Race Madness: A schedule of our demise

Shannon and I have gone completely nuts and signed up for a bunch of races.
In the next 6 months, I anticipate making several blog posts from the hospital.

If anyone is running one these or would like to join us, let us know.

Nov 21, 2009 Raven Rock Rumble 10 miler
A nice single track course. A feature of this race is that you never know how long it really is. One year I got to mile marker 10 and it was in the middle of the woods with no finish line is sight. Surprise!

Dec 5, 2009 Run at the Rock 14 Miler
Another great single track race.

Feb 6, 2010 Uwharrie Mountain Run 40 Miler
This one should be interesting. Fast guys who run marathons at a 6:30 pace run this in 10 min/miles.

March 6, 2010 Umstead Trail Marathon
Favorite race of all time. This will be our fifth time running it. Got wood?

March 27, 2010 Umstead 100-mile endurance run
We are actually only attempting the 50 miler. I guess you could say "we are only doing the half". After volunteering in 2008, we just had to see what it was like. Running 50 miles in a week leaves me battered and broken. So why not get it over with in one day?

April 19, 2010 boston marathon
If we are still alive at this point, this will be a nice little cool down on a flat road race.

  1. Did you notice it seemed like Meb was wearing some sort of WHITE shoe with what appeared to me to be ORANGE laces . . .
