Many thanks to Running Wild and everyone who has supported my journey! The book signing was a great event and it was so great seeing all my friends (old and new), my family and everyone else!
For anyone who missed it and wants to listen to my speech, I have included a video of it here.
I finished my 100th marathon today within 10 years since my first. It was awesome and great joining the Running Wild party bus to pace the 4:30 marathon pace. So glad that everyone in the marathon training group finished. Surprised and so happy to see everyone from previous pacing that came and supported my 100th marathon today.
Finished Long Haul 100 with a Sub 24 hour finishing time. This was my personal best for a 100 miler and I got the special green belt buckle since I completed the 100 miler in less than 24 hours. The route was flat but miserable due to the storms that hit the days leading up to the race which made a large amount of the route to be extremely muddy and wet.
My MRI came back with good results. I took a picture of the comparison since one year ago. To celebrate, I started a hiking a new trailhead nearby and realized it connects to the Ride Rail trail out to Alachua Sinkhole so I decided to run out that way.
Great trails that were well maintained. We saw two different groups of hogs and friendly deer. The hogs are really tearing up the trail. I want a bacon biscuit now.
I needed to get some distance in so I ran the Seafood 50k instead of just doing the Seafood 5k. Pensacola Runners Association always put on great post-race parties with food and drinks.
Finished the Wildcat 100 miler earlier today. My 9th 100 miler completed and that makes 96 marathons.in less than 10 years. This one definitely had the most pain of all of them as the chafing and blisters were crazy.
Finished marathon #95 yesterday with the Bryce Canyon 50 miler in Utah. Mountains, hoodoos, snow and amazing views. It was a race I’ve been trying to get to for years and it did not disappoint.
Finished marathon #94 with a run from East Hill out to the end of the pier at Pensacola Beach and back through Gulf Breeze. Saw family, friends and amazing views.
Finished marathon #93 today at the Lake Martin 100 (8th 100 miler completed). This was definitely an epic race due to the weather conditions that attacked us throughout the night and next day!
Forgot my watch so I used Strava on my phone. Then my phone died so the more accurate info is on Marks run.
Training for Lake Martin 100 and came across a family carrying pythons down the street. Obviously, I had to stop and take some pictures.
Finished marathon #90 today in 30a at the In the Woods 50k. It got hot but I placed 3rd in my age group. It was great seeing everyone and also making new friends. It was great talking to ultra legend Harvey Lewis – Ultra Runner and his wife about some of their favorite races and […]
Finished my 89th marathon run at the UWF Trails. It started off with a cool morning and started heating up halfway through.
Last weekend I finished the Rocky Raccoon 100 miler in Texas (north of Houston) with a time of 26:44:52. This was my 7th 100 miler completed and my 88th marathon I’ve completed since my first marathon I completed 9 years ago.
Time to rest my legs for Rocky Raccoon next weekend!
Finished Long Haul 100 miler with a time of 25:10:03. Wished I hadn’t been sick this past week, but at least I felt good enough on race day. The back of my jacket had ice on it when I finished.
Ran the Eglin trails again with some of the crop dusters. Always good running with them. We even got to go on a boat ride once again.
