Since I signed up for the Wildcat 100 miler in September (which is held here in Pensacola), I wanted to get a feel of the course. The main thing I’ve heard from pretty much everyone I know who have ran it is that it’s hot, so I decided to start a little after 1pm today […]
Although there was lightning and some hard rain hitting my face for a while, today was another great marathon running with a group of great people. It’s always great seeing everyones accomplishments whether they PR a race, run their longest distance the first time or just get out to join in and support each other. […]
Haven’t paced in a while so I figured I’d practice pacing for 10 miles at an 8:58 Pace. I also got to test out my new vest (UltrAspire Momentum 2.0) which felt like it took forever to get here, but it was well worth the wait! So far it’s been great in all the areas […]
It was finally a nice colder morning to get some distance in with friends. Finished up another marathon distance run and felt good! Time to start tapering down for Pinhoti 100 in 3 weeks!
Trying out new gear for running and decided to run to the brewery run (about 8.5 miles away from home). I knew the weather was supposed to be cooler so why not? As always, had a good 6 mile run at the brewery and the beer and pizza was good. It’s always been a good […]
Finished a nice 30 Mile training run today (marathon #54) running a majority of it with Katey and Zoey. I started about 3:50 am to get some of the cooler side of weather and glad I did as it started heating up in the morning. Now it’s time to taper down the next month for […]
Finished marathon #53 today and feeling good. I’ve been taking it easy the last few months due to some hamstring tightness so after finishing Rebecca Mountain 50 a few weeks ago and then feeling good after finishing 26.2 at a faster pace, I feel like I’m getting back on track. Just in time as Pinhoti […]
Three of the West Side Crop Dusters (Matt, Bernice and I) joined the East Side Crop Dusters and finished with another marathon distance. We missed a turn at the end and ended up walking back to the start. As we got closer we noticed that the East Side Crop Dusters were still there drinking so […]
Nice trail run to today on the Lake Martin trails. Big group of us training for the Lake Martin 100 or 50 miler next month. There were about 20-30 of us all together at the start and decreased until we did the last loop with these guys. Finished something around 24 miles of challenging trails […]
Finished 33 miles today, which now makes 41 marathon distance runs with 31 of them being 30+ miles! That makes 41 marathons in 7 years! Since I’m pacing a training group, my miles are split between different consecutive runs, which normally include (run from home to Running Wild, training program run then run back home).
Finished my 40th marathon distance run (and 30th ultramarathon distance run of 30+ miles) today! Feeling good and blessed to run with friends and help runners reach distances they’ve never accomplished before!
Finished a total of 30 miles this morning. Started early and got 15 miles in before heading to the store and pace 15 more miles. This brings it to 38 marathon runs (28 of them being 30 miles or much greater)!
Started before 3am and got 18 miles before I paced the 4:30 group. I then paced the 4:30 marathon group 13 miles so that makes a total of 31 miles for the morning. Another ultramarathon distance to the books!
Today I finished marathon #35 (#25 of 30+ miles) at the Blackwater 50k. Ended up running 35 miles and I can already tell I’m going to sleep good tonight!
Just finished another 30 mile run (12 miles to Running Wild, 16 miles of marathon pacing and 2 recovery miles back home). That makes 3 Saturdays in a row of running 30 mile runs and now time to taper down and rest for the next few weeks. I was definitely feeling fatigued today, especially with […]
Finished a total of 30 miles with total time of 4:53:50 and average pace of 9:48. Ran 7 miles to Running Wild, paced the training group for 21 miles, then finished with 2 miles back home. Great weather and now I have over 32 marathons complete (24 of them being 30+ mile distance). I didn’t […]
Finished a total of 30 miles today with an average pace of 9:43. First run was 6 miles from home to Running Wild at a 9:20 pace, then I paced the marathon training group for 20 miles at a 10:01 pace. Finished up with a 4 mile run back home at an 8:44 pace. Slowly […]
Needing to add some distance to train for the upcoming ultras, I reached out to the people in charge of the Pensacola Marathon to see if they needed any pacers and ended up pacing the 5 hour group. This gives me free entry to run the marathon while letting me train for the longer distance […]
