Day 3- "recovery day" I "slept in" today, which means I got up at 6 instead of 5:30. We drove back out to the stone pillar and the 100K mark. I put on my Oakley Persevere longsleeve, since it was chilly and windy yet that morning. I ran on the dreaded Great Basin Highway for … Continue reading Fence? What Fence?

Wanna Blow Up A Watermelon?
Day 2- another 50K I began today back at Powerline road. The road is completely dirt and large rocks, and very beat up with technical footing. The first mile of it appeared to be an illegal dumping site, with junk and broken glass, shotgun shells and shot up stuff all over the place. It was … Continue reading Wanna Blow Up A Watermelon?

Boston Marathon, Pt. 2- Post Race
After talking with the reporter, I met up with Dave, one of the producers for the documentary for MS Run the US. Actually, he found me for the first time that day. It was a bit of luck, and a bit of my spotty ability to give directions in such a huge, populated city. He … Continue reading Boston Marathon, Pt. 2- Post Race
Boston Marathon, Pt. One
Currently 7am in Boston, I sit here at Logan Airport watching the sun rise over the tarmac with planes dotting the horizon while I type this. The memories of yesterdays race and the weekend that accompanied it are very active, and can especially be felt in my legs. There is 2 hours until I get … Continue reading Boston Marathon, Pt. One
