Quick HURT 100 2014 Update

Aloha,

I have some great news!

This morning my entry into the 2014 edition of the HURT 100 miler was accepted! Time to start getting back to work on the trails. I am starting to feel recovered from Javelina and I will likely hit up my first easy run back in the morning. I might also add the 12 hour New Years Resolution run at the end of December with Jeff as a practice night run for the HURT.

That is about it for now.

We are also working on a Run With Garrison logo and some shirts will likely follow…

Keep on Running

Michael

    If this were me, I would be happy to get in the race but then a little worried when I remembered it was 100 miles.

      Keith, as usual you are correct. The 100 miles will be tough, but the gnarly footing and the 25,000 feet of climbing will certainly put me in the hurt locker. Maybe I can persuade you to head out here that weekend for a little fun! More details to follow.

    Congrats on getting into the Hurt 100, Mike. I did some investigation into just what it is you signed up for here and I can say without a doubt, you are a mad man, my friend! 5000ft ascent and decent on each of five 20 mile laps. That in itself is HURT enough. But the trail is, as I am sure you know, wicked rough. One suggestion; work on your hip flexor strength. Good luck on the preparation for this one, may illness and injury stay far far away.

      Thanks Cuz! The HURT 100 is no joke–you are completely correct. A big part of my training plan is to spend at least half of my runs on the same trails that host the race. I think yoga with Pauline 1-2 times a week might also help a bunch. I hope all is well!
