I am registered for a race in August called the TDS put on by UTMB. It is a race that starts in Courmayeur, IT and ends in Chamonix, FR. I did it in 2022, but ended up calling it quits at 100k in. I had two injuries I was dealing with that year, but I tried anyway. It is super hard, 94 miles with 30,000 feet of elevation gain, but you only live once.

A race like that you train months for, so I have already started.

That is intense! Good luck with it. Not any human can do that...

Shaking some dust off this one.

Saturday I did a color run 5k. I had been training at about 35:00, but hadn't covered the full 5 since I signed up about 4 weeks ago.

Competition being what it is, I finished chip time of 32:25. Not bad for a fat old man. . .

My first Half Marathon coming up this Sunday. My goal was to do it under 2 hours but from my training I don't think I'm getting anywhere near that.

See my note above about the difference between training and competition timing

First Half Marathon in 2:09. Not under 2 like I originally wanted but I'm not upset with it. Felt pretty good through most of it but it's starting to catch up to me now.
