Run Mikey P: Run for Regis 2011
http://runmikeyp.blogspot.com/2011/01/run-for-regis-2011.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. Run for Regis 2011. The 2011 Run for Regis is one of those runs that will stick with me for quite some time. It was an epic run. The conditions were about as bad as they could be while still allowing us to actually run. It was like running on loose sand for 33 miles. In short, it was awesome! Incredible… What an effort from a young guy who undoubtedly has a future in this great sport as well. January 18, 2011 at 7:53 AM. January 18, 2011 at 4:36 PM. January 18, 2011 at 4:46 PM.

Run Mikey P: A Quick Grindstone Recap
http://runmikeyp.blogspot.com/2010/10/quick-grindstone-recap.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. A Quick Grindstone Recap. Shout outs to the other Ohio runners that represented so well at Grindstone - it turned out that I was the only person who had a bad day. In order of placing here's how the other runners faired (times are approximantions as results are not posted). Sandy Nypaver dominated the womens race winning by nearly 4 hours (23:05 if I'm not mistaken), setting a new course record! Dave now has one race to complete the Beast Series, the Hellgate 100k . Shout ou...

A marathon is a warmup...: June 2010
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Tuesday, June 1, 2010. If you’re in the mood to attempt a 200-mile race, I suggest three things: a good crew, lots of socks and some body glide. You can figure everything else out along the way. Trust me, it gets steeper (up and down) each loop. We got up somewhat early on Thursday morning, ate, and headed north to Vermont. The drive was relatively quick and took us through some scenic New Hampshire and Vermont...

A marathon is a warmup...: Mud–I love it
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2013/02/mudi-love-it.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Sunday, February 10, 2013. Mud–I love it. This post is a bit late because I wanted to save it for after I ran the Psycho Wyco. 50k this weekend. My main goal here is to convince you that running off-road is beneficial, fun, and not crazy. I think it will help in your Hospital Hill training. But first, I have to tell you how much fun I had yesterday. I ran into Larry and Coleen. The first loop around the lake wasn't...

A marathon is a warmup...: August 2011
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. I'm looking at my marathon training plan right now and I'm feeling a little inadequate. The plan is to pace 4 marathons this fall. Omaha. 4:10), Kansas City. 4:20) and St. Louis. 4:00) So, to hit those times my training plan involves "loose some weight, stupid", "run some hills, stupid", and "find a track, stupid". I'm just not motivated to train like I need to right now.

A marathon is a warmup...: Failure during training: it's OK
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2013/01/failure-during-training-its-ok.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Failure during training: it's OK. As a runner, you're one of two people. Either you've successfully run the race you're training for (or longer) already. Or, you're a total novice to running, not entirely sure what it feels like to run more than a mile at a time. One thing we all are is human (although I'm suspicious of a couple of you.you know who you are). And you know what? Look, runnin...

A marathon is a warmup...: May 2011
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Sunday, May 15, 2011. As part of my Western States. Training I ran the 2nd annual Hawk 50. At Clinton Lake State Park yesterday. The weather was perfect (as long as you weren't in the wind) and the course was in great shape, I had to look for mud. As expected the Trail Hawks. Adam and I about to head towards Bunker Hill. Photo by Chris Wristen. This was my fourth official 50-mile finish and my best by far. My t...

A marathon is a warmup...: SmartPacing Strategy
http://amarathonisawarmup.blogspot.com/2013/03/smart-pacing-strategy.html
A marathon is a warmup. Danny's ramblings about ultra-marathons and all distances shorter. Thursday, March 7, 2013. I was going to wait a few more weeks before launching into a soliloquy about how wonderful pacers are at races, then I looked at my calendar and realized we're about a month out from the start of the spring marathon/half-marathon season. Yikes! So, let's get this all out of the way early. Yes, we're all nuts, and yes, we love it. Why would you do that to a) yourself or b) others? Yeah, we h...
