Running

I run a lot. I'm also the race director for the Albuquerque Fat Ass Series.

The Albuquerque Fat Ass Series is hosted (for free, thanks!) on wordpress.com and as such it can't host the GPX files that participants might want, so I host them here.

On Thursday, August 12th, 2021 I gave, to the Albuquerque Road Runners, a brief presentation on my Hardrock 2021 experience. I had planned on writing up the notes in this book and then using them to guide my presentation, but instead I just had a few beers and talked everyone's ears off. So, I'll have to get into Hardrock again so I can do it right next time.

In my early ultra running years I benefited greatly from various blogs, including, but by no means limited to, Studies in Clydeology, The Athena Diaries, Club Dread, and the Pink Corker's. Often these blog writers had done events that I was contemplating entering and their insights helped prepare me.

However, I'm always doing something and if I had to write a good blog entry for a race, I'd never finish (because I'm a bad writer, a procrastinator and someone whose memory won't remember details when I want to write them down and whose impatience won't write memories down when I still have them). So, instead of a blog, I'm writing this book. I'm using GitHub so that I can change things over time, but not in a sneaky way to pretend I didn't say something that later turns out embarrassing, but to allow me to eventually cut dross.
