ICY-8 Adventure Trail Run
Run Bulldog Run &bull Today
Just wanted to take a few moments to jot down some thoughts on yesterday's ICY-8 Adventure Trail Race - another great event put on by the Athletic Equation guys.

The race was unique in that you could either choose to run a short loop (4.7 miles with about 350ft of elevation gain/loss), or the longer 8 mile loop with about 640ft elevation gain/loss.

Run 100 Miles &bull Jan 30, 2012
Apparently this has been the 7th rainiest month in Huntsville history and leading up to the Mountain Mist 50K, chatter was developing on the social networks, running lists and face-to-face conversations concerning the conditions of the Monte Sano trails for Saturday's race. It appears, and I say appears 'cuz I'm known for flip-flopping completely like I never actually learned a damn thing, but it APPEARS that I'm finally starting to understand pacing better -- and its all because of this pesky ankle injury. But, the injury forces me to take races easy. I'm constantly concerned about the weakened ankle, and… Full Story »
