From Couch to 5K to Ironman to Ultramarathons
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 get into my current emotional… [Continue Reading]
I was listening to a podcast recently and they were discussing the beer mile. For those who are not runners or who do run and are not insane, a beer mile is an official event where you run 4 laps around a track (1/4 mile each) and consume a beer each lap. If you throw… [Continue Reading]

We are back into the school/swim routine, so this afternoon I brought Mason to swim. His practice usually lasts about 2 hours so that is plenty of time for me to run. After dropping him off, I grabbed my Garmin and my bottles and headed out for 8-10 miles. Things were going okay until about… [Continue Reading]
