Had an awesome time at the 2018 Trophy Trot 10k in Raleigh on Thanksgiving Day! It was a chilly 34 degrees at the start but there was a great turn out and I even saw a turkey! 🙂
2018 Swamp Fox Ultra
I had a blast running the 14 miler at the 2nd annual Swamp Fox Ultra. I had a much faster time this year over last year’s race! We started out at 6am (sunrise is at 7:37am there) and ran a little over half of it with headlamps which is fun and interesting. Literally gets you back to the ‘roots’ of trail running😂. Several roots tried to trip me but that’s ok.
2018 Ocean Isle Half Marathon
Well we did it!! It was chillier than forecasted originally. It was about 50*, dark, cloudy, and windy with about a 9-10mph wind blowing (felt that alot when crossing the causeway bridge twice). There were 2500 runners out there and a lot of excitement!! I originally wore a black 1/4 zip long sleeve shirt over my T-shirt and I knew better. I took it off while running between mile 6 and 7 as I felt like I was getting overheated. I handed it off to Lisa as I passed back by her (she had already finished her 5k and was waiting at the point where I had told her we’d be coming through between mile 7 and 8). Even with all that, my Janji shorts and Altra Torin shoes got me to a PR!!
Running with Charlie
Had the great pleasure of running with @charlieengle as he ran for 26 hours to celebrate 26 years of sobriety at Healing Transitions in Raleigh. It was great to get the chance to catch up with Charlie as we ran and it was also terrific meeting the other runners that showed up.
