Lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to education. This compulsion a function of my interest in high performance, capability and what it takes to develop that in any human. Since I now have a small child, I’m inclined to consider those younger humans in addition to those adult-sized models. One of the things I learned from my reconnaissance to Uwharrie a few weeks ago was that I was quite underprepared in my steep uphill hiking fitness. You’d think running up hills would be adequate, but Uwharrie is different from my local terrain in that it is littered with longer, steeper climbs. When you’re going 40 miles, this means hiking them if you aren’t a mountain goatesque freak of nature. This is mostly for my mother, who likes to see these but is not on Facebook. This training race kind of snuck up on me. Before I knew it, I had to get up early and go push myself for 10 miles on snowy singletrack. Uh oh. Continue reading Race Report – Little River 10 Mile Trail Run Remy is now 28 months and into size 3T clothes. He makes me laugh every day. Here’s the latest things of note to record for posterity. OK, I know this is a little late and this is actually two workouts, not just one. The Uwharrie Recon occurred on 12/29/10 and the Carrboro 50k was on 1/2/11. Both are key events in my preparation for the Uwharrie 40 and are close in calendar proximity, so they both deserve a mention. I keep a reading list here so I have a record of books and articles that I’ve read. Why? I don’t know. So that I can feel some sort of satisfaction for the accomplishment, I suppose. Kind of like being able to look back over my training log, but for mental training of sorts. |
