Long time no update. No good reason for that, unless the general excuse of being busy counts…
So in typical fashion here is a brief post. A week after the AC fail was a trip to Austria with a little bit of running every morning and walking all day every day through cities. Since there was no injury lingering from the race, “recovery” was really quick and I was 100% mobile.

Since then I have been ramping up mileage a bit in preparation for the Santa Monica Mountains 50k at the end of November. Nicole will be running the 18k with Figgy, and Stitch will be running his first 50k (in a homemade version of Luna sandals). The course is up in Malibu and pretty familiar to me as I’ve run it a couple times, so I know what to expect (as much as one can). I know I have not run this one to potential, so hopefully I can pull together a solid race.
Oh, and of course, I have already registered for next years AC100. I’m pretty excited about the challenge and opportunity to run through some awesome trails again.
One last note, I just realized a couple days ago marked the 4 year anniversary of summiting Mount Katahdin…marking the end of my 123 day thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. Good memories…
