I was also a little too close to the situation in the recent shooting at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. This and the grind of flying twice a week for the past 2.5 years has helped me make the decision to get off the road!
Oh yeah, and later this year (or early next), I plan to tackle a 50 miler to try and qualify for the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run. It's real if I put it online, so I'm gonna go for it. Injuries have plagued me, but I can run slow for a long time, without too much pain!
What's on my upcoming schedule?
- Asheville Beer Week (Asheville, NC)
- Prefontaine Classic (Eugene, OR)
- New Balance Nationals Outdoor (Greensboro, NC)
- USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships (Des Moines, IA)
- Hopscotch Music Festival (Raleigh, NC)
