Running long (3 x Smedley Laps) 1:57:50 intensity: (1:12:50 @2) + (45:00 @3) 12.14 mi (9:42 / mi) +1267ft 8:50 / mi
shoes: Topo MT-2 (10) Brown

This beautiful day! Hard to get out the door -- remembering ES pains, I guess. Once I did, though, I had a great time, pushed a bit more each lap, and overall remembered what fun there is in the woods.

Negative splits! 3 lap PR!

Scheming for next year to set up this fall's plan for me to ignore.

2017 Eastern States Race Report

What's next? Well, Batona 50 in November, then I'd like to schedule the Skye Trail Ultra (73mi) for next late-spring. Looks incredible!

shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra

The best day of the summer, unbelievable for mid-August!

A few slow speedup laps to see how I feel recovery-wise. Not bad! A bit creaky at first, a bit of knee ache (IT?) early, a bit of hip ache late (4+ mi), but otherwise feeling 90% recovered. Huzzah!

Eastern States 100: Weather Luck? Tracking!

I just put the final touches on my pace/elevation chart, and got a few laminated. It's set in stone, now! Ha! Laundry, drop bag shopping and packing, and I'm pretty much ready to go.

I sure hope this weather holds!


If you want to cast an occasional eye on me throughout the day / night / day on Sat / Sun, take a look at my Tracking Page — click on the Splits tab for ... you know, splits. Last year it was pretty useless, apparently, but maybe they worked the kinks out.

shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 3 Ultra

Easing into race week with a super-casual jog/walk. Humidity is up, but the temp is still cool. Nice day in the woods, lots of folks out. Ran the Crum Long Loop, which I haven't done in a while.

My watch was showing me at 13,800'. :)

Please some of this weather next Saturday! A gorgeous, 77F, low humidity, breezy, sunny day in the Crum Woods with Steve, chatting Eastern States, and other stuff. Went at a pretty good clip.

weight:160.8lbs shoes: New Balance RC1400v4 10D #2

Start: 92F hot and incredibly muggy, pre-storm.
During: t-storms developed and cooled things down to < 80F (and wet) as the run progressed. It was nice to remember how 'cool' feels. Fingers crossed it's 70F / 60F on race day / night on the 12th!
