A blog by a guy named Chris who writes about running. Usually trail running--often at the ultramarathon distance. See you on the trails.

I'm Tired
It's only the start of day 3 of the Buffalo Trace 7-Day Stage Race and I'm tired. Sore. Achy. Cranky. I was planning on blogging about each day after it was done, but that hasn't happened. I'm barely able to update the mileage totals for all the runners. I'll post some pictures and a summary at the end of the week. So far, I'm ahead of my pace from last year and on track to reach my goal of 304 miles (one more than last year).
Chris. I'm living through you and Tracy. You are awesome. Keep up the miles.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, Chris! Slow & Steady wins... er... finishes the race... er... fun run! I shall grant you my personal mantra for this year: "I'm not talented, but I'm STUBBORN."
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that came to mind when I read your post was, "Quit whining and do it for your sister" ... and then I realized we may not be good enough friends for me to go straight to sarcasm mode! Keep up the good work Chris. And quit whining!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful picture of the trail. Almost makes me feel like running it. Oh, wait a minute....
ReplyDeleteJerry,
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the whining. If this was the "Riddle Run" I'd be disqualified. Can't do this one for my sister (that was my memorial run on April 22). I appreciate everyone's notes of encouragement.
