A new adventure

UTMB is coming to my town this weekend

It’s been a good week for reading about running — yesterday I finished my advance copy of Martin Dugard’s new book The Long Run in the morning, and got my copy of Raziq Rauf’s new book This is Running in the afternoon.

On practice and readiness

Preparing for an epic game

Trying to get it right for the big one

Re. Eastern States 100: If you haven’t heard, the creeks kept rising… (but the camaraderie is more important than any formal event.)

It's Eastern States weekend!

45 years ago, I climbed a mountain at Philmont in New Mexico. It set my trajectory for a lifetime of adventures in distance and wonderment.
