2022 So far and plans

2022 is off and running. I have run 2 road marathons.

Wilmington, North Carolina and St. louis, Missouri.

My next race is a 50k trail race in May. 

Training is shifting to more of a trail focus.

Another road marathon is planned in September in 

South Dakota.

Finishing the year with a 50 mile trail race in Moab,

Utah. Dead Horse Ultra November, 19th. 

Barr Trail

Yesterday was another run up Barr Trail. I went 1 mile past Barr Camp. Still some good snow past 

Barr Camp. It snowed more yesterday afternoon so I'm sure it's even more snow up there today. 

Not sure when I will be able to get high altitude training in. So much snow this year.

I ran pretty solid on the up hit Barr Camp at 1:28:33. Time is slowly improving. I have work to 

do before August 21. My goal is very aggressive. I don't want to put it out there but it's well under 

3 hours. 

I'm 50 this year so I'm really excited to run in a new age bracket. Plus I haven't raced since 2018. 

I will run BTMR in July. That should be a great rust buster. 

Big week on tap shooting for 65 miles. 

Running update

 So 2021 has been going well. I have gotten back to consistency. I have strung several 50 mile weeks.

This past week was my biggest week to date 61 miles. I'm trying to get most of my miles on trails.

I have several trail races this year and end it with a road marathon. My first race will be the Barr Trail

Mountain Race in July. Recently I got off the wait list for the Run Rabbit 50 mile race. I'm very

excited to do a ultra distance race again. 2022 I'm looking for a 100 mile race in the fall I'm thinking. 

That's all for now.

Keep 'er movin' 

2021 Running

 First post of 2021!

I have been running consistent again since November 2020. I haven't run much the last few years. I'm getting back at it. I am currently training specifically for Pikes Peak Ascent. I also signed up for Barr Trail Mountain Race. Other races planned include a 50 mile trail run and a road marathon in December. 

Life has changed some career wise. I no longer work for the man. I have gone out on my own doing wood working. If you want to see some of my work it's on my facebook page Wood Art Designs. This has been the best decision ever. I enjoy getting up every day now. Also I have way more flexibility for running!

I will try and post more often. Thanks for stopping by.
