"Seems to me that I have in the past few years been so nibbled and pushed by light minds and troubled by tiny things that I have been constantly off balance. Large things I can stand up to. I think most people can — I be
Not fare well, But fare forward, voyagers. —T.S. Eliot, "Four Quartets" I waited to make this post, to let the emotions of race weekend settle and to absorb the reality that a cancelled 100-mile race is not much in the l
On our trip west last month, we shared a flight with a contingent of Boy Scouts bound for Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Seeing them started me thinking about my own visit to Philmont, and me being me, I did the mat
I ran the Bighorn Trail Run last weekend, a 100-miler in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains. The associated travel back to Pennsylvania ended on Tuesday with a long day of driving and flying and driving some more. On Wednesday
15 years ago I was a dedicated road runner, training for yet another marathon. But partway through a random run, I followed an impulse and turned left instead of right, off of the road and into my first real trail run. H
Today, another 20th-anniversary relic. Back in 2003 we were still writing (and mailing) an annual family Christmas letter, and I’ve always thought that this one does a good job of capturing the feeling of that period. [Q
In part 1, I was using the prospect of a post-deployment marathon to give focus to my running during a tour of duty in Iraq, and I was beginning to see running as a “throughline” that tied my pre-war past to my post-war
Welcome to everyone who subscribed after my last post: There were a lot of you — thanks! That post drew more attention than anything I’ve published here before, and I’m heartened by the fact that so many people shared co
If you aren’t tuned-in to the politics of ultrarunning (maybe you didn’t even know there was such a thing as politics in ultrarunning), you probably missed the drama that surfaced in our community late last week. The ver
This week, 20 years ago… It’s amazing how your life can change from one minute to the next. Yesterday morning we were gathered in the office talking about going home, thinking that we were weeks away from it, fully expec
It’s UTMB weekend, so I thought I’d share this account of my own experience at Chamonix, one of the high points of my running career (published originally on my website on September 1, 2021). So back in 2017, I ran the U
Western States is over… now what? If you’ve been with me here for long, you know that the only thing I’ve been writing about lately is my preparation for Western States, the iconic 100-mile trail race I finally made it i
This is the fourth installment in a series about my upcoming Western States Endurance Run adventure. My intent is to give you a look behind the curtain, to maybe demystify this ultra thing, and show how fairly normal peo
The fallow was largely philosophical. Not so the train-up. This phase is all physiology, all about pushing hard to get strong. In short, it’s time to shut up and run. But not without a plan… Begin with the end in mind I
Ritual humility, pragmatic utility (7 weeks of restful regeneration in deference to the power of processes I don’t fully understand, but choose to trust anyway)... Fallowing. The first phase of my preparation for the Wes
In June I'll be running the 100-mile Western States Endurance Run (on the 25th anniversary of our 1st marathon). Here's how I'm preparing... Twenty-five years ago today, Renee and I made a pivotal life decision. On that
Here, in no particular order, are some of the reasons I love night running… Moon shadows! These delightful wonders aren’t that rare if you’re watching for them, but they’re especially magical on the coldest of cold winte
I seek first to understand, and I do penance and mitigation for his sins, I plant and plant... This 25-year-old rant is from another time and place (it’s NOT about my current neighbors), but it still feels fresh and true
Not everything, but it's almost always better to keep moving forward (my recovery after running IMTUF, a 100-mile trail race in Idaho)... Running fixes things. It’s a simple statement that can apply to our physical, ment
Earnest effort, the call, obligations that pull us back to shore (and Cormac serendipity)... It was Thursday — Writing the Rush day — and all I had were a couple mildly interesting (to me) snippets from the past two week
