Today I ran the Kansas Rails to Trails Extravaganza.
The races were a live event:
Half marathon
Marathon
50k
50miler
100k
100 miler

I’ve been training for this day seriously for 12 weeks.
It was a beautiful morning for a 13.1 race.
37* and no wind on a flat course.
I really like running in the cooler weather.
I finished in 1.55.23. That works out to 8.48 per mile average, with my last mile being my fastest at 8.23.

I saw a buddy who I train with a from the Kenukan early this morning. He was running the 50 miler. He is a young guy that was in the Navy. He is definitely hardcore.

My awesome wife took some pictures and cheered me on!

So I’ve got two races in this year, a cross country 5k 3 weeks ago and this Half...I feel blessed that I’ve been able to get out and run. I’ve never been the fastest or even close to the fastest but it’s been a blast!

I have no regrets but I would have liked to run the Billy Miles 10k this November.I don’t think it’s going to happen this year.
He has been one of my many inspirations along with truckster.
Thank you truckster... Esprit de Corpse.
I can’t wait til spring.... gotta run
