Friday Thoughts 102
Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts, where I share what’s been on my mind and in my feed this week. Let’s get into it.
Big’s Backyard Ultra
The original backyard ultra went down last week (and this week) as it always does in Tennessee. This years winner, Phil Gore ran 475 (not a typo) miles over 113 hours — that’s 4.2 miles every hour on the hour until no one is left. What’s more impressive than the nearly 500 miles is the crazy sleep deprivation is takes to pull something like this.
Great Bay 5k
Last race of the year is tomorrow—the Great Bay 5k—starting at Stratham Hill Park and running down to the Great Bay Discovery Center. I’m nervous for the pain and anxious to get it over with!
Kettlebell History Lesson
This was informative about the history and origination of the kettlebell.
Eye of the World
I’ve been nervous to read Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time Series because it’s just expansive—14 books! I finally cracked open book 1, the Eye of the World, and while it’s still early on I think I’m already hooked.
See you in the gym!
