Ultra Slow.the making of an ultra runner. Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Let's see if I can back up and retrace my steps for One Epic Run. 24 hour race which took place Dec 7th at Croft State Park/Spartanburg, SC. (Photo credit: Viktor Trukov and Stephanie Moore). I originally signed up for this race with the base goal of completing the marathon distance (26.2 miles), but quickly decided I was going all in and declared my intention to complete 50 kilometers (31 miles). Go big or go home is my motto. It was pr...

+FillUs: Annihilator 50K: An honest effort
http://phyllisneriah.blogspot.com/2013/08/annihilator-50k-honest-effort.html
Annihilator 50K: An honest effort. The Annihilator 50K was put on by Mark Connolly and Tim Woden from Bigfoot Trail Runners. As I stiffen up and as pain increased, I was reminded not to lose sight of the beauty and joy while in trials. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.". WV Trilogy - Part 1. Vac and Da...

Upward Over The Mountain: December 2012
http://jonharrisons.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Upward Over The Mountain. Sunday, December 16, 2012. I've realized this week that I am very much driven by results. I like to have tangible, maybe statistical, evidence that I am progressing in some way, be it as an athlete or as a person. Run We then realize that there will always. Be someone faster than us. But, HA! Progress can continue, because regardless of how fast everyone else may be, I can always become faster than that other "me". Saturday, December 8, 2012. I had wanted to do this at some poin...

Upward Over The Mountain: March 2013
http://jonharrisons.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Upward Over The Mountain. Friday, March 29, 2013. From The Mountains To The Sea. There's a kind of luck that's not much more than being in the right place at the right time, a kind of inspiration that's not much more than doing the right thing in the right way, and both only really happen to you when you empty your heart of ambition, purpose, and plan; when you give yourself to the golden, fate-filled moment.". A Character in the book I'm reading. Beginning at Adam's house, a couple of miles off the Moun...

Upward Over The Mountain: Late Summer
http://jonharrisons.blogspot.com/2013/08/late-summer_30.html
Upward Over The Mountain. Friday, August 30, 2013. Life has been a whirlwind of joy lately. I've found myself saying, "It sure feels like fall out here", quite frequently. I guess it's about time I accepted that summer is winding down and breathe in the colors of the autumn in Colorado. These are a few things that I've engaged in the past month:. I went to Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario (west of Lake Superior), with a wonderful group of people. Me, Anna, Matthew, Rachel, Bill, Drew, and Paul, my dad.

Sunday, September 28, 2014. Beginning in October, I will be working for the Florida Trail Association. I look forward to exploring and helping to build this 1,000 mile National Scenic Trail. But face the quandary of being away from Lily and Gainesville for extended chunks of time. At least one piece of the puzzle has been solved. Map of original route, modifications described in post. For the inspiration). Starting in a counter-clockwise direction, the loop immediately climbs Kitsuma Peak, then desce...
