Once again, a bit behind in creating some masterful post. This past weekend brought me to the Red Hot 50k down in Moab, Utah. The competition here is usually pretty solid, this year was no different. I had no real goals this time around, it being only two weeks after running 14:17 at the Rocky Read More
Needless to say, it’s been a busy month: I have been going non-stop for the past 30 days. Running, working, building a luge run, putting up signs, shoveling snow, doing a podcast, cleaning up my flooded basement, going to the doctor, working some more, buying new appliances…..well, I think we all get the picture, sometimes Read More
OK, so this will be the first of many “Speedgoat Odds” predictions for races in 2012. The Bandera 100k looks like a good start, so here we go….. 1. Dave Mackey 3-2. Dave goes in as the favorite being the record holder, and is gonna have to run fast to win, but his track record Read More
“Americans who are not in the ‘NYRRC’ club will pay $255, while non-U.S. citizens will pay $347”. I woke up this morning and was just disturbed reading this. Kinda gives me the willies, could you imagine paying 300 bucks to run a 50k with real aid stations, big mountains, and more than just water Read More
This year has been quite interesting. It was going pretty well until the deluge in Ojai, California at the C2M 100. But let’s start at the beginning. Warning, this may be a long read….I ran a total of 10 races, one of them being a short marathon in the foothills of SLC, two 50’s and Read More
Jay Aldous throws it down again!!! And I thought I was old and kinda fast. 🙂 In Jay’s 3rd 100 since mid October…(yah, that’s 3 in 2 months time) He’s run 3 fast 100s. 15:20 ish at Pony Express in mid October, 15:06 at Javelina in early November, and now a stunning 13:52 on a boring Read More
Finally we’ve got a 100 mile race with a real purse! The “Goal” is to bring the purse to $100,000, where the world’s best 100 mile runners can chase each other around Steamboat, Colorado, and actually go home with some real money to pay the mortgage, or perhaps even buy a car. The 100k is not Read More

ONCE AGAIN HIT THE COMMENTS ICON TO READ THE WHOLE POST. GEEEEEEZ. Well, this past weekend was a success. 100 mile win #31. The Pinhoti 100 is certainly a gem of a course. 86% singletrack, all in the woods near Mt. Cheaha in Northeastern Alabama. If you ever get a chance to run here, you Read More
