Trail Running in Texas and beyond. Nueces 50k Race Recap. Nueces was one of those races I’ve wanted to do since I started running trail races 2 years ago. The pictures were lovely and once joining Tejas Trails training group. I played leap-frog with her for much of the first loop until she took off for her finish in the 25k.

The (mis)adventures of a caffeinated (wannabe) ultra runner. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Forgetting Where I Stashed my Battery. I was going to do a write up about my recent Cactus Rose 100 DNF but decided to write about something that happened to me during the race…something much more enjoyable (now that I look back because, at the time, it was horrifying). I think deep down inside I was probably thinking “I’ll worry about that when my light goes out? 8221; Not a good idea. My choices were to either run b...

Considering I've been running quite a while, I'm surprised it took me this long to learn this, but better late than never. The simple truth is that I have discovered that I run better when fully warmed up than when not. No more Mr. Don't Warm Up guy! Sunday, December 1, 2013. The last month of 2013 is upon us, and I...

The (mis)adventures of a caffeinated (wannabe) ultra runner. Friday, May 9, 2014. Running makes everything alright.even if for a little while. Yesterday, I visited my grandfather who is pretty ill at the hospital. After seeing him, I was not in any mood to do anything but sulk. I even skipped my p/t job of coaching.and I love coaching. Besides, by the time I returned it was pretty late, so I just sat on my couch for a bit. I didn't do anything.just sat there. We were meant to be friends! Running is a par...

The (mis)adventures of a caffeinated (wannabe) ultra runner. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. A (slow) Freight Train Coming At'cha: PETZL TIKKA RXP review). I don’t know about you guys, but I have a difficult time running in the dark – even with a headlamp and glasses. I prefer not to run with my glasses, but the reality is I need them. Glasses along with a good headlamp is a must. A while back, the Valley Running Co. Having several Captain Karl. So I gave in and purchased it. It features REACTIVE LIGHTING.

Thankfully, everything was spoil-proof. I'd prepared 5 drop bags with power bars, cokes, pringles and other assorted goodies. I had a lot of 'em left over. Well, since then, I've been feeding nightly on a steady diet of these items. $ drop bags later, unfortunately, I am on my last one. So far, it's all working. 8221; ...

The (mis)adventures of a caffeinated (wannabe) ultra runner. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Introducing Tire Drags To My Training. Things suddenly got real for me when I signed up for the Mogollon Monster 100 race. How was I going to run in that type of terrain when I live in terrain that’s like this. It's still 3 months away, but. I knew I’d have to get creative with my training. There are options: Running back and forth over an overpass gets old very quickly. The dreadmill, you ask? Screw with a loop head:.

Since upping my mileage (initially, at least), I found myself lagging in energy. So much so, that it concerned me quite a bit. Had I signed up for my current hunnerd too soon? Was I pushing so hard that my body couldn’t keep up? Was I too old to try to run what I want to run? And work, of course. The funny thing is that I. I thou...

I tell my friends that have never run an ultra (or are even thinking about it) that it’s an experience like no other. Other than the crazy distance, not only is the vibe totally different than any road race, but the aid station food is pretty incredible. Especially, if like me, you love junk food. Pretzels and jelly beans. Mile 8: cookies and a peach cobbler V Fuel gel.
