Insanity Archive
A few days later….
So I have had a few days to rest, recover and reflect on the Rocky Raccoon Extravaganza. I am not going to lie and say I have been rethinking everything I did and did not do. Many, many times since I started the drive home Sunday I have thought that…
The Final Countdown
It’s here. The clock is ticking faster. The train is barreling down the tracks. The end is near. On Saturday morning at 6:00 AM, I will head out into the woods with 399 other runners for the start of the Rocky Raccoon 100 mile trail run. I’m not going to…
100 Bottles of Beer

Walls
There are little walls. There are big walls. And then there are monster walls. I don’t like any of them, but they all need to be scaled or torn down on a regular basis. If you are a runner or know about running, you have probably heard of people hitting…
20 Questions with Timbeaux
I decided to do an interview with Timbeaux to get some insight into the rationale behind some of his stupidity. 1. Me: Why are you called Timbeaux? Timbeaux: That goes back many years to junior high or high school. My good friend, Jeff Kearns, and I would always answer the…
40 Miles Going Nowhere
I have mentioned many times how envious I am of those who live in trail running areas. I listen to podcasts and read blogs about people who wake up, walk out their door and end up on some mountainous trails or scenic area. I have asphalt and cows when I…
