I loved this race so much last year, I’m heading back for 32 more trips around Killen’s Pond State Park in Felton, DE. This race is structured as a fatass so there’s virtually no aid provided. The entry fee ($50?!?!) goes toward the permit to allow us access to the park overnight and a belt…
Welcome To The Off Season
I was supposed to be running a hundred miles today (Angela Ivory Memorial Runs), but mother nature had other plans. This is now the fifth race that I’ve had cancelled on me (Eastern States 2x, Vermont, Viaduct) and the third in three years. This works out to 5%+ of my ultras overall and 10%+ within…
Working On My Social Skillz
I’m a solitary runner by nature. As a self-diagnosed introvert, I do better by myself than in group settings. This isn’t to suggest that I can’t deal with others. I can play nice with other kids. Most days. Given the option though, I’d rather sit at home with a good book than go to a…
2025 DUV Ranks
I’ve started using Deutsche Ultramarathon Vereinigung as an ultra reference site. They have a ranking system based on ultra race mileage that can be broken down based on country, year, and male/female. They have me down for an even 1,000 miles raced in 2025 (C2C was 232 not 200 but whatevs) which has me ranked:…
2026 Race Calendar
I should probably start with a disclaimer that the below race schedule is only possible due to my extensive history. I would not recommend either the quantity or distances for those who are just starting out. Races in bold are ones I’m definitely going to do. The others are probably 50/50 propositions at this point.…
Bouncing Soles Shoutout
I’ve just read the most amazing article by Patrick Durante over at Bouncing Soles and had to share. I’ve run into him a number of times over the years (no, not literally) and always enjoy his thoughts on his running. He also creates race videos that are always must watch content. I recommend you read…
On A Heater (Chashing10K Update)
I don’t provide many updates on my quest to finish a hundred 100 mile races (100 x 100 = 10,000 = 10k). My last one was over 2 years ago when I reached #25. Well, only a short 24 months later and DD100 was #40 overall and #9 on the year. When I started, I…
2025 Devil Dog 100 Mile Race Report
Devil Dog offers three distance options (100M, 100K, 50K) on a 20ish mile loop in Prince William Forest Park. The elevation gain/loss of 10,500 feet for the 100 Milers is on mostly non-technical trails, however the technical sections while short can be rather annoying. The race organization and volunteer support are top notch. The race…
2025 Devil Dog 100 Mile Preview
I’m heading back to Virginia this weekend for my fourth Devil Dog 100M. This will be more attempts for me than any other hundred outside of my beloved Eastern States. Given this fact, you would be forgiven for thinking this is one of my favorite races. In reality, it comes in as my 15th favorite…
How I Think About The Chasing10K Brand
Don’t fear, I’m not about to go all Run Influencer on you. As a content creator though, I believe it’s important to periodically think about what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, and most importantly why I’m doing it. It was ten years ago on Thanksgiving that I registered this website and published my first…
