Well, back in January I was exited our local recreation center and bumped into a running buddy. He asked if I was running the MCTU 25k and I said no. I had no interest in running a 16 mile race that took 4 hours and I got lost in last year. He encouraged me sayingContinue reading “Music City Trail Ultra (25k)”

On February 12th, I ran the Hot Chocolate 15k with my brother his wife and two of his kids. The day before I took one of my daughters to the expo to pick up my packet, my brother’s families packet and one for a friend. It was not the expo I expected. There were noContinue reading “Nashville Hot Chocolate 15k”

Friday, February 4th, was a crazy day. My daughter was bringing her roommate home for the weekend from college, another daughter was celebrating a birthday and we had normal let’s get ready for the weekend activities. Well, a few members of the trail running group, the Scalawags, were messaging about a trail race the nextContinue reading “Tick Ridge Trek 25k”

A few months ago I decided to run the Music City Trail Ultra 25k. I wanted to run a mid distance race and felt that was a distance I could easily manage having just ran 13 miles around my neighborhood. Well, mid February we had a big snow storm and I strained my back shovelingContinue reading “Music City Trail Ultra”

It has been too long since my last post which means that either I am really busy or there is not much to post. Well last weekend I took my youngest to Cummins Falls State Park for a 5k trail run. It was a rainy and cold day, so we dressed appropriately. When we arrivedContinue reading “Cummins Falls 5k”

There are no serious races in the near future on the calendar as of yet. That makes it really difficult to train and keep up with the blog. So, I have a training 5k race with my 10 year old in 3 weeks and an actually 5k trail race at the end of February withContinue reading “What is next?”

Well, I did not get to run on New Year’s Eve and I did not get to run on New Years Day. So, starting on January 2nd, a Saturday I was able to get my first run in and I opted for a half marathon. Crazy thing about the run was that I was 7Continue reading “Brand New Year”

A few days late to post. What a year it has been from so many different perspectives. For me 2020 was a big running year. My initial goal was to run a 50k, which I accomplished in October (Walking Tall 50k). I found some amazing trails to run like Preservation Park. Enjoyed Saturday morning runsContinue reading “End of the year”

I ran the virtual Hive Hustle 10 Miler this past Friday. I really had not trained for it specifically, but kept my fitness up since completing the 50k in October. It made for a fun later half of October and November. With no specific goals, I was able to run what I felt and whenContinue reading
