weekend [Day555]
Being a bit time crunch but I wish to get this out. MMT 100 is this coming weekend. I should be ready. There are a lot I need to do. Get my pace chart ready, dropbags prepared, and make sure I get to start. This is the race I have been looking toward since last…

Day538 10-Mile Race
I love racing. How many times have I done this one, I have no idea. At least twice. Back in 2017 and 2018, I ran every race that is available held by the local running store (Potomac Running). As I took on bigger races, I mean longer distances, like 50 mile and 100 mile races,…

Day474 Runner Block
The last 5-6 weekends, I have been running a marathon every week. Some were races and some were training runs. This weekend, I had a lot of time or maybe something inline with being lazy or simply my body crashed. I ended up not doing anything. I have been increasing my volume on my training…

Day473 Impromptu race
TL:DR; Ended up running in a nameless race overnight last weekend. The race was called 24-hr Adventure Trail Run by Athletic-Equation, but that is a generic name. My plan for the weekend was to go to the MMT race course to have one more practice after finishing the Easter Chocolate Bunny night run. But by…

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…

Day445 Fall Classic 10K
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…

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…
