Day531 Grindstone Training
Would my readers want to hear about my first 10K race of 2023 or hear me training for a 100 mile race? TR;DR a long post about my weekend. I ran a 10K on Sunday called For the Love of It. It has been a race I have done every year since 2017 (or at…

Day529 BRR Training 1
Bull Run Run Training 1. BRR training started a week after the MMT training run. I did both sets of training last year and doing them again this year. The only difference this time is I will be running in the BRR (actual race) this year. Last year, I only did the training runs but…

Day509 TR4 – Halloween
What a weekend! In a bad way. I worked over this weekend so i’m kind of dead (a zombie) now. There’s no partying for me tonight. Certainly absolutely there was no party over the weekend. I’m boring. My mom wanted to kipnap me to celebrate my birthday, but I escaped. Oh there was the MCM,…

Day505 Stone Mill TR2
Stone Mill 2nd Training Run. For those who like to compare what it was like last year, I was able to find the last year entry (SM TR21, day445). I have nothing much to write about since I am grounded. No, I mean I have no where to go and it felt like being grounded.…

Day489 Training week 3

Day488 Training week 2
The next four weeks between now and until IMTR (my race), there is going to be very little activity except for training. This year, I have hard time with finding motivation to train. I know training is necessary. I’m not a prodigy with natural running talent. Some people, if they are young can just go…

Day487 Imtr run#1
Iron Mountain Trail Run (IMTR) is a 50 mile race in Damascus, Virginia. This year I put on my big pants and said why not, lets run this 50 mile. There are other options like 40 mile, 30 mile and 16 mile event. The 40-mile was too easy for me last year, but 50-mile might…

Day471 BRR volunteering and Easter
The Bull Run 50 mile Race, took place last weekend. At the last minute, they reopened their registration, however, I already had other plans especially since I signed up to volunteer at one of their aid stations. It would be bad karma to promise to serve and then go back on my words. This BROT…

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…
