My infatuation with the HR100....

I haven't been a part of the ultra running community all that long, but from what I can tell the majority of ultra runners dream race is the Western States 100. While this race seems incredible, I can't help but imagine why when the Hardrock 100 is out there.

Hardrock seems like a pipe dream at this point, but I can only hope someday soon I'm able to make it to that finish line. To me Hardrock seems like the epitamy of what ultra running is. It has single track, jeep roads, absurd climbs, uber remote locations, weather, and is just plain jaw dropping beautiful.

If you've never heard of the Hardrock 100, or even if you have, I'm sure you can appreciate genuine beauty. I'm posting a few photos I recently found that make me want to "run" Hardrock even more than I already do.

Train hard and live harder...

Legit update!

I will be updating soon!

Some cool things have been happening and my running is coming along! I'm finally feeling ready to get some big mileage under my feet and start focusing on training specifically for my upcoming 50 milers!

Just real quick, I have finally decided on a 100 mile run for this year. The Arkansas Traveller 100 is definitely the race for me. It's relatively close, it's not multiple loops (just one), and it's all trail. The only thing I don't like about it is, is that it only has 8 miles of single track. The rest is jeep roads/double track.

So, I hope everyone is doing awesome and bearing through some of this ridiculous weather we've all been having! (1 ft + of snow in the Dallas area!!) Congrats to all the finishers at the Cowtown Marathon/Half Marathon/Ultra/ Etc! You guys did awesome.
