This is the hill that my daughter, Madelyn, ran all the way to the top by herself, a climb of several hundred meters. She ran non-stop, uphill and downhill, without falling and without fear. This is her "Red Mountain."




To the right is a war-path located on top of the Red Mountain, unbeknownst to many. This award-winning photograph was taken after hours of awaiting the proper filtration of sunlight through nature's canopy of leaves. It is entitled, "Limb Awry."

Very soggy ground made it more difficult, but the last 10-15 minutes were the best with it feeling fully functional and 100%. Good run, good fitness. Haven't had a run over 7:00/mi!

A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN RICHES AND MUSCLE...

Mo, 11/14/2016 7 mile regeneration down the Rail Trail in 48:31 * avg. 7:41/mi... dead. Not recovered yet. Ouch.  Tu, 11/15/2016 3 mile regeneration down Union Church Rd. in 23:11 * avg. 7:41/mi.. SuperMoon killed me. Not recovered. Absolutely no energy. Weird. We, 11/16/2016 2 mile warm-up, 2 x (1000m + 300m) in 3:12-53, 3:11-53 with 1:45/4:00 rest * avg. 76.4" / 70.6"... not bad. Wish I would've done all three as planned, but was nervous since I was all-out. Goal was 74" and 69" pace, so I missed it. Super cold (35-degrees) and just not fast enough, but great workout.  Th, 11/17/2016 AM: 12K light fartlek thru Baltimore with 40" on every 3' after 3 mi in 48:47 * avg. 6:44/mi... pleasantly surprised. Was a bit worried about my right IT-band, but last night's sleep helped out a ton. Got out there, feeling cruising and strong, but by the turn-around my left foot was landing awkwardly and tight, but I started 40" on every 3:00 after th...
