Running Plans for 2013

[stjohnthegambler]

Two FAT ASS 50Ks in January
Badger Mountain 100M (!) in March
then I think Born to Run 100M (in May?)

Would love to pace for someone on a Hundo during the summer. Depends on if and where I'm employed by then.

H2C in August
Portland Marathon
(Maybe) Quadzilla in November (4 marathons in 4 days in Seattle area on T-Day weekend)

Wow, BOB! Good luck with that!

bubba_hotep - could you let me know when registration goes up for El Scorcho? My parents live in Plano, and we're probably going to visit at that time of year. Nothing set in stone yet, though.

Good luck with the surgery, tomorrow, TJ! Hope it's the last!

Registration opens on Feb 25 and the race is July 20/21. I am going to be in Colorado the week before for work and to run the Leadville 50 mile, so I'm guessing that I will be pretty much beat by the time El Scorcho starts at midnight!

Thanks!

But you're still planning on doing it? Great! - then maybe you'll be willing to wait for my sorry behind and take me out for pancakes. Or something. I just did a road 50K and it took me about 5:20, I think. But it was cold.

If I get good news at the doc tomorrow, Nueces 50k, if not next race will be Hells Hills 50m, I am considering Pandoras Box of Rox in May or R2r2r depending on a few things... El Scorcho, Cactus Rose 100... I guess lots more up in the air than I thought when I started typing.

Yeah, I'm always up for pancakes! I would like to aim for sub-5:00 but that really depends on what kind of effort I put in the weekend before at Leadville or if I even run that race.

I decided at the end of last year that 2013 was going to be the year of testing the waters of the ultra scene. I also want to finally start getting into hills and trail running. So far on the agenda:

March 10 - Frankfurt Half Marathon (Frankfurt, Germany)
May 18 - Keufelskopf Trail 45k (Reichweiler, Germany)
June 16 - Harzer Keiler, 24km mud/obstacle run (Hörden am Harz, Germany)
September 21- Dances With Dirt 50M (Hell, MI)

I'm still looking for a 50k in mid-August, but so far it looks like it's going to be a long and lonely training run instead of a race.
@Willie: If you're up for it, maybe we can figure out some sort of BRS-Deutschland ultra run somewhere... You know lots of good running trails, right?

@Rick: Will you be anywhere near Frankfurt during your time here?

Hi Chelsea. My family had to postpone Germany for a year. We took too long on getting the plane tickets and they got too expensive.

We stay in the town of Schliersee, south of Munich, the last week of June and the first 2 weeks of July. Prior to the trip I will see if any races are nearby. It's a long time away, but if any BRS meetups or races are in the area let me know, it's not too difficult to jump on the train.

Im keeping the ultra race calendar thin this year. The motto is Race less Run More

Hollenlauf 101km (Hell Run) in May.
Berlin Wall 100 Miler in August.

Hi Chelsea. My family had to postpone Germany for a year...

Sorry to hear that! Like ypu said, 2014 is still a ways off but maybe we can get something together by then. At least nobody would be able to say the plans were made too last-minute!

With all those ascents, Antonio, I think you might run to the moon some day!

Hi Chelsea I actually do have something planned but I'm waiting till after the Rennsteig to announce it... Or not ;-)
