I'd rather be outside now...: July 2012
http://cotrailrunnernc.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, July 28, 2012. I did not finish. I'm not sure where this post will take me, but as a week has now passed since the unfortunate premature end to my Vermont 100, I feel like I should write something more than the little snippet I sent to my friends with the Bull City Track Club. Heading back onto the trail at mile 40-ish. A fuzzy picture of the ankle the day after. I named my cankle Sam. Largely unrelated, but I like this picture.

I'd rather be outside now...: Racing the workout
http://cotrailrunnernc.blogspot.com/2013/09/racing-workout.html
I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, September 21, 2013. All over the place, you see people blogging and tweeting about not over-running workouts. .about how you should keep your eyes on the prize (goal race) and not finish your speedwork lying on the grass in exhaustion. Before any of my fitness blogger/professional friends jump all over me, I will say I agree to some extent. I feel like there were too many negatives there. Let me rephrase that. IT'S OKAY TO...For t...

I'd rather be outside now...: Neusiok Trail Race
http://cotrailrunnernc.blogspot.com/2013/01/neusiok-trail-race.html
I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Sunday, January 13, 2013. Only one week late! So sometime last fall Ronnie started talking about something called the Neusiok Trail Race. I mostly ignored it because really? Like I really wanted to spend ANOTHER weekend traveling over the holidays? SO with the stars thus aligned, I signed up for the 21.5-mile and Ronnie, in a fit of I-don't-know-what decided that the 43-miler would be fun. Let's recap that conversation:. And so it went.

I'd rather be outside now...: February 2012

I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Sunday, February 05, 2012. Well, it's February again, which can only mean one thing! In the week leading up to the race, alert friend Brandy posted an article. The hotel rooms were spacious, sure, but these ladies were LOUD! I wanted my cheering for David to invoke this. In reality, it probably looked more like this. More importantly, when was the crash coming? I am like water skiing off the back of a jet. It's true. James must have seen th...

I'd rather be outside now...: Nuggets of wisdom from today's longass run
http://cotrailrunnernc.blogspot.com/2012/05/nuggets-of-wisdom-from-todays-longass.html
I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Nuggets of wisdom from today's longass run. Today I did my longest ever training run. To simulate the mental beatdown that 100 miles might be, I made it a 3 loop course. To simulate as much as possible the terrain that I might find at Vermont, I made that course include Turkey Creek at Umstead. Here are today's lessons learned/weirdo epiphanies:. Now you, too, can sing this for 42 miles! Vespa is still awesome. I'm s...

I'd rather be outside now...: December 2011
http://cotrailrunnernc.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, December 10, 2011. Run at the Rock. So this level of preparation was really pushing the envelope of my running karma. Also, I have to compensate for Ronnie, who has enough weird nervous energy and pre-race crazy for both of us (why do you put on clothes you're not going to run in only to change into - yes change,. Not strip down to - your running clothes when we get to the race? This just can't be one word. Facebook had alerted us...

I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Musings on 100 miles. I started this post around a month ago, but I have to admit I wasn't sure what to say. I have at the same time everything and nothing to say about this run. How do you condense 100 miles of running (well "running") into a post that someone will want to read? Anyway, sorry for the weirdness on this one - I felt like I should write something about this big ol' life milestone, but I didn't know wha...

I'd rather be outside now. The meanderings of a rogue scientist. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Return to the motherland.or "how to hurt yourself with what are, at first glance, really great ideas" Part II. Okay, it wasn't actually blizzarding in Steamboat - it was blizzarding on Rabbit Ears pass getting into Steamboat. Steamboat looked much more pleasant. Pretend this is a moose. and not holding a welcome sign. Yes, i'm too lazy to go upstairs and take a picture of the real moose. So race day finally arrived ...
