Upcoming events

Back to running again... right foot is feeling much better. Follow-up x-ray was negative for a stress fracture. Soft tissue (ligament) damage is healing. I was able to run 5 miles w/o pain today.

100 on 100 Vermont Relay

It's official, Kristin and I are now on a 6 person relay team for the Vermont 100 on 100 (Heart of Vermont) relay.

The 100 on 100 relay is a team based distance running experience. The event starts early in the morning and most participants finish between 8:30 PM-10:30 PM. The total distance is 100 miles and the course follows scenic route 100 the entire way. Our course displays all the angles Vermont has to offer from small towns and farms, to mountains and lakes. This event serves as a charity fundraiser for Vermont based youth charities that promote active and healthy lifestyles in support of self-esteem development.

The race is August 15th 2009.

This will be my 2nd year in the race. Last year we had a few issues, including but not limited to 1. Only having 5 people. 2. Last minute replacements 3. Shin splints for 2 of the runners. 4. Attitude problems :)

It was hilarious!
