Evansburg 10 mile challenge...

Even easier than last year. I feel as though I am fairly out of shape and yet managed around an 8 minute mile pace. Good thing it rained all of yesterday otherwise it would not have been so much fun to play in the mud and then have two thigh-high "creek" crossings.

Running on a trail in the dark

Back on October 11th at approximately 7:30pm, I along with approx. 350 other people participated in a 6.66 mile trail race, in the dark...I am not sure how I survived considering I got lost halfway through the race but I managed to finish 70th out of 350.

Hopefully, this Sunday's 10 mile trail race will be a little easier...and by easier, hopefully I wont get lost!

Holds are on

The wall has plenty of holds, I am just too weak to climb most of my problems...

Waiting for holds...

Official training begins as soon as I get my holds that I ordered at the beginning of the month. Out of my 7 goals to accomplish before I am 40, I have already achieved 1 and am getting close to another. The next one to accomplished would logically be either a ultra marathon or 5.10 trad lead. Due to work constraints and training in March, I don't think an ultra would work out. Maybe next fall. However, 5.10 Trad lead I believe would be in reach by late winter/early spring if I am able to get enough training on my home wall. We'll see...

Long time

Long time since my last post. The garage gym is almost complete and the job is going really well. Oh yeah, and Wiggum and I finished first in his weight class at the doggie dash (6th overall out of 50).
