feeling the crunch, but things are happening. Wheels started spinning as I am in the final preparation. Final? No, more like finally getting my crap together. Things are taking shape. I had the maps printed out. 20+ pages of them. These are in addition to the paper map I brought. I have been… Continue reading Day312 The Crunch
why I run
Day 246: I need some motivation to get me through this hump. I have been floored by many cancelations of events due to the COVID-19. When it is about other people’s races, I didn’t really care but when it is about my race, it’s personal! Last few days one after another, my races are dropping… Continue reading why I run
Let get the show on
Day 237 / weekend It is almost a typical weekend, all peaceful and calm before the storm. COVID19 is getting everyone on their nerve in the US. As a runner, I am kind of nervous since I signed up many races months beforehand and would not like any of them to be canceled. While watching… Continue reading Let get the show on
ahh, money and races
Day 232 My tax refund is back and woohoo I celebrated by signing up races. It couldn’t come at a better time because I was so broke this week and wept about not able to sign up a race for this weekend. Race#1 POT OF GOLD. Then a miracle! I saw the money in the… Continue reading ahh, money and races

Day 223 This post might be more a pile of things throw in together. After my group run last night, I was able to catch up with a group of running friends I have not seen for a while. We were excited sharing what have been happening and what our ‘running’ plan for this year.… Continue reading keep going

Day 193 As there is only one more race left this year, I started thinking ahead of what races I will do next year. There are couple that were deferred from this year to the next. There are many new ones I want to do. Richmond Marathon is one that is calling my heart at… Continue reading Race schedule
