I have been doing a lot of longer runs and while they are fun, sometimes running a shorter race is a break in the routine one needs. I was originally going to go up to Philadelphia for their trail marathon race. I have been contemplating and maybe was even agonizing a little over it. Those… Continue reading Day445 Fall Classic 10K

Day434 New River
I wanted to use a cop out title Brain Dump 3 / Memory Alpha. Sorry, this is another filler post – skip it if you like. Why so many filler posts? I am lazy and have been also busy doing the same thing every day, that is to finish up the Race Back Across Tennessee… Continue reading Day434 New River
Day428 retrospect
I rarely ever was under-prepared for a race. Over prepared for one is just as shocking and my first for this Catoctin 50K. For some reason, when I signed up to run the Catoctin 50K, I signed up to only running half the distance. In the back of my mind I always thought I was… Continue reading Day428 retrospect
Day426 go go go
I have nothing to post, but going to post something any way because possibly this will be my last posting before a trip to the Smokies. As always what they say, man proposes and God disposes, one of the camp sites where I had a reservation got canceled due to bear activities. Scary. I might… Continue reading Day426 go go go
Day391 short news cycle
Lack of news because I did the Stone Mill 50 and then the Devil Dog 50K, and ran my last race of the year, I am relatively free this weekend. I was going to do the WTF 50 (course preview), a new course I found by the Virginia Happy Trail people. They are weird I… Continue reading Day391 short news cycle
Day359 random friday?
I will just leave a bunch of stuffs here. Never mind I usually do that any way. I signed up for a marathon! Not going to say it for fear of jinxing it. But yes there is a real marathon! There will be social distancing and stuff. I signed a waiver saying I won’t sue… Continue reading Day359 random friday?
Day357
I did not get into Umstead. Looking for another race to attempt. I am thinking of Rocky Raccoon or C&O Canal 100. Both races have about the same difficulty. Rocky Raccoon I can register now. Registering for C&O Canal has not opened yet. C&O is near my house and easy to get crew or pacer… Continue reading Day357
Day341 reality
I have to accept the reality that to run back across Tennessee (virtually) within two weeks is out of reach for me in my condition. I had the ambitious goal of doing 250 miles this week and another 250 miles the next. I have ‘slowly’ trying to bring my miles up from 5 miles to… Continue reading Day341 reality
Day304 feeling defeated
I am feeling a bit deflated. Maybe it is just a natural progression after a long weekend trip. I drove up to PA to meet with couple guys who were running a section of the Laurel Highlands Trail. None of the people in my group was running the whole thing that day but after I… Continue reading Day304 feeling defeated
Day302 crawling
The day is crawling by. I was caught in the rain last night. I got my move back and ran 10 miles. It started raining at mile 5 and I had to head back. I checked the forecast then and it was showing the heaven is going open up. So I took shelter in the… Continue reading Day302 crawling
