  • Why did Webb fail?

    At the board meeting last night, Webb of course came up. A few said he didn’t have the guts, which I can’t agree with… the guy has done some serious running before. A few said he didn’t know how to race, which I can agree with… Or at the very least he wasn’t thinking clearly

  • 12 Hours of Cranky Monkey

    Just returned home from this absolutely grueling race. I was on a team of three in the beginner group (fitting since I mountain bike maybe once or twice per year). Not sure if I’ve shared the story yet, but I found a “random” team with a free spot on the local mountain bike club forum.

  • Race: Run After the Women 5k (Time for Marathon Training!)

    I’ve actually done no preparation (on my plan) at all since I had planned on working on my 5k goal for a while longer, but that came to a very surprising end tonight as I finished the Run After the Women 5k in 18:56… over 40 seconds faster than the adult PR I had set
