Streak EARTH
After the success of January's "Streak" competition, we planned a second for the month of March. However, so few opted to give it a whirl that we cancelled the competition all together. So now, on the doorstep of the month of April, we're going to try it again. As we all know, April is the Month for the Earth with Earth Day being the main focus. This streak is going to coincide with the ideals of Earth Day and how we as runners can do our part to help tidy up. As the snow continues to melt in...
Updated Plans
Been a while since I posted. Summer has been mostly uneventful with training. I ran the Grandfather Mountain Marathon a couple of weeks back and did okay. I was pretty busy the week leading up to the race and was pretty tired. I didn't sleep very well the night before or in the days leading up to the race. Next up is the Laurel Valley Whitewater Run on August 14. This will be my fourth year and I am hoping to run my best time there. I am also doing the The Ring on September 4. This is...
Training Update and Laurel Valley Preview
Training has been terrific the last couple of weeks. I have made a couple of trips up to Black Mountain to run and hope to do so at least every couple;e of weeks to get ready for Grindstone. Last week I had an awesome run up to the summit of Graybeard Mountain (about 5600 feet) - a pretty tall peak for the east coast. Lots and lots of climbing mixed in with some awesome ridge running. The heat has been oppressive the last couple of weeks but I am managing. Temperatures aren't that bad...
Fun Times at Laurel Valley
This was my fourth running of the Laurel Valley Whitewater Run. It has become a tradition for me to mark the end of summer by participating in this run. After four runnings, I finally feel like I "know" the course. This is a very difficult race with no access so you must carry everything you eat and drink from the many streams along the course. This makes the race much tougher mentally for me because it is harder to "break" it up into sections. Not to mention, I (and most others) generally...
Training Update
Training has been going really well since Laurel Valley. I was recovered enough that I got a 18 mile trail run in on the Thursday post-race. It is a loop course near my house and I was able to negative split three loops - a first for me. The heat was pretty oppressive but fortunately, this late in the summer I am pretty used to it. I did a 35 mile or so run this week over at Crowder's Mountain State Park. I ran a good route that has a good mix of rugged sections mixed in with flatter...
Ready to Roll!
Well, I am officially tapering for Grindstone now. I am excited that the training is over since that means the race is near. However, I find myself already yearning for rugged mountain runs - hopefully a good sign. I have had a very solid final stretch of training. I did about 40 miles at the Massanutten Ring. I pulled the plug due to some issues I was having and was unsure how to deal with them. So, I took the safe course - SMART! I still got a very quality run in on a near perfect day for...
Grindstone 100 - Preview
I am really excited... like pinging off the walls excited. This weekend I am running the Grindstone 100 up in Virginia. For those of you other than the 5 people that regularly read this blog, the only other 100 mile race...
Grinding My Stones at the Grindstone 100
What an awesome (and tough) race! I am finally getting some time to write a report on my experience at Grindstone three weeks ago! It was a wonderful event although I suffered mightily. However, despite the race not going as planned/hoped, in the end I still learned some valuable lessons and got my fourth 100 mile finish.Grindstone is relatively new with the 2010 running being only the third year. The race is somewhat unique in that it begins on Friday evening, ensuring every runner gets at...
Update
Hope everyone is enjoying fall. I have been pretty "under the radar" since Grindstone. Partly, I wanted to take a bit of a break but it also has been very busy at work and with life in general. I have enjoyed running nonchalantly for the last month or so but am anxious to start training for races in 2011. For the remainder of 2010, I am going to hit the trails as often as possible and continue building up my base for next year. No races left other than running in a pace group for the...
2011
I have been thinking about 2011 a lot the last couple of weeks. There are a lot of things I hope to accomplish running wise and it is very motivating to start putting plans in place. I did not get selected in the Massanutten lottery but am high enough on the wait list that I will likely get the opportunity to run the race. I also entered the lottery for Hardrock and much of my race schedule will hinge on the outcome of that. For instance, should I get into Hardrock, I will likely not do...
