Chris' UltraRunderground: January 2013
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Beast: 3, Me: 0. That's it. The Winter Beast of Burden Ultra is just brutal. It seems like it should be a very doable 100 miler, yet there are some very weird factors which make it deceptively hard . harder than any 100 miler I have finished or started/DNF'd in (and there are quite a few of those! Fun drive to Lockport with Joe and Karen F. Good music, good eats. Music on an...

Chris' UltraRunderground: March 2015
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Of Winter, Roads, Racing, and Simplicity. OK March is almost over and. It's Spring. But guess what? You wait and you will likely not have to think about it . you will get closed out and the decision will be made for you. I guess that's how I ended up registering for Boston. Just something to contemplate. Some lasting impressions of this race for me:. But as Diane Sherrer onc...

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Monday, February 25, 2013. Something New, Something Fun. I didn't go into this thinking of it as a race, not that I usually have a "race mentality", but I knew that a 30 mile "race" would require something that I don't really have . speed. So here's how the day panned out . THE FINISH . finally! I crossed the finish line in 6 hours, 40 minutes! And I had a blast! Those two women that I passed in the l...

Chris' UltraRunderground: Pre-Spring Ramblings
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2015/03/pre-spring-ramblings.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Sunday, March 8, 2015. So I'm still tired of winter, although I am coping with it a little better now. Now that March is here I can really feel that there is an end in sight. Since I haven't had any races to report on and my "training" has been sketchy at best, I really don't have much to actually "report" on. My training has mostly just been a series of a flight of ideas . I can't wait to get back to...

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Monday, October 28, 2013. Running On Empty . The Avocados were out on the course! As we rolled into the finish area, three beers later and my back feeling a bit better, there was Joe standing at the finish line, waiting for me. this was definitely the best way I have every finished this race! Sunday, October 6, 2013. My year in running leading up to this past weekend. SATURDAY . race day! The climbs b...

Chris' UltraRunderground: April 2015
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Finding Me - Tales of Athena. Sometimes things just get a little overwhelming. sometimes, no matter what the cost, it's good to take a step back. numerous times I have paid well for my mistakes. this time it only cost me $175 and "losing" this money was truly worth it. Nope, it wasn't happening. now some may wonder "how could you give up BOSTON"? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Chris' UltraRunderground: May 2015
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Monday, May 18, 2015. If I could save time in a bottle. The first thing that I'd like to do. Is to save every day. Til eternity passes away. Just to spend them with you. Not thinking about time can be detrimental. After all, the point of a race is to compete against the clock, mostly to try to reach a goal I have set for myself. If I could make days last forever. If words could make wishes come true.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Wednesday, February 5, 2014. 2014 BoB . And Avoiding The FOMO Syndrome. So that is what makes me register for the longer distance, even if not properly trained and even if the race terrain is not completely compatible with what I run best on. This year I am determined to not just do what my running friends are doing but to register for what is best for me. We'll see how that goes . At least with the s...

Chris' UltraRunderground: June 2014
http://ultrarunderground-chris.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Not A DNF . Just Plain FD. And it is the only race where I never regret not going for the full 100 miles. 50 miles is my limit there and I am always happy with that, no matter what my time. So two ultras in two months, one would think that some rest would be in order, right? And then came May. Whoa . how did that happen? I was not signed up for an ultra? Actually, my body felt ...

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - The Alchemist. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Yup once again, it's been awhile . Plantar fasciitis since last fall . and i have to say. Have actually only found one race that i wanted to chuck them at, but other than that they are my savior. so here's what i've been up to . me and my Hokas . and of course, my best crew man, love of my life, Joe . My feet felt great the whole way! Elevation not so bad, but the rocks and...
