Finished marathon run #108 today while pacing the 4:45 group at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon. Official finish time was 4:44:43 so we finished right where we wanted to. It was great seeing friends and making new ones during the race.
Had a good run for Caleb’s birthday run. They’re faster than me so I started a little earlier. Things started getting hot once I was got to the last 4-5 miles. I forgot to restart my watch and missed a mile.
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.
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.
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.
Ran with Mark to get some distance in. Hit the Eglin Trails and got to go by some of my favorite spots on the the trails there.
Finished marathon run #83 today so now it’s time to taper down for Long Haul. It’s near Tampa so hopefully Shands Hospital will be able to squeeze me in for my appointments when I pass through there on my way back home. I was supposed to do the Louisiana Marathon that weekend but decided to […]
Finished marathon run #82 while pacing the marathon training group. It was cold and a lot of ice everywhere. Not very typical in Florida! We found a package on the sidewalk which looked like it fell off a delivery truck so I went and dropped it off at the DHL delivery building.
Ran my 81st marathon run with Mark and Rigo. Was a cold morning but felt great for a long run in Blackwater.
Finished marathon #80 while pacing the marathon training group. I started early and ran to the store from my house, then paced the training group for their distance, then ran back to my house and added extra distance to get my training in.
