"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." -- Abraham Lincoln. Plan for 2016 (so far) Grandma's Marathon in June, Carmel 8-hour Dream in July. I'm dreaming that I might get 36-40 miles in in eight hours, assuming the axe is sharp enough. Let's rock!

My Achilles heel
My right Achilles tendon, which has banished me from running since December 5--until today. And somehow, the world seems better, if only by a mile.
Things ain't what they used to be
Two guys just came into Hunters pub, tripling the number of customers. What the hell is Boxing Day coming to anyway?

Must not let old(er) lady pass old man. End of the Sankt Nikolaus Day Lauf this morning. We tied. The games always end in a tie.
Me and my pal, Krampus
Hanging out with Krampus, again, before the annual Sankt Nikolaus Day Lauf 5-miler this morning.

IPA and goat, a combination made in...
Goat sliders wrapped in naan and a "dank" (said the bartender) IPA at an Indian grocery and pub with many tasty craft brews on tap and lots of pierced and tattooed people. It's Austin baby.

Mile 19 in the Marine Corps Marathon. I feel their pain. (Even so, I'd like to be out there.)

She's back
She's back! Guy at the hotel: You should take a cab, it's about a mile and a half. Me: Oh I can probably walk that (and thinking: a mile and a half, heh, heh, heh).

Not a bad run
12 half marathons, 2 marathons and 1 50K (plus those extra 2 miles I added running down the wrong trail). Like 'em all, but the little tan clay number is my fav. Says it's not about the finish (and what they hang around your neck when you get there). It's what you get on the way to getting there that matters.

I'm not moving too fast this morning, but I have to say, all things considered, I feel pretty darn good.

Thoughts on the run
What do I think about when I am spending most of the day running 33 miles (I goofed and took a wrong side trail then had to back track, which added a couple unplanned miles)? Today, I thought about my grandfather's three-legged collie Queenie...and how that damn dog could run faster than me. As race medals go, it's kind of homely, but I'm rather fond of it. The dog was quick. She couldn't go long though.

50K on the docket Sunday morning so early to bed tomorrow night, but tonight in downtown Plymouth, WI, Wisconsin Brewing Co. Yankee Buzzard IPA in a chilly mug. Priceless. No, $2. Now that's priceless.

Gonna make a move to a town that's right for me…taper town
10. Last long(ish) run before making a run at 50K on the Ice Age Trail next Sunday. I'd like a little less wet and windy, but can't say I didn't train in it.

13 is my lucky number
I had a hard week, but nothing running 13.1 miles in the woods couldn't cure. Knobstone Trail Mini was its usual satisfyingly brutal self. That's 12. The goal for the year was a dozen half marathons, one a month (plus some other stuff). I'm three months early so, what the hell, I might just make it a baker's dozen.

Anything is possible with the proper incentive
Today I eradicated the (kind-of) word "incentivize" from a piece of copy and I feel like I earned a beer. As good an excuse as many.
Saturday, September 12, 2015
Peace out
Some kid on the trails: "You look like a man who knows what he's doing." Me: "If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be doing this." The surf-board toting Bug is for not being the slowest slow old(er) guy to finish today.

Light on the limbering
Yoga class at Run Woodstock. I did not participate because I'm running the Mellow (yeah, right) Marathon in the morning and didn't want to pull anything vital.

Boom Shakalaka!
I ran No. 11 because it had a funny name and started, as well as ended, on a velodrome. Plus 8 this morning makes 21 for the day, the last big day before Run Woodstock weekend and the Mellow Marathon two weeks hence. "Mellow" Marathon, who are they kidding? Boom Shakalaka!

Riding the bull
Well first you gotta wanna get off bad enough to get on in the first place. A thought that comes at mile 20 of a 21 miler courtesy of Rodney Crowell and Norah Jones and Bull Rider.

Slow mo
Nasty hill just before the finish line was plain mean. Beaver Chase half marathon on some surprisingly good trails in downtown Indy. I didn't see any dam-building rodents to chase. I think I could have taken them. That's 10 halfs for 2015.

Planning ahead (just a little)
Well, I know what I'll be doing the morning of April 30, 2016 (and hopefully only the morning of). I'm pretty sure of my plans for the evening, too, assuming the Esquire Lounge stays in business. Illinois Marathon registration day.

What's that big yellow ball in the sky?
Perfect day for No. 9; third half on the trails at Eagle Creek this year, but only the first in the daylight (and the second without it snowing on us).
