Goals for 2011 -
Run & Finish The 2011 South Carolina Ultra Trail Series (5 Races)
- 40 Miler (Enoree)
- 50K (Chattooga & FATS)
- 24 Hour Run (Woods Ferry)
- 50+ Miler (Long Cane)
Run 100 Miles (Not sure where or when yet)
Run the 50K distance under 6:00.
Complete the 77 mile Foothills Trail under 36 hours.
Pace / Crew a friend to her first 100 mile finish at Massanutten.
Possibly Pace / Crew for some other runners.
For me, running is about sharing, learning, and growing. Much of this comes alone in training, but it also happens during group runs or races. I’m thankful for all of the friends that I’ve made through this sport. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but some of the highlights that I have pictures for.
Sweeping Laurel Valley & Meeting Weezy & Elson during the battle…

100 Mile Belt Buckles – They are hard to get, but worth every step… 
Coming up short, but seeing your friends get it done!

ReplyDelete2011 is going to be a great year Big E! Great post!

ReplyDelete"For me, running is about sharing, learning, and growing." You said it, Big Easy.
I am so thankful that our paths crossed in 2010 and resulted in such a fine friendship. I love you, man:)))
I thought about you earlier today, Jason, and went looking for you. This is an excellent post and I enjoyed seeing how far you've come.
ReplyDeleteI've got a lot on my plate, but I may show up at Enoree Passage 40. I want to run Pinhoti 100 in November as my first 100 attempt. No Long Cane for me this year, unfortunately, because I have the Black Mountain Monster 24 Hour the following week.
I hope to see you at some races this year, because it's been great keeping in touch.
The blonde that you stuck your tongue out at during the half marathon...is she single? I'm just curious.
Nice plans (and review) Jason...best of luck in 2011! Hope our paths cross again soon...
