100 Mile Bust |
It's a little over three weeks since my 100 mile attempt. Long story short, it wasn't going to happen. Dropped after 40 miles and nine hours.Medium story (not going to bore anyone with the long stor... Posted by Michael on Thu, 08 May 2008 05:37:00 PST |
Been a While... |
It's been a long time since I've posted anything but life has a way of getting in the way with that. After my last post, I was preparing to start training for my first 100 mile ultra-marathon.&n... Posted by Michael on Sat, 16 Feb 2008 06:30:00 PST |
Two Ultras Instead of Three? I'm OK with That! |
I finished the OT-50 last week, in an agonizing time of 11:04 (and damn proud of it!). Long story short, my body wasn't recovered from my last race, which was only five weeks earlier. I finished 15/... Posted by Michael on Sat, 28 Apr 2007 01:46:00 PST |
1st Ultra and Recovery |

1st Ultra of the season is near! |
I did my last double long runs this past weekend, back to back 25 mile runs on the Ouachita Trail. Saturday went smooth, except for the torrential rains and waterlogged cell phone. The phone survive... Posted by Michael on Fri, 02 Mar 2007 06:41:00 PST |

Arkansas |
I've been in Arkansas for about three weeks now. The new job is going very well and I don't miss the old one! I love the area. I'm in Conway, Arkansas, a city of around 50,000 people. We are about... Posted by Michael on Mon, 30 Oct 2006 05:44:00 PST |
Dances with Dirt |
Three weeks ago, I completed my last training runs, 29.2 miles on Saturday followed by 29.2 on Sunday. Saturday's run sucked and Sunday's was 15 minutes faster, partially due to a Powerbar in the las... Posted by Michael on Sun, 10 Sep 2006 08:07:00 PST |
Why Floyd... Why! |
After all the doping stories leading up to this year's Tour de France, the cycling world needed a hero. Someone to rise above the dark underworld of illegal performance enhancing drugs that took out ... Posted by Michael on Sun, 06 Aug 2006 04:00:00 PST |
Summer Vacation (of PAIN) |
I've been back from my summer vacation for about a week now. I had two weeks off at my plant due to summer shutdown. I started the vacation off right with a 26 miler through the swamp on Saturday (7... Posted by Michael on Fri, 21 Jul 2006 02:58:00 PST |
