Before January comes to an end, I wanted to take some time to share with everyone my goals for 2019. As a general rule of thumb, I tend to do more and more every year because, well, why not. That said, 2019 was to be a down year, but, as you will see, that really isn’t the case. Here is a list of races I am doing this year:

• January – Rocks and Roots 50k
• February – Rocks and Roots 50k
• March – Rock and Roll DC half marathon
  • Tobacco Road marathon
  • Ohio’s Backyard Ultra
  • Hot Chocolate (Indianapolis) 15k – 11 min/ mile pacer
• April – Umstead 100
• May – Bob’s Big Timber Backyard ultra
  • Ozone 48 hour race
• September – Barkley Fall Classic
• November – Tunnel Hill 100

Ok, so March gets pretty busy and then it levels off a bit in the summer, but that will likely change as the year progresses. I really have 3 big races this year, Ozone 48 hour, Barkley Fall Classic, and Tunnel Hill. In the 48 hour race, I want to hit at least 150 miles, with a super stretch goal of 200. I want to survive the Barley Fall Classic. I want to go under 20 hours at Tunnel Hill.

There you have it, my races for the year.
