gIANt Running: 2012 Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run
http://trailmonsterrunning.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-vermont-100-mile-endurance-run.html
Website for information on upcoming group runs, local trails, trail races and more, including the Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival and the Bradbury Mountain trail Running Series. Friday, November 16, 2012. 2012 Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run. Of course, confidence in my ability to get to the finish line didn't stop me from being afraid of how much pain I might encounter along the way. Might be my best option for a 100 this year. And the result was that I had a pretty poor race at the Stone Cat 50.

Snowman Says: Snowshoe Season
http://sn0m8n.blogspot.com/2014/03/snowshoe-season.html
Saturday, March 22, 2014. January 19, Bradbury Squall. February 8, Maine State Snowshoe Championships. Maine State Snowshoe Championships Race start. February 16, Bradbury White Out. I wanted to make up for the easy and short course from the Bradbury Squall, and combined with the conditions, I really nailed. I still opted for the flatter East side, but I packed in the two biggest climbs I could find along with half of the dreaded O Trail. In short, this course is a keeper! Bradbury White Out start. Post-...

Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Training Log 5/20 - 5/26. Much better overall week. Zero pain and very little tightness. (Well, for me, anyway.) More importantly, I felt comfortable running, which was a big boost both physically and mentally. Things are definitely coming around.well, until I got to Pineland. 5/20, Sunday: 5 - 40:05, Highland Green. Felt oddly sluggish, perhaps the body didn't like taking the previous day off. 5/23, Wednesday: Off. 5/26, Saturday: 8 total. Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival.

Monday, April 30, 2012. Training Log 4/22 - 4/28. Well, well, well.lookie here! It really doesn't make a difference. The key is to not overdo it. Plain and simple. Here's the best news: over the last 2 weeks, the knee/IT band has been a non-issue. I haven't had any pain and only minimal tightness. That Dr. Jamie cat. 4/23, Monday: Off. 4/26, Thursday: Off. 4/28, Saturday: 6 - 45:50, TARC Spring Classic 10k. After leaving the kiddo with my parents for the day, D and I made our way to Weston arriving in pl...

Snowman Says: All Done
http://sn0m8n.blogspot.com/2012/06/all-done.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. That's all she wrote. Another injury means more time off, more rehab, more.more.more. I'm done. I don't have the mental energy for another stint of rehab. Running is supposed to be fun. It's not anymore. No more training. No more goal races. It's just not enjoyable this way. I'll probably run here and there. I'll still show up at the summer Bradbury races. I'll still direct the snowshoe series. And, with no more training. No more training posts. Maine Runner - Jamie. Miles To Go...

Thursday, February 9, 2012. The Aftermath and Looking Ahead. It's been more than 6 weeks since my last post. When the blog goes dark, it's never a good thing. Like my training, when it's humming along, good things are happening. Not much good to report, right now. Or is it? Well, that's the $64,000 question. The pain is clearly on the outside of my knee. It's the cause of the pain that's far more mysterious. I've been getting regular massage treatments. Where does this leave me? One day, I'll be ready...

Snowman Says: Bradbury Bruiser - Race Report
http://sn0m8n.blogspot.com/2013/09/bradbury-bruiser-race-report.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Bradbury Bruiser - Race Report. An actual, living, breathing race report. It's true. I finally put in an effort worthy of a report. Not the result I would have liked, but certainly the effort. But without giving away too much of the ending, here's what went down at the 2013 Bradbury Bruiser. Since setting my sights on the Big Brad Ultra 50k. What I didn't need to review pre-race was the strategy. I've learned how to best tackle this race: stay relaxed on the Island Trail,...

Snowman Says: State of Love and Trust
http://sn0m8n.blogspot.com/2013/09/state-of-love-and-trust.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. State of Love and Trust. I've drafted this post on countless runs over the past few months, but when it has come to putting keys to pixels, nothing has materialized. Fear of the enormity of the task was the biggest obstacle. How do I properly sum it up? Well, here's a crack at it. Where have I been? In late April, I got a tempered ego boost with a win at the TARC Spring Classic 10k. As my training log notes: "5k's hurt! But much like the TARC 10k, the pond was small- the underc...
