Quickly Touching Base

Today marks one month since I finished the Burning River 100 Mile Endurance Run, but I have yet to write anything about it. That will change, in time, when I find enough time to do the whole experience justice. Until then I will just note that my finishing time was 27 hours, 6 minutes, and a handful of seconds.

I should also note that I haven't been doing nothing in these four weeks. I recovered for a week, went on vacation to Bar Harbor, ME for a week, and have raced two 5Ks, one cross country and one road. The cross country race was held at Buckeye High School here in Medina. I finished in 22:43 and was the 2nd male in the Open Division. The road 5K was this past Sunday, also here in Medina. I finished that in 20:40 and was 2nd in my age group. Afterward I ran with a group back into town for nearly 9 more miles.

I've been battling some aches and pains since BR, but they're slowly getting better. NC24 is 2 1/2 weeks away and I'm hoping to be healed and ready to go by then. Time will tell.
