Family fun run/snowball fight. The snow won’t last long, but wow, is it ever beautiful on top of the autumn foliage.

Now that I’ve run my slowest (i.e. most difficult) 100 mile race at Mogollon Monster I’ve discovered the code I use to generate my Race Results page has a bug for durations longer than 24 hours.

My favorite race is the Black Squirrel Half Marathon. After running it the past four years I decided to skip it this year, as it fell just one week before the Mogollon Monster 100. I made a video instead.

Mogollon Monster 100 done and dusted. That was the hardest race I’ve ever done, and I couldn’t have realistically expected it to go any better. My 24h56m finish was good for 4th place.

My 8yo son wants to do an exclusive little race called The Barkley Marathons. Yesterday he met & walked 21 miles with the race director Laz in Wyoming as Laz makes his way across the USA.
