"Not naming any names (Javelina Jundred)"
#this is what I would either love or hate about it if I ever ran it#but I think mostly love tbh#I love a party at a race#the Tillamook derby skaters who brought several dozen donuts to the Dry Tri last year and#skated the whole thing in giant tutus: they get me#honestly I think it's my derby background that makes me want running to be more of a party#like can we please acknowledge how silly this sport actually is. and celebrate that#EXCEPT when it's 1am and I might vomit

Javelina Jundred – Race Wrap Up
Very fitting that it is Halloween, and I am putting this out. The Javelina Jundred, advertised as the biggest ultrarunning party in the desert, is the original, costumed 100-mile trail run. It has traditional been on Halloween weekend and this year, celebrated its 20th anniversary. It is organized and put on by Aravaipa Running and it seems each year it gets better and better. Before we get too much further, I would like to say thank you to Aravaipa – all the staff and volunteers. I’ve had the pleasure of running over a dozen of their races and they consistently exceed expectations. Actually, there is a standard that I’ve been accustomed to participating in their ultras and they don’t disappoint. It could be an incredibly popular, large production like Javelina, where over a thousand runners participate, or one that may have a couple dozen – either way, same level of standards. They are a top-notch organization and take care of this particularly interesting community 😊. I would also like to thank, and congratulate, the other participants, as well as all the crews and spectators. The culture of this sport is infectious and keeps many coming out because of the family type of support. Javelina Jundred brings in a tremendous crowd and as indicated, a lot of people. This is a heavily contested race for several different reasons that I won’t bore the non-ultrarunning community, but there are a number of high-level, elite competitors in this event, sponsored runners and in some instances, professional, gunning for the win. Their crews, their spectators, and those fellow participants, exude the culture of this wacky and insane community. It's pretty special when you are getting passed (it is a looped course so mid-packers, like myself get passed 😊) by the top 5-10 runners in the race and they tell you, “great job,” “keep it up,” “you are doing awesome.” That is special and something that is passed throughout the community. They may be finishing hours and hours in front of most of the field but in common, we are all, in some unique way, suffering together……and yes, we did all pay for this – for the most part!
This was my second go at Javelina with my first being 4 years ago, 2018. The races I had done, up to that point, were mainly small ones so experiencing it for the first time was, well, I thought it was a bit crazy. All these people, pop-up tents littering the start/finish area, a party at the halfway aid station throughout the night, costumes, and dance music throughout the race. Way different than anything we’ve gone through in other races. We learned a lot from that first time, so we were better prepared, although we thought, this time around. It is difficult to put into perspective without experiencing it firsthand, but this is a production. Yes, definitely for the folks at Aravaipa and all involved with putting the race on but for everyone else involved. The course is about 45 minutes from our house and, as we learned last time, it is in our best interest to get a spot around the start/finish line, Friday morning to have as the crew’s homebase. I got there around 730am and it took quite some time before I had our spot, pop-up tent set, and ready to go for Saturday. One of the shots included is of our tent on Saturday morning before the start – representing Phillies, Eagles, and Penn State. Ironically, there were two other tents, about 10 feet away, one group from Philly, the other from central PA. Small world – running in 100-mile race, in AZ, thousands of people all around and we get situated near one another. Speaking of the Phillies, my wife Robin and I, Friday night settled in to watch them in the World Series and as you know it, the go into extra innings – fortunately pulling out the win in game 1. That just meant I got one less hour of sleep the night before the race. 😊
On to the race – 3am came early and I went through my routine and headed out to the course. After getting the rest of our spot ready to go and details situation, I had about 30 minutes before start time. I got talking with our neighbors around us, knowing we’d all be spending the next 24-30 hours together so might as well get to know one another. Robin and others were to be coming a bit later to help me out following my first lap and throughout the race. This race is very interesting, and deceptive for a 100 miler. There isn’t a ton of vertical climbing, maybe a total of 4500’. It consists of 5 loops, the first being about 22 miles and other four about 19.5. The major of the race is on the same loop, Pemberton Trail, throughout McDowell Mountain Regional Park in Fountain Hills, AZ. You start out at the lowest part of the course and within the first half, or so, of the loop, you do most of the climbing, which is also the most technical part of the course, and then come back down on the backside. Simply put, by loop 4, maybe even 3, you are not a big fan of the first 10 miles of the course. The other factor is the temperature. You are in the Arizona desert. Yes, it is October and this Saturday, fortunately, the high temp was about 82*. Sounds beautiful, and it is but this course is completely exposed – no shade except for some big cacti you may be able to stand behind a short period of time. So that 82* can feel like 92* easily. On the flip side, the nighttime temps can drop thirty degrees in the early morning, so the swings are vast. I was wearing a light hat and gloves during the wee hours of the morning with two thin layers. There have been times, so I’ve heard, runners had to drop because of hypothermia and heat exhaustion during the same year (not the same runner 😊). Since we lived out here, we were dialed in on that front but in this distance, as they say, anything can and will happen.
As the race got started, I had a vision of how I would have liked the day to go. I am always grateful to be able to do these races. Having the body and mind to move these distances for that amount of time is a privilege that I don’t take lightly. I also realize that is going to be hard. There will be moments that are going to suck, and I am likely not going to be very happy with myself and my decision to run this race……. but then that gratitude sits in again! It seems in every race, there is something that I experience, a place that I go to that I had not been before, this was no exception. The first loop went by pretty smooth and got through the first 22 miles feeling good and where I expected. I was excited to see Robin and our youngest daughter Alaina, for the first time, and Alaina’s friend KJ – so coming into the start/finish headquarters was a treat. We had a plan to do a sock change every loop and eliminate blisters, which made my first run here, not very ideal 😊! As we were doing some foot care, I noticed a bit of blister being to form on my right, middle toe. No worries, we were prepared, and I taped that up. Didn’t have an issue w/ that for the rest of the race, thankfully. We’ve learned, as I mentioned above, much happens in these races and much….is difficult to prepare for; there are so many unknows (sort of like life, right?). We go into these planning that shit will happen and the best thing to make yourself aware of it, acknowledge it, and then manage it. Whether that is taping a blister or, in most cases, pushing it away. “It’ll pass” was my mantra going into the race and repeated often!
There are three things that can potentially end your race – stomach going south, blown quads, or blisters. We essentially, almost, had a trifecta in this year’s race. As mentioned, we had a plan going and but unfortunately, others had a different plan for me and, Saturday just wasn’t my day. The blister wasn’t a problem, although during the last 10 miles a few others did surface. The weird and wacky thing is that my stomach went south mid-point of the 2nd loop. This has never happened before, and it was incredibly off. It felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife just below the bellybutton and I was very nauseous. We kept trying different types of food, all kinds, candied ginger and ginger-ale, and warm coke. I think I drank more coke during this race than I did in all other ultras combined. It was baffling. The good thing is my mind left the stomach/nauseous feeling because in loop 3 my quads went south. I may have been delirious or hallucinating after being up for so long, but I thought I heard them say, “two more loops, nope – we are out of here.” 😊 Each time though, the mantra, “it’ll pass,” and each loop I got to see Robin and others that popped by to check in (big thanks to Tracy L., Jenn S. and the kiddos, Brian & Meghan S.). The support by them, and even our “neighbors” was encouraging to keep going. At no point, did I ever have the thought of not finishing the race. I did have to pivot on expectations but what are those? Arbitrary when you boil it down (more on that to come).
This is the part I have to honor Robin, my wife. The sacrifice, effort, support she provides me, not just in the race, but the work that goes into preparing and follow up…….and she does it without one complaint. As focused as I am in getting this race done, she is as focused in getting me to that finish line; whatever it takes. She drove back and forth to the race site, twice. She left in between loops 2-3 because of Alaina’s homecoming stuff. And then she was out there all day and night with me. Yes, she made friends with the “neighbors” so she was lonely, but she was a one-person support crew, and I can’t say enough about it. Listen, everything in life is better when it is shared with those you love and care about and having a huge crew is always awesome; it’s a great experience. This was the first time, in a 100-mile race, where it was just us two throughout the night. Her at the crew spot by herself and me without a pacer. Those not familiar with the sport may not think much of that but, I don’t know, it think that is pretty special. Her and I figuring it out and making it happen. She was awesome and words here will not express the amount of gratitude and appreciation I have for everything she does for me and our family. Hell, supporting me during this nonsense, taking care of the Homecoming stuff with our youngest, and our eldest, away at college, trying to help celebrate her 19th birthday from afar – Robin was supermom/wife (wink – she usually is anyway 😊). There is much to be said about that – Thank You Robin.
The quad pain never did let up nor did the nauseous feeling, but it didn’t get any worse, so we were able to manage through it. The fourth was a grinder, knowing that I had to do this one more time and it was getting colder and lonelier. At this point, I was just moving forward as best I could, trying not to fall asleep; it was pure zombie mode. Coming into see Robin for the last time before the final loop was relieving. We knew we had this finished, and this last loop wasn’t going to be ideal. We went through our same routine – foot care, assess the body & more importantly, the mind. She walked me around the headquarters area as she was headed to the car for a few hours of sleep while I finish out loop 5. Always encouraging, aways faithful and never a doubt in her mind – we parted with a kiss, an “I love you,” and “see you in a few hours.”
When you let go of expectations, life can become more freeing. This sport can gobble you up and make you mad as you chase down arbitrary times. Letting go allows us to open up and gain a different perspective. I didn’t have the day that I envisioned having; the day I “expected.” I wasn’t my day and as I left Robin on that last loop, I was realizing that didn’t matter. If my arbitrary expectations were met, I would have missed the sunrise pictured in this blog. I will remember that rather than some number. I will remember the conversations I had with so many people on that final lap as we all soaked in that sunrise, the stories of our experience in the race, and in some instances, the stories of our lives. If the day went according to plan – those connections don’t occur. What’s more fulfilling? Not sure what it was but for the last 5 miles or so running didn’t hurt. My quads were painless, my stomach, no discomfort, I wasn’t nauseous. Sure, I was only 5 miles from finishing a 100-mile race, so I knew it was going to be over soon, but the footsteps were effortless. As I reached the archway, with only a quarter of a mile left, the finish felt much different than the other finishes. Running around the rest of that loop, complete strangers cheering me on and congratulating all the runners coming through, I will be honest, I got emotional. Not something I experienced before, not even when I finished my first 100.
I didn’t know what this sport was about when I did my first ultramarathon in 2015. As I’ve become more entrenched in it and have grown to love it and learn more about it, it is incredibly addictive. For several years, I’ve wondered what it would be like to have that “ideal day.” Where the race turns out like you envisioned it with no big dark moments or “pain caves.” That “magical” day – where things go according to plan.
Reflecting on this race, and every race I’ve done to this point, I was chasing something that doesn’t exist. Also, it is something that really isn’t good, at least for me. As you take the journey from the start line, to the finish line in a 100-mile race, you become a different person. The reason is of all that you experience in mile 0 to mile 100. Things are going to be hard, it won’t be ideal, you are not going to want to keep going at times and you are going to think this whole thing sucks. It is supposed to. Being able to bring yourself back from a place you’ve never been before, to keep moving forward, and truly finding out what you can endure – sounds pretty magical to me.
It isn’t about that one magical day. They are all magical days – you just have to let go of the arbitrary expectations that could our perspective.

I’m Running 10 Marathons This Year And I Still Get Fat-Shamed. Here’s My Response.
By Guest Writer Latoya Shauntay Snell
Last year, I completed two 50Ks and four marathons ― three of which were done within a two-month span. And just a week before I participated in the New York City Marathon, I also completed my first 100K ― the Javelina Jundred event in the Arizona desert, which involves running roughly 62 miles.
This year I signed up for 10 marathons and a 50-miler, and I intend on running in my first 100-miler. Still, despite earning over 100 finisher medals and completing close to 200 running, cycling and obstacle course racing events over a span of five years, the internet police continue to remind me to lose some weight. I’m an unapologetic 5’3, 242-pound road and trail ultra runner from Brooklyn sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE running shoe company, and I am continuously fat-shamed.
On Jan. 3, I posted a video on my Instagram account of my fitness regimen. A day later, this same post resurfaced as a suggestion on my Instagram “Explore” page as a repost by a person followed by more than 50,000 people. Despite not tagging me in the comments, the poster expressed “concern” that while my “advanced workouts” are admirable, she “feared for the shock” that it would place on my fat body.
Perhaps this person thought I would and should feel comforted by the condolences that she (and her sizable following) offered about my “weight loss journey,” but I didn’t. Even worse, when I tried to have a private conversation with this person, she immediately blocked me.
Frankly, I’m not sure which part of the post was the most humorous to me: the part where several Google and WebMD doctors who knew nothing about my five-year fitness journey sounded off on what they must have assumed to be my unhinged eating habits or the countless people who suggested that a woman shouldn’t lift weights and should stick to cardiovascular activities.
Over the years, I’ve encountered so many people who are absolutely mind-boggled when they learn I work out or participate in a multitude of events for reasons besides weight loss. And the disapproving commentary doesn’t just happen online ― I’ve experienced it offline, too. It’s only been a bit over a year since I was fat-shamed at the 2017 New York City Marathon. But the abuse began long before that.

Javelina Jundred Recap - I finally did it
It’s been about 4 years since I ran a race that felt like I was actually prepared, reasonably healthy, and able to give it everything I had. The 2014 Wambaw Swamp Stomp and the 2014 Mad Marsh 50k. In both cases I didn’t have anything slow me down other than my own physical strength and will to keep pushing. And in both cases my will was fairly strong and I ended with good performances. Unfortunately, around that time is when all of my lower leg injuries started happening and I spent the next 4 years with some degree of plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonopathy, and/or a sprained/mystery injury ankle. I’ve spent all year trying to get the injuries under control enough to have some good races. The Never Summer 100k went okay, but all of the vert in training and vert in the race really hammered my achilles injuries. And they definitely slowed me down at various points of the race. I felt structurally better for the Grand Traverse, but I had a bad cold. And despite a pretty decent finish given the difficulty, I still felt like I didn’t really do what i was capable of.
I felt pretty good at a high level going into Javelina - despite picking up another cold a few days before. Generally I felt faster and stronger than I’ve been in years. The long runs were going pretty well and not really doing any damage. My heels were the best they’ve been in a while. I was careful to stay off heavy vert and rocky terrain to keep from making things worse. A few weeks before the race I had a relapse of the ankle injury I fought for 6 months or so starting before Leadville last year. But I was able to cram in a few dry needling appointments and that got it under control for the race. I was sleeping reasonably well, eating somewhat well, not burnt out at all, and feeling confident. Then I spent the last 3 days before the race eating tons of vitamin C and zinc lozenges to fight off the cold.
Everything seems to have worked. And thanks to a benadryl overdose, I actually slept 4-5 hours before the race. The only mistake I made was forgetting my phone. Luckily we took 2 cars so my wife could drive back to the condo at triple the speed limit to get it for me. I got to the start line 3 minutes before the race started. No time to panic about what I was getting myself in to.
Looking at my pre-race goals for loop 1 - I nailed all of them. I ran the full 22 miles, kept my average pace under 10:00 (was about 9:55), spent much less time at the basecamp aid station, and started loop 2 under 4 hours. My right quad started hurting at around mile 13, which was weird. But aside from freaking me out a little, it never really caused a problem.
Last year at this race I completely imploded in loop 2. It was hot and I didn’t manage my body heat or my nutrition and hydration well. This time I was extra careful with that. I drank a ton of water in loop 1. Enough to force about 5-6 pit stops in the first 5 hours. But at least i was hydrated. I stuck to simple solid foods, abandoning the mountain ultra plan of clif bars early in the race. I held that up until about 50k. At that point I switched almost exclusively to gu and gatorade for calories. I also managed my body temperature very well. I bought a $50 running tank top with a bunch of holes cut into it at the race expo and it was probably the best $50 I’ve ever spent. At major aid stations I’d soak that think in ice water and fill my hat with ice. The end result is that I only started to feel overheated at the tail end of the 6.5 mile section to/from jackass junction and coyote camp. Overall i felt pretty comfortable despite the temperatures getting close to 90 degrees again.
Again looking back on my goals, the plan was to run until Rattlesnake Ranch in loop 2 (about 26 miles) and then try to hike/jog to Jackass Junction at around 50k and then hopefully run some low teens into basecamp. Then start loop 3 in under 9 hours. I ended up running all of loop 2 and starting loop 3 in barely over 8 hours. More than 2 hours earlier than last year.
The aid station breaks were longer than I was hoping for. But i was being disciplined about eating, drinking, staying cool, and managing my comfort (like getting rocks out of my shoes). I think it was worth it.
Last year, the sun went down 5 or 6 miles into loop 3. This year i finished loop 3 without a headlamp. I had to hike some up of the uphills this time, but I ran the entire final 9 miles of the loop. I hit the 100k mark in about 12 hours and celebrated with some pizza.
In loop 4 I finally felt like I had my first bad mile. It was mile 65, and I felt like I was too tired to keep running slightly uphill. It was an easy mile that I feel like I should have been able to jog better, but the fact that it took me 65 miles to get to the point of feeling tired is great. At this point the mile splits started to look worse and it became a game of trying to jog bits of the uphill to keep the average pace down and try to force myself to shuffle the downhills.
Mile 81 was my last basecamp stop and I was there for under 5 minutes. I also ran the .5 mile loop in camp in upper 8:00′s. I flew out of basecamp on a huge adrenaline rush going into the last loop. Unfortunately that only lasted about a mile before I realized my legs were way too tired to handle fast running. I kept my pace together into my final stop in Coyote Camp and then started to hit a low point in the 6.5 mile uphill to Jackass Junction. Mile 89 was my worst non-aid station mile of the race: a flat 19:00.
I started bonking pretty hard around mile 86. No energy, very low psychologically. I started to think about how hard this was and how tired I was and how it would be impossible to finish something like Leadville or Bighorn if I was this tired at 20ish hours. But that had to be the bonk talking because my loop 5 time was about the same as my loop 4 time - basically a flat 5 hours, which is 30-40 minutes faster than any loop I did last year aside from loop 1.
I hard a hard time running in the final 9 downhill miles. My legs were just completely shot. But I managed to jog enough to keep my splits under 15:00 until the final 3.5 miles. At that point there was so little difference between my 14:00+ minute “running” pace and my 18:00 minute hiking pace that I was having a hard time convincing myself to push. But that’s fine. I failed to dig extra deep at mile 97 and it cost me about 5 minutes on my final time. I can live with that.
I crossed the finish line in 22:14:46. 4 hours and 20 minutes faster than last year. And I earned my first sub-24 belt buckle.
I finished the race in the top 20% of finishers and top 12% of starters. An enormous improvement over last year. For the most part, my training was spot on and my race strategy was about as good as I could hope for in the first 80 miles. I think at 80+ I probably needed to eat more real food. The gu and gatorade diet wasn’t doing it for me anymore and I just didn’t have any energy. But lesson learned. I’m super stoked about how this went. Congrats to everyone else that ran it as well. Now I’m taking a week or so off, then it’s time to start thinking about how I’ll prepare in the off-season for the Bighorn 100 in June.

Our 2016 Grandmother's Marathon Examine!
The unique location for those males with curly hair, whether wavy, curled or kinky hair. This weekend break was actually additionally Javelina Jundred in Arizona and also Ultracentric in Texas (Tony Mangan gained the 48h race with 202 miles, or 202 laps ...). As well as of course countless other operating tales around the World ... When interests as well as sport result in building a relaxed and much more united Planet. I have actually been using UCAN sporting activity alcoholic beverage as well as rehabilitation mix for the past 3 months after going through Sunny Blende's Jan/Feb 2012 Ultrarunning post.
However, ought to http://buyit-direct.vn/estelle-gia-nhan-hau-qua-noi-de-mua-tron-vu-kem/ determine to use Era UCAN's sports consume alcohol blends or every other health and nutrition supplements, use all of them since they help you. A significantly better selection for a winter 'running' sport to be contributed to the Olympics would be actually Snowshoe Operating. During this part of the race our experts assess our continuing to be electricity as well as find to boost our rate preferably, progressively in the beginning and also as we obtain closer to the finish.
Many of these supply little bit of in the method from details as well as suggestions for the common entertainment jogger along with second-rate" or poor" opportunities, as well as these short articles in on their own just serve to continue the view that the sport is actually just for the normally athletic individuals in great bodily shape, who subsist on a diet plan of almonds and berries.
I adore all facets of flying working at races like Marine Corps to communicating at expos like Cherry Blossom or a Stone N Roll Marathon race, to finding out the ins-and-outs and also past of the sporting activity from people like Jeff Darman and Phil Stewart, or even cheering on runners on the side projects at Boston ma I am actually still unsure which is actually much more enjoyable - cheering or even running Boston.
This was actually getting hot though, and also the worrying sensation that whatever wasn't right was still there certainly - I experienced lifeless as well as standard, with a distinctive lack from electricity. Consuming alcohol 16 or two ozs from Sporting activity Consume Mix and water leaves exactly what thinks that a milky finish in my mouth that is actually bothersome during a workout session. The connection between your personal power and the top quality of your work is actually special, and also that is actually solid.
Quest Healthy protein Bars are actually high in healthy protein (20g), reduced carbohydrate, gluten-free, possess no increased glucose (they are actually sugared with Sucralose - I have no concept if this is actually an advantage or not) as well as include all around 200 fats per bar. There were actually several various other obstacles, including the Liberator, where you are climbing up a wall structure along with secures in your palms and marks under your feet, or the passionately labels Balls to the Wall structure, going up a wall structure using a twisted rope, where the amazement at arriving was instantly substituted by the stress and anxiety from ways to overcome and back down again. I see my 5-year-old kid playing around plus all he carries out is bonk-he lack power after rigorous bursts.
This wasn't commonplace that this was a deserving search, given that the U.S. had not possessed any sort of results in the sport. However if they possessed 2 or 3 healing days between anxiety exercises they might probably deal with 6-8 miles effortless daily. Nonetheless other elements like weight gain through muscle mass is actually an even more main problem and causing greater energy needs.
However if ultras just do not attract as numerous women as males at that point possibly that is actually just the method it is actually as well as the issue should not be pushed since our team could still be actually honored to be a sporting activity that, mostly, disregards whether you are a person or a gal and merely welcomes you as a runner. The first primary advancement came with BBSes from the overdue 1980s and early 1990s, when an error-correcting as well as signal-quality-sensitive documents move process seemed aimed to transfer data over phone product lines. Thus enjoyable to observe the higher power spurting of this particular brand-new creation and kids being actually geared towards well-balanced behaviors!
The resulting appeal is closely evocative from the Oriental chonmage hairdo prominent in the course of the Edo Duration (1603 to 1868) utilized initial through samurai enthusiasts to keep their intricate headgears in position throughout battles and eventually used through sumo wrestlers. The terrific updates is that they are actually pretty impartial on street vs. tri as well as possess a wonderful option of both (they frequently have comprehensive set consisting of some variation from; bike, pedals, footwears, safety helmet, wetsuit - need to you intend to perform) - so you'll remain in really good palms.
Due to the fact that it is actually the primary energy source, this's also the very first to diminish in the course of higher strength exercise or even movements, and also hence by increasing our basic creatine outlet degrees, our electricity output is enhanced. I like your write-up and also possess a comparable one on my site that likewise includes a quite detailed comparison of electricity gels in addition to tons of various other power gel information featuring what elements are vital, the best ways to produce your own, dosage as well as timing, and so on We fit 2 six-foot grownups and there was actually still plenty of area in the freight area for packs, dogs, and colders.
Physiologically we perform this since the body is actually certainly not functioning at peak productivity at the beginning from a run/race therefore starting slightly slower permits our team to conserve energy and ramp in to total effectiveness in the course of the opening up mins of the ethnicity. I don't believe that that is actually healthy (emotionally or even actually) for the dishonesty individual, as well as I do not feel that it remains in the best passion for the managing community and the sporting activity from ultras to tackle that type of short-cut" perspective. While I had not been injured because of the footwear, they just weren't the perfect match either.
The resource is automatically improved along with their database on a daily basis so the guide certainly never heads out from day. The cause for any kind of density in a footwear is to give padding and also in Newton's case energy yield also. And, looking ahead to 2016, the Chevy is going to give a 2.8-liter diesel motor that should push freeway fuel economy well in to the 30-plus mpg selection.
Honestly, Creatine is actually entirely tidy, it is actually completely secure, as well as there is actually research studies where one ... I always remember there gones on man, a study, which has one renal, as well as that kidney possessed kidney issues, it had not been a 100 percent kidney, as well as he had the capacity to have Creatine without any issues, thus if he can do that I'm pretty sure we all can do that. Considering that of that tissue electricity kind of factor I was informing you around, exactly what they are actually discovering now is Creatine can in fact have cognitive perks.

I know I’m late to this party, but I love Ryan Montgomery crossing the finish line of the 2021 Javelina Jundred in his little crop top and being embraced and wrapped in a pride flag by his drag queen crew chief and then taking that flag and waving it around under the finish arch. Not enough of this in ultrarunning. It is a sport, make it gayer

Honey it's too hot for clothing today... but I suppose laws and stuff means I cannot walk around nude unless it's for art. Nevertheless, training for the Ironman 70.3 and Javelina Jundred 100K is going great thus far. I have a total of 14.5 miles of cycling in and loads of stair training. I did a bit of calisthenics in the park but haven't touched my run yet. If I miss it, I'm not too worried. Back to back long run on the schedule for the weekend will keep me honest. I'm excited about talking to my running coach... yes, I have one now! I hears she's a sweetheart but I know she's going to kick my ass and make me a better athlete. What's your weekend plans looking like?

100 miles, 25 heures et 38 minutes, 15 ans.
Toi au même âge tu demandais ton argent de poche en avance pour le griller en clopes devant la gare de ta ville.

Dusk/ dawn trail snaps from this week. I’ve been doing more runs with only a 16 oz. handheld and my watch, so not many photos for posting lately. I’m really excited though because I JUST REGISTERED FOR THE JAVELINA JUNDRED! I have a 50k in Flagstaff coming up soon and then a handful of other races I want to get after, but none are as iconic or epic as Javelina. As a bonus, I’m switching to working part time for the summer so I have more time to run!

Little Progress Can Keep Ya Going!
The picture above is from my second 100-mile race a few years ago. It was right around mile 98 at the Javelina Jundred and I wasn’t even at a slog (slow job); it was more like a shuffle. The bottoms of my feet, around mile 60 were hamburger meat and we had to shuffle the final 40 miles. It took me almost the same amount of time to cover 60 miles as it did that last 40. But we made it. We did it by making small progress with each step, left foot, right foot. In a race, it is easy to see yourself make progress. You tick of the miles and go aid station to aid station. Sure, there can be many, many lonely moments in an ultra, but if you keep moving forward, you are good to go.
The last month I’ve experienced some of these lonely moments. No, not racing! Just getting back to walking comfortably. I tore up my knee, apparently pretty good, and with some other interesting nonsense going on with it, we made the tough decision to not run. Running is meditation for me, an escape, a stress reliever; it fulfills me, brings me joy, and challenges me all at the same time. Losing that, like any loss can suck; and this has. However, just like an ultra, it was a process and small progress, although maybe not seen, eventually gets you to where you want to go…….it gets you to become, who you want to be. Fortunately, we have a great Dr. and we’ve gone through some injections as well as rehab exercises. The first couple weeks found incremental progress. The first week walking was still an effort and, in many cases, not ideal. As the weeks went on and the injections took their course, walking became much better. My daily walks with my wife and the dog, not only started to become ideal, but the conversations with my wife were like additional therapy sessions. We decided that I wouldn’t run again until May 1st. I would test it occasionally but wouldn’t do anything significant (20 mins) until 5/1.
About 10 days ago, I was feeling good one morning and put the running shoes on to give it a test. I made it to the end of the block, about 50 yards, before having to walk back to the house. Not gonna lie, it was a punch to the gut. Although walking was much more comfortable, the strain on the knee with the running motion was a no got. This process has been a test of my patience (and my waistline 😊). It has also challenged my mind. All these thoughts about the future, about the past, will I be able to do what I was able to do in this picture above? Yeah, there was some feeling sorry for myself. I know it sounds petty and ridiculous in a way, but it is reality. We all have different forms of loss, during this chapter, this was mine. Those pity parties were short-lived, and the thoughts went to gratitude and the progress that was being made; short, simple, baby-steps. And, staying consistent with the rehab, stretching, and yes, those things that we may not like but done consistently over time, provide value.
This past Tuesday, I was feeling good, and quite spry 😊. So, we decided to give it another test. I took a walk over to the soccer fields, about ½ a mile away and began a slow jog on the grass. It started a little shaky at first, so I went a ½ mile with a jog, and then walked a tenth. Kept this up for about 3 or so miles, jogging about 2.5 miles. Big progress but throughout that effort, there wasn’t a point where the knee felt comfortable. I definitely felt it throughout but, it was painful.
Today was the real test, May 1st. Will I be at a point that I can start getting back to running? Robin and I got up and took Bear for our daily 2+ mile walk around those same fields. We got back and I headed back out to run. I walked to the corner, that same corner I couldn’t run to a few weeks prior and started running to the park. It was certainly jog-like pace, but I was moving, and the knee was feeling pretty good. I made it to the park, got on the grass, and decided to see how many laps I can do. Would I be able to make it 3 miles at a slow pace? The first mile clicked off and I felt the knee, acknowledge it and moved on. At mile 2, I did feel a sharper pain hit for a second, but it left quickly, I was getting close to mile three and looked at my pace; not fast, but faster that what I would have expected. I got to 3 miles and stopped running. I was going to walk the ¼ mile or so back to the house and the entire way the knee felt good. When I got home there was some feeling to it but since, moving around, going about the day, it has felt ok. With the walk and “run,” I made it over 5 miles time on feet.
That my friends is more than just baby-steps. I am working to not be too optimistic or excited. It is a good feeling and gives me much confidence. However, I must stay diligent with my rehab, listening to my body, and that whole patience thing 😊!! We have a long way to go and will see what tomorrow brings but today was a good next step!
