I finally got back on the track yesterday, After warming up for two miles I ran 4 X 1 Mile and than 4 quarters. I have run 50 miles since my drop at MNP.Well I'm on my way to the trail, it is beautiful outside today. I wish everyone a great weekend.

Just some pics from the MNP150

Feeling good.


I decided not to take any time off after my DNF on Saturday.I ran 5 miles on Sunday and 20 over the last two days. My quads felt pretty bad on Monday but are fine now. I'm still in shock at how muddy the McNaughton course was and feel I made the right decision in stopping when I did. I was looking at a past training log and think I'm going to start doing some more speed work in the coming weeks,with the weather warming.I think that I need to work on the speed and drop some weight so I can start running in the front of the pack again instead of in the middle.Well that's all for now and I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Good training run.

Well after four mud filled,icy cold laps I threw in the towel at McNaughton Park Saturday.My wife even thanked me because she was freezing! I don't mind the cold but the rain and mud drove me over the top. My legs felt really good and I was running in 3rd place but my mind was beaten by the weather.My hat goes off to all that finished their races under the extreme conditions. Next up for me, the Sulphur Springs 50 mile next month and than the Kettle 100KM. I have decided to not run the 100 mile at Kettle and focus on getting a finish at Leadville in August.

Ready To Roll.

Well I had another strong week 56 miles, following a 96 mile week that had a 30 mile trail run in 4:16. I still feel I'm not in racing shape, so the game plan is to start slow walk the hills a try to have as much fun as I can. I ran a local 4 mile race on Saturday and ran it as a tempo in 26:20 which is fine for the shape I'm in. I'm really looking forward to seeing friends and doing what I love to do.Well that's all for now and I wish everyone well.
