http://marksgonnarun.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
This is a blog about running but more importantly about being happy. Sunday, September 9, 2012. Red Mule 5K Race Report. It seems as though "Forward Progress" stopped making any progress and was stuck in May just after the Keys 50 mile race. On August 25th I did a 5K since I wanted to see where I was at and I had enjoyed doing it 2 years ago when. While warming up. Lined up next to Neil and Jacki, saw Jacki take off and followed behind Neil. Next two miles were challenging but I was able to hang on. ...

Finished my first 100 mile race and first WS100 which I was lucky enough to get into on my first try. I feel like there is so much I'm missing here, so feel free to ask questions to help me remember!

This is a blog about running but more importantly about being happy. Monday, April 16, 2012. Croom Fools Run 50 Mile Race Report. I can't believe so much time has past since my last blog entry. I wanted to get something down, especially this race report from just a little over a week ago down before I forget everything. 10:17 pace (6th place overall). I think the first 5 miles was the most enjoyable, somewhere around a 10:00 pace. After the warm up loop, passed through the start and saw Jenny. We chatted...

And then finally, the Tarpon Tavern aid station, just past mile 36, only ten miles left to go. Joe was there, he had dropped out at mile 29, had eaten lunch and had a beer ...

The plan for now is that this will be my last ultra for a little while since I'm going to try and concentrate on running a half marathon in under 1:25 so that I can run NYC marathon with my brother in 2013. Before heading to Miami and the hotel.

This is a blog about running but more importantly about being happy. Monday, March 12, 2012. Recovery and Next Race. I can't believe so much time has gone by since the 100K race. I've been meaning to get a blog update in, so here it is before any more time goes by. Basically, it was pretty smooth compared to how it could have gone. After the race, I took Sunday through Wednesday off completely from running and other exercise, except for some walking. Then I ran Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, it...
