Affiliate Page / Ambassador

I am working on my page to support the Company’s of which I am an ambassador. I thought about having an affiliate connection with Amazon and various pages, but that does not seem to be for me. So, here are some thoughts. I have enjoyed my time as an ambassador for Honey Stinger as wellContinue reading “Affiliate Page / Ambassador”

What’s next?

Well, I started to look at races for next year when I received an email from Honey Stinger about the Hive Hustle 10 Miler. This is a virtual race opened to their ambassadors. This is a format I have never done before. I will try and find other runners in Nashville to see if theyContinue reading “What’s next?”

Still training

I am still training and working on an average of ten miles a run. I do not have anything scheduled, but cannot seem to slow down or stop. Maybe I feel like this is a good base to have when I am ready for my next race. So, several of my friends and members ofContinue reading “Still training”

One Week Past

Well, I ran the 50k last Saturday. I was not sure what to do next, so I took a couple days off and hit it again. Thursday is my normal running day. Woke up feeling pretty good so ran 7.5 miles in the morning followed by a lap in the evening with the second oldest.Continue reading “One Week Past”

Walking Tall 50k at Big Hill Pond State Park

Wow. What an event. It is the day after the race. I have rolled my back (story later) and quads. I am currently soaking my feet in epson salt. The race directors, park rangers and all the runners I encountered were amazing. We reserved our campsite for three days ( Thursday, Friday and Saturday night).Continue reading “Walking Tall 50k at Big Hill Pond State Park”

Less than a week

I have been training to run an ultra since January, but was not sure which race I would run. Well, I ended up signing up for the Walking Talk 50k back in April 2020. There are many reason that I chose this race. First, it is only a 3 hour drive from Nashville. Originally, IContinue reading “Less than a week”

It has been to long

My last post was Labor Day after my longest run of the year. Since that time I have run 22.75 miles last Saturday and 20 miles yesterday. I was disappointed in the amount of time I walked, but I was happy that I finished. In between those runs I have had some faster 10 mileContinue reading “It has been to long”

Labor Day Long Run

Well, it worked out due to other family activities that my long run fell on Labor Day. I needed to run 26 miles, so I decided to add a little extra and run a marathon. Maybe hike a marathon as you will see later. I chose Chickasaw Trace in Columbia, Tennessee for a number ofContinue reading “Labor Day Long Run”

Catching Up

It is hard to believe I have run 10 times since the last blog post. This past Saturday was my third twenty mile run of the year. I opted to run with the Franklin Road Runners at the course behind the Brentwood Library. The course took us to Smith Park, about 5 miles and back.Continue reading “Catching Up”

Finisher Medals

I thought it would be fun to share my finisher medals. I have always enjoyed seeing the different medals and swag from various road and trail races along with the different distances. I have run in several 5k races, but I only have one medal from finishing. Crazy to think I received awards for twoContinue reading “Finisher Medals”
