Got a Tues morning marathon in at my first Mainly Marathon - Heartland IL. It was a hot one. Walked the back half but had great company sharing stories with other fellow runners. Great volunteers and aid station. Thanks.

In case the Internet needs more cats. Local cat cafe, The Scratching Post CU, is now open!

Clinton Lake 30-miler yesterday. Nice course, amazing volunteers and aid stations. Just a little wet and slick but when does the weather ever cooperate. I have the honor of being DFL.

Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands, NM. Rucking with 40lbs made it my slowest marathon to date but that’s what made this race unique. Unshaded course on gravel and sand just adds to the fun. Kudos to all the other marchers, many with even heavier packs.

KRR Mountain Goat! Baaah! 🐐

Nice mug instead of a medal. This will get used.

Latest running quilt is here! For all my running friends, I’m sure we shared some road or trail on these. 🎽

Let’s have some pink food.🌸

What a fun race, Frozen Cock’s Crow. A 5K with great scenery, hills, and a dip in a snowy river. Plus, a great group of friends to share the adventure with.

Hello again Mesa, AZ. I’ll be running your streets tomorrow.

Most probably didn’t know I spent my childhood/grade school years here. It’s good to be back.

I’m at Snow Devil Snowshoe race. DNF after 7:30 hrs on the course last night. Mental math was clear that I wasn’t going to finish the 10 lap/100K by this afternoon. Nonetheless, it was a great experience to try a cold grueling race in a different format. Running in snowshoes is so much harder.

Let’s race in snowshoes. Let’s do hard things. See you all tomorrow.

Btw, the Winter Death racers are out there and are made of grit!
