This evening I went to write today’s journal entry in my copy of the 2012 Runner’s Almanac and realized that today’s quote was quite appropriate. “Pain Is Temporary. Quitting is Forever.” –Lance Armstrong I drove down with some friends the GAC Fat Ass 50k this morning with the intention of running all 5 [...]

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Yesterday, I wrote about preparing to run 50 miles and the handicaps and advantages that I had over my first 50 miler 3 years ago. I laid out my race strategy, and today I would like to share how the execution of that strategy went. The morning began with a 4:30 continental breakfast at the [...]

My first 50 mile race was almost 3 years ago, right after the new year in 2009. It was the Running from an Angel 50 Miler in Henderson, Nevada. In the year leading up to that race, I ran 2614 miles, averaging about 50 miles per week over that year which included a lot of [...]

Relentless Forward Progress – Book Review

By Blaine Moore on Monday, August 15th, 2011 | No Comments

Bryon Powell does a good job of covering a lot of different topics that the curious marathoner would want to know about taking the next step. Where he falls short, however, is in the format that that information is presented in, at [...]

Maine’s 100 Mile Wilderness

By Blaine Moore on Monday, June 20th, 2011 | 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I was invited to run Maine’s 100 Mile Wilderness, a stretch of the Appalachian Trail where there are no towns and only a few road crossings. The fastest known time for this stretch of the trail is about 39.5 hours, so a bunch of the Trail Monsters and their friends decided [...]
