Laurel Highlands 70M Preview

June 9, 2021

Finally. I was signed up to run this race last year, however wasn’t able to because – well, COVID. The truth though is I’ve been waiting to run this race for much, much longer. It wasn’t too long after I got into running about 9 years ago that I learned about ultras. I was intrigued…

RIP Salming Trail T2s

January 30, 2021

First run: 12/1/18 Last run: 1/30/21 Total runs: 147 Total miles: 1,101 I got more miles out of these shoes than any other that I’ve owned. They probably should have been retired a couple hundred miles ago, but they weren’t bothering my feet too much so I kept them in the rotation. Today’s run put…

Love the Process

January 3, 2021

My alarm went off at 6am this morning and I really didn’t want to get up. During the week, I’m usually up and awake by then, however I like to catch up on my ZZZZs on the weekend and sleep in. It didn’t help that I tossed and turned all night long for some reason.…

Wait for it. . .

November 29, 2020

I’m now fully immersed in my off season if my bathroom scale is any indication. I had been going pretty much non-stop since last November so it’s past time for me to dial back the miles and sleep in more often. I don’t necessarily think I was too close to overdoing things, but you never…

Chasing 10k Update

October 3, 2020

A number of years ago now, I had this idea that turned into a goal which has morphed into an obsession. That being to finish a hundred 100 mile races (100×100=10k). It was a completely delusional idea since at the time I had never even finished an ultra marathon let alone a hundred mile race.…

Intermission

September 27, 2020

It’s time for a break. Not a long one. And not really from running as I still plan on getting out every day. More just a temporary hiatus from the mentality of training. My next race (NJ Devil 100) was cancelled and now I don’t have anything on my calendar until Stone Mill 50 in…

FAQ: Can I Finish an Ultra?

August 16, 2020

I’m on Reddit’s r/ultrarunning regularly and it seems like not a week goes by that someone does ask a question along these lines. Typically, it’s someone relatively new and wants to know whether they can finish a 50k, 100 miler, or whatever race they’ve got their eye on. It’s a pretty supportive group on there…

A Shift In How I Approach Racing

July 19, 2020

My last race really highlighted to me how much my approach to racing has changed over the years. I still enjoy racing as much as I ever have. It’s just that the focus has shifted. When I started out, my goal was to run and complete the race as quickly as possible. I mean, it’s…

Running Long Since . . .

June 7, 2020

It’s funny. When I started this blog back in 2015, I threw “running long since 2013” in my header as a warning to readers. Caveat emptor. I wanted to pass along my experiences and things that I was learning about ultras, but I wanted to be clear that no one should consider me an expert.…

Escaping a Funk: Part 2

May 6, 2020

In order to snap myself out of my self-quarantined rut, I’ve started to add a little spice to my life. My first step was to start up an exercise challenge for the month of May: 1,000 pull-ups and 2,000 push-ups. I’m almost a week in now and while I’m a little sore, I’m still on…
