    Default 31 mile trail ultra & Ascends!

    What do these have in common you ask? Well, last Saturday I ran a 31 mile trail race in hilly Punxsutawney PA (and got my photo with movie star / celebrity groundhog Phil)... but on Sunday I was so sore I could barely navigate so I just fired up the home theater and watched movies & listened to hi-rez mc music Sunday and Monday night after work!

    Here I am with Phil, my wife, and John Griffiths (part of Phil's entourage).

    If I had run a 31 mile hilly trail race, I'd be immobile till....December? Definitely, congratulations. It's great having a wife that tolerates this type of insanity, yes?

    Thanks guys! My 340's were better than getting a massage afterwards!

    I kept telling my wife how much fun these races are and how nice ultra runners are... she came along to this one and had a GREAT time, I think she was pleasantly surprised! She got to know some of the other wives and had a lot of fun. But yes, she probably figures running and home theater are two vices that are 'better' than most!

    Congrats Tom! Take out that race, and our weekends were really similar, lol. Is it me, or does Phil look really PO'd.

    You're right, he DOES look a bit grouchy in that photo! Maybe all of the camera flashes were bugging him, but you'd think he would be used to that on the Hollywood red carpet, movie premieres, etc.
