Day 4,271—So Cold!—

 

     I am so glad I didn’t need to do a lot of miles today because it was freezing. I caught myself looking down at the sidewalk because there was this big spot that was unfinished. I thought about taking a picture of it, and then I tripped. I caught myself, but my left leg has been aching in pain ever since.

I looked at last year’s post, and I only ran 8 full marathons in 2024. I only completed 8 ultra-races this year: one 50-mile race, one 6-hour race, five 100-mile races, one 24-hour race, and one 200-mile race. In 2024, I completed 6 ultra races: one 100K, two 100-mile races, one 50-mile race, one 6-hour race, and one 9-hour race. In 2023, I did 7 ultra-races but only one 100-mile race. If I do 6 a year, that seems pretty good because then I am averaging a race every other month. In 2026, I aim to complete five 100-mile races and at least two other ultra-marathons, but maybe I can do more. I also need to let my body recover so more stretching and meditation.
