Pine Mountain Ga. Oct 15th The flight up was uneventful. I felt my strategy of taking “less than a newbie” was a good one, so all I brought fit into a carry on. Same for Suzanne, although only staying for two nights, she put enough thought into what she really needed and packed accordingly. Rental … Continue reading North Face Endurance Challenge 50 mile race.

50mi. When do I get to start a ride at 11:40am? It's when our office is closed for Columbus day and nearly everyone else has to go to work. Suzanne and I left from the small parking lot at Loggerhead park, ready for max sun. Riding up to Sandsprit park was good, I spent zero … Continue reading That’s the benefit of being off.
7 mi. A mile of warmup and 6 bridge laps make for tired legs second time this week. I was alone except for the local walkers and a few runners I didn't know that arrived as I was leaving. I know these small hills are mild and paved compared to my race in a week … Continue reading Even more climbing

Angie and Chelsea came out early to do some hills, Chelsea having been here before seemed unfazed by the up and down, … Continue reading Breezy bridge run feels good.
11mi. I could have filled a backpack with weights and given that a whirl around the beach road, but I figured the roots, ruts and gravel of Dyer Park's trail system would be the answer. I was trying to press tired legs from yesterday's long 5 1/2 hrs. into service, which wasn't a problem. I … Continue reading Dyer Park tired legs run
32mi. The Garmin reads 31.6 mi., my error in stopping it for a water break and not starting it as soon as I started running again. Walter made the early start with me at 3:20am and he stayed with me for the initial 16 miles. We did not go fast, we averaged maybe 10 min … Continue reading The dress rehearsal
