Intro

It’s 2025 and I should be doing strength training! I need to put in some credible training…and at least hit 50M this year. If not more…it’s early in the season, so anything is possible… again … 🙂

I made an events page for general event info and links to people’s calendars.

Results links

Misc historical results:

  • my UltraSignup results.
  • I don’t know how many people actually use Athlinks, but here’s my Athlinks Profile site. I found and claimed a bunch of random results from when I used to run road 5k’s in Cambridge.

2024

Summary

I was really hoping to hit 100 at Ghost Train in 2024 – that did not happen. But I didn’t put in the work, so that makes sense. I had that slump in July which sorta derailed things. 2024 was great though. I had a ton of fun running with friends (new and old). I did lots of group runs at Wompatuck, Blue Hills and North Hill Marsh. I started running with the Dux Trail Runners in August. I started doing Tire Crew in November (which totally could count as strength training…I still need to do more but yknow).

This one was epic, I did a big write-up on Strava and people seemed to like it, I might try to copy it here. Long story short is that shared a ton of miles with my friend Dan and he finished his first ultra!

Lizzie did this one with me :). She found one of the scavenger tokens! We were a bit underdressed for the weather, but we had a great time! I need to write more about this. Chris from Mass Ultra got some really awesome pics of Lizzie running!!!

I pulled out of this due to an injury. On father’s day I was previewing the course and pushed really hard. I was feeling good but when I stopped at the end I realized I couldn’t walk heh. This was a blessing in disguise because in the months that followed I finally got to the bottom of my foot numbness issues.

TARC Spring Classic 50k 2023

Saw Gary before the race. Briefly said hi to Dave D (Chase the summit!) before the race – I was rocking my CTS hat :). I met Matt (summited Denali!) and Chris from somerville. Shared almost a whole loop with with Dan B. I was having foot numbness/pain issues that would temporarily subside when I slowed down a little bit every few miles. I almost dropped before the last loop, but after laying around for a few minutes, the right words from the aid station folks and some coca-cola I got back out there. I hung with Matt H and Julie W afterwards at the finish cheering people in. Woah, I didn’t realize I was only 3 off from DFL.

Good vibes. Talked to Matt H before the race a bit. Shared a few loops with Rob F. I saw Emily super briefly. I packed it in a bit early because my foot was being weird.

Knee was doing better, but I wasn’t trained up enough for this one again. Really fun super cold weather this year. I did 1 loop and then dropped. again haha. One of these years I’m going to finish.

There was also some neat mainstream media coverage for this year because of the weather:

I was having some knee issues around this time and decided to pull out before the race. I did the Skyline loop at the Fells a few times in weekends before hand..and realized I wasn’t going to be able to get through enough loops in one day to finish.

This one was awesome too. It’s at Wompatuck in hingham, so it’s very close to me. I talked to Matt the race director a bit before the race. Talked to Mitch. Shared some miles with Emily and John. Hung out with Russ and Mike after.

I need to write more about this one – what a great race. Shared miles with Jim L, Chris and Mel. And tons more people. I was feeling strong at 45 (that’s my distance pr for now), but then I made stupid excuses to pack it in. I realized I forgot a sleeping bag..so I was imagining crapping out later in the race and then trying to stay warm in my tent with a towel that I had in my car, haha. I saw Gary briefly at the beginning and when I came back the next afternoon to break down my tent.

This the first official Ultra I finished – very very slow – I finished back of the pack – nearly DFL with the 50 mile folks hehe. I shared some miles with Dan B and Gary R. Super hot day, I didn’t think I was going to make it. Gary was awesome and hung with me during my low point of the race.

This was the first Ultra I signed up for – it didn’t go my way haha, I DNF’d after a loop. And I’m pretty sure I messed up a turn on that loop because I came up a mile short.

2021

Personal Project 12/2021

Strava Link

Mostly Trail 50km – 2 x 15 mile loops using my house as an aid station (Bogs, BCT, Round Pond, North Hill Marsh). This was my first time doing an "Ultra" distance. I ended up doing the last 8 miles on roads cause I was inexperienced running on trails at night.

2020

Treadmill Marathon 10/2020

Strava Link

I was supposed to run my first Marathon at the MCM 2020 with some friends. I was training mostly on my treadmill with Zwift (following the Hal Higdon Novice Marathon plan). The race was cancelled because of covid. I was really enjoying running and kept to my training schedule and decided to run it on my treadmill the same day as the race would’ve been. I’ve still never done an official marathon race.
