A Running Junkie From Georgia: March 2011
http://www.runlongdistance.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Georgia Marathon - The beat down. It never stops amazing me how much I still have to learn about running and racing. It seems so simple: Lace up your shoes, place one foot in front of the other, and go! Oh but how much more there is. Fast forward 11 months. Gee, I guess I gotta run this thing! Back to the learning thing; What was I thinking choosing racing flats for a 26.2 mile road marathon? I hadn't been training in them. I hadn't even been doing that much road running....Very ...

Friday, July 22, 2011. Landsford Canal 50K - A Fresh Start. My reasons for picking the Landsford Canal 50K run:. 1 It was my “comeback” run. I’d been laid up injured for most on May and some of June and I needed to get back at it. Nothing like a long race to help with that! 2 It was near my hometown……my wonderfully supportive Mom and younger sis’ would get to come hang out. 3 I’ve always wanted to meet the RD-legendary Claude Sinclair. A nice break in the brutal temps promised a cooler race. This is a sm...

A Running Junkie From Georgia: May 2010

Monday, May 17, 2010. Twisted Ankle Marathon 2010. Can't quite figure out what to say about this years race. Was it a huge disaapointment? Was it a race I can be proud of? It was really somewhere inbetween. The Twisted Ankle course is hosted by RD Becky at James "Sloppy" Floyd State Park outside of Summerville GA. While much of the trail is very runnable and fairly good footing, Becky has designed a course that makes this both a great run and one that will put a serious hurting on ya! Beautiful rolling s...

Thursday, July 22, 2010. GUTS Hot to Trot 2010. August 7th, 2010.8 hours. 1.17 mile loop.Atlanta August weather. I went into the Hot To Trot pretty well prepared. I am not someone that goes crazy on training for a particular race. I log 50-70 miles every week regardless and have not, for several years, done much terribly special to prep for an event. This approach has served me pretty well in the past but has limits. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Create your own visited states map.

Saturday, April 24, 2010. Jonquil City Jog 5K - The Gremlins Continue! I remember laying in bed 6 years ago on a Saturday morning, tired from a late night out Friday. I had intended to get up and run the Jonquil City Jog 5K right up the street, but sleep called heavier than the race and I turned off the alarm and slipped back into a deep sleep. 8:00 am.I heard the bullhorn announcing the race then the gun firing.and the guilt sank in! The 2010 edition might have been my best shot! I ran well and after th...

Running The Carolinas: Fort Clinch 100 / 50 Mile Race
http://runningthecarolinas.blogspot.com/2014/04/fort-clinch-100-50-mile-race.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Fort Clinch 100 / 50 Mile Race. I signed up for this 100 miler on a whim last fall in hopes of running a different type of race. With roughly 65 miles of trails and 35 miles of pavement, Fort Clinch. Would provide a beautiful beachfront park to break up the monotony of so many mountain ultras. I had read that the course featured rolling single track trails with roots, but I was surprised at how steep some sections were because we were beside the ocean. Not only this, but th...

Running The Carolinas: Landsford Canal 50K
http://runningthecarolinas.blogspot.com/2013/07/landsford-canal-50k.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Along the journey leading to the Georgia Jewel 100, the weekend came for The Landsford Canal 50K. Claude Sinclair. RD) and his wife Martha always do a superb job putting on this race. I like it because Claude has it measured out to exactly the 50K distance - no guessing about it being long or short. It's just a show up and run event - just the way it should be. Claude has the ability to make hills grow during each lap of his race. Sometimes you get more from a race by simply liste...

Running The Carolinas: Laurel Valley Training Run 3/23/13
http://runningthecarolinas.blogspot.com/2013/04/laurel-valley-training-run-32313.html
Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Laurel Valley Training Run 3/23/13. I enjoyed a great training run to kick off the Spring through the rugged 33 mile Laurel Valley course on the Foothills Trail. This marked my 13th run through this section of trail and my 2nd fastest time 9:17. I enjoyed the company of Bo (Bonano), Kiley, Justin and Lester for portions of the run. After spending about three months away from ultras and training I'm looking forward to reving my mileage up heading into the warmer weather. 8/13 La...
