    Many of you probably know or know of Mike Melton, premier timer for many ultra races.  He's on the other side of the clock today running Ancient Oaks 100 in Florida.

    Pain is my friend

      Finished last week with 55 miles and 5k vert. Got out on some new cool trails. The trail doesn’t quite connect to this other one yet. Had to do a bit of shwacking. Not much snow in the forecast. The air is going to get really bad. I hope it doesn’t force me on to the Treadmill. If so I can start my 50k plus training on the TM early.

        I always think about that guy that got lost on the course.  It was such an odd story.

            2,129.81 for the year with 181,311 feet of ascent. Not bad, I'll take it. It seems low for an ultra runner, but I guess most people don't run an average of 5.83 miles a day normally. Quite a bit of biking, walking, hiking, and weight lifting also.

             

            Merry New Year runners! I think 2024 will be a good one.
