My good friend Jeremy Lock came from South Carolina to photograph my 100 mile adventure. JT, as we call him, is the four time Military Photographer of the Year and has also been awarded the Bronze Star. You can read about it here. His photos of my Oil Creek 100 Mile Trail Run will be images I look back on for the rest of my life.
I was warned about post race depression. After so much training and focus it's hard to sit on the couch and eat cheese steaks and ice cream. I've been doing exactly that. It's been 8 days since the race and I am ready for new beginnings. I am excited that my run has put my photography in a new light. I feel I have more direction where I want to go as a photographer. I'm excited to get back behind the camera and explore the personalities of people.
As far as long distance running goes ... I told my wife after the race to NEVER let me do that to myself again. I then reminded her again when we got home and the pain really set in. I love her completely, but she failed miserably. I begin training today for the Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler in Texas Feb. 6-7. I don't expect it, or anything, will ever be like my first 100 miler, but I look forward to relentlessly moving forward.
Here is a photo montage video I created with JT's pictures and two of my favorite running songs by LaRue I listen to on the trails.
