Hunker down, keep your eyes fixed ahead, and run like hell.
WOULDA-COULDA-SHOULDA
All the Woulda-coulda-shouldas
Layin’ in the sun,
Talkin’ ’bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done…
But those woulda-coulda-shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little did.

Since Dec 12, 2009 I have been awaiting this event. I asked Mr. Bimble to put Hellgate on the upcoming events list… 364 days until Hellgate.

Either way I knew I had to go back. [Read more…] about Hellgate 2010

Since the first time I have heard of the Spring Loop, I have been trying to get out of running it. As it turned out the times it had been run by other Bimbler’s I had not been able to go. For a short time I thought I might see how long I could hold out from getting roped into running it. Deemed by Ultra to be the significant mental and possibly physical challenge to training for long distance events it seemed fitting to run the Spring Loop before Hellgate. It also happened that the best date for me to run it was on my birthday. So on Nov.14th I ran my first Spring Loop!! [Read more…] about Loopy’s Spring Fall (The Big Four O)
Burning River 100

Instead of waiting until the end to tell you how AMAZING my crew team and pacers were I am going to tell you this first. I would never have made it without them although they might protest. All I wanted to know each time I saw them was when do I see you again. That was as far ahead as I could think, and I never thought back. [Read more…] about Burning River 100
