Ran a 100k relay a few weeks back. Running a half this weekend. Might run the Asheville Spartan in July. I would like to do some trail races this year but not sure I can fit them in. Kids activities are killing me.

Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that turkey hunting is an addictive activity that will disrupt normal sleep patterns!
Spring training started for me and the rest of my old fart baseball buddies. First game of the year is March 29th. Just hoping the good lord sees fit to let me stay healthy for another year of reliving my glory days with good friends.
they let you play quarterback?
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Recouping from surgery still. Not much I can do. Been a boring past couple weeks.
Did the Run Free Trail Run on Hunting Island State Park. 5k, 5 miles, and 10 miles. Ended up being 18.3 total miles. Farthest I've run since my Marine Corps days. Felt good.
I hit some golf balls yesterday on a monitor. my sole cardio training besides walking once a week or so on the course, is playing Gonna Fly Now either on the speakers or on video and air punching.
I went bowling last night
I jog/walked .47 miles yesterday. The first time I've been able to jog since rupturing my achilles back in December. Physical therapist gave me the green light yesterday morning to ease into it, I walked straight out the door and headed to the park to give it a go.
Gonna be hard to find the line between too much and just right. I am anxious to get going again.

Work re-located us from Pawleys to East TN back in November and I started getting back into shape after deer hunting these public mountains a handful of times in December. Swimming 7 miles a week, Mountain Biking 30+ miles a week, 10 mile run every three weeks (my knees can't handle any more than that) and doing a 5+mile hike every weekend in the Cherokee NF or GSMNP with my 1.5 year old daughter on my back in our backpack carrier. I've dropped from 200 lbs. to 175 lbs. since the move and have put on a lot of muscle...feels damn good to be healthy again and it will certainly make saddle hunting the mountains a little easier this Fall.
I've got lots of respect for you fellas that run these ultras, it seems that the 3 years I spent in the Rocky's after college skiing 100+ days a year took a toll on my knees!

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-
