Doggone Tired 10 Mile Trail Run 10.27.18

Been a long time since I blogged about a trail race but yesterday I finished my first race of any significant distance in about 2 years. This was a very small race held to benefit the hungry. I ran the 10 mile version which was one loop but there was also a 50K option. There were only 7 of us running the 10 mile so I declare myself Age Group Winner!!! Here are some pictures of the beautiful day.

Beverly Park Trail Run 11.12.17

Somehow I thought this would be a good idea. Running only my second race of the year and running for the first time since my other race in April. Oh and the day after A GoRuck. Was a good race, a great event and right next to my house.

Red Shamrock Trail Run 4.1.2017

3.4 miles 58:02. Strong effort for being sick and not running in months.

Schuetzen Nein Hour Endurance Run

I had been wanting to do a timed ultra event for awhile. This race was local, in a cool venue and the RD was the ever diabolical Joshua Sun. Josh puts on great races with awesome atmosphere but they are never easy. This one was no different. Continuous .85 mile loop in which you were going up or going down. No real flat spots to speak of. But the park was beautiful and the day was hot!! Did I mention it was Africa hot? You can see in my split times as the heat and hills started grinding away at my endurance. Like being eaten to death by a thousand gold fish. I pulled the plug at about 4 hours and 16 loops due to some cramping issues. I did get in a half marathon and a good day on the trails. Next year I get in more!!
