Road Trip

I'm thinking of taking a road trip in couple of weeks ,to run some trails in Kentucky.Things have been stable around the home front,running and teaching are going good,but I'm really missing the adventured of the trail. All lights are Green for my Long Trail attempt in June,but I could really use some help with sponsors and crew.I have been running about seven miles a day right now and have felt great after the runs,my energy is back and it's is fun again.I want to wish everyone well with their upcoming races,and hope to see ya on the trails soon.

Balance In Life

Well it's been a while since my last post and I have had a few changes in my life.I have gotten a teaching job for an after school program.I'm going to be teaching nature study,go green ,outdoor adventure and yes running! The classes are run in 30 minute blocks and I'm teaching three nights a week so it's a start.We also have a new member in the family,a beautiful Turner and Hooch puppy with the slobber.As for the running it has been going pretty good also,I have run every day this month except two days.I'm thinking about running a race of some sort next month just to test my fitness.I'm also going to do some bow hunting this week and hope to get a shot at a nice buck.I wish everyone well with life and running.

What a summer.

Well we are starting are transition back to our home from our cabin.I can't really explain how well I feel (except for the added weight)about my time off from running.We have been staying at our cabin since May 20Th and it has been great waking up everyday and fishing and spending time with the family.We bought a boat and have been fishing almost every day.I have been running and hiking on and off.I was going to return to racing this month but have decided not too.I have to say it feels good to be out of shape for the first time in four years.I know that the ultras I ran last year kicked my ass and that my body is finally starting to feel normal again.I'm not sorry I ran all the races I did and I'm sure I will be back,but for now I'm going to just take it easy and do some long hiking.I'm leaving Tuesday for a five day hike on the Midland to Mackinaw trail. As for when I will run and ultra again time will tell.Later friends

It's on!

I 'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks,to test my fitness level.My back seems to be recovered and my legs feel fresh.I have decided to run from Munising to the Mackinaw Bridge,and use this as a high mileage training week.The plan after that is to travel to Leadville and get a finish and race hard at the Haliburton 100 in September.Hope everyone is doing well.

Life is good

Hey all, sorry I have not posted much lately.We have been staying at our cabin and putting in a hardwood floor.I started running around six miles a day again and I'm happy to report I'm out of shape!I also have been spending time fishing and hiking with the family.I passed on the Kettle race because,I was really not ready to try to race yet.

As for what the future holds for running this summer,I have planned another long multi day run.On July 31,I'm going to run from St.Ignace, Michigan to Munising, Michigan on the North Country Trail(240 Miles).This should be a very nice journey,running by waterfalls as well as Lake Superior.I would welcome some people to run with me or help my crew.After that adventure I plane on running the Haliburton 100 In September. Well thats all I have for right now ,Later

kettle 100km?

Well, as of right know I'm 77% sure, I'm going to give it a shot.That's all I'm going to say about it for now.We just got back from our cabin and I took a week off from running.My wife told me yesterday that I could run kettle if I wanted to so,I'm going to try to put in some miles this week and see how it goes.
