Day523 2022 race recap
I wrote up a list of all my races this year after running Naked Nick 50K, though I felt that entry did not do the justice. Here goes a 2nd round. 100 mile: Massanutten 100 – May 14. Reached mile 95 but couldn’t finish it, mainly due to time management issue in the mid/late stage…

Day521 I’m ok / 2022 race recap
I have been recovering well the last two weeks. I just have nothing to blog about. I was thinking of doing some kind of highlight reel of my 2022, so here it is. It is also a time to pause, meaning what am I doing next. I know I have a bunch of races for…

Day496 Schedule
It’s that time again, to pick what races will I be doing for next year. Scheduling is so hard. Since when I started running, I always wish I have an event coordinator because I hate making plans. I like planning (or having one), I just don’t like choices I need to make. I usually end…

Day397 Top 10
I am a bit vain this year to do a top 10 of 2020 of my runs. 2020 compares to 2019, let’s see. 2019 had tons of going on. I ran my first 50 miler plus going to Chile afterward for Patagonia and did many other stuffs. Thought can’t top that, can I? But 2020…

Day327 MCM canceled
It is official. There won’t be a Marine Corps Marathon this year. Not disappointed at all since this has been the pattern of last four months. Kind of expecting it because MCM is a big event and there is no way to host any race over 500 people people in this period much less the…

Day319 Back to normal
Things are back to normal for me. I am scratching my head what to write. I have not started back on my regular run. I should be able to run. I feel healthy. 100M /100K, did not sap me of my strength. At least, I don’t think it was that damaging to my body. I…

Turkey Trot
Day 199 misc Some of friends asked me to show them my medals from races. Here are the couple recent ones. Not all races give all medals. I think it is less frequent for ultra to give them out. MCM and JFK are exceptional. I actually have too many medals from my marathons. I prefer…

Two for one
Day 123 / York & St Michaels I did a half marathon and a full marathon in one weekend. It was amazing. Looking back it doesn’t seem that hard because I have done hikes at that length over a weekend, but I was fearful when I signed up. Granted hiking and running is not the…
