The Week of May 19-25, 2008

May 29, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 6 Comments 

Synopsis of Week’s Training:Oh, what a sweet week of consistent training and restoration of my joie de vivre. I didn’t get in the mega-mileage I had planned if I headed out to the mountains (which I did), but I am one week closer to regaining my fitness. Read on for more details regarding my training [...]

Bonus: JFK 50 Mile Photo Contest

May 23, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments 

After the avalanche of great JFK 50 photos we received, we think it would be unfair not to give the JFK photos the same treatment the DC-area trails contest submissions received. Therefore, iRunFar is holding a second photo contest this Memorial Day weekend. Not only are we going to hold a vote to determine which [...]

Vote for Your Favorite DC-Area Trail Photos!

May 23, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 4 Comments 

Wow, up until a few hours ago, iRunfar’s first contest was a complete and total flop. However, a last minute surge from readers has left us with plenty of quality shots of DC-area trails. In fact, it was quite difficult choosing the 10 finalists. Y’all can put down your cameras now and get to voting [...]

Photo Contest: DC-Area Trails (and JFK, too!)

May 21, 2008 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

If you are looking for fame and fortune, you came to the wrong place. However, iRunFar is running its first contest, which offers the possibility of publication in a national running magazine and some shoe money. To be more specific, iRunFar is looking for photographs of or from DC-area trails in connection with a forthcoming [...]

The Week of May 12-18, 2008

May 18, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 4 Comments 

Synopsis of Week’s Training:This week’s running did not turn out exactly as planned, but the deviations were probably for the better and it was a great week nonetheless. Read on for a summary of my training this week. Monday I broke a cardinal rule the cardinal rule – Never miss a run, because you were [...]

2008 MMT 100 Updates Combined

May 17, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 11 Comments 

iRunFar hates strongly dislikes clutter. While iRunFar’s separate MMT Updates served their purpose during the race, they clutter up the blog. Therefore, we’ve taken them and combined them into one post. Other than some tidying up of the format and a few corrections, they remain the same. The now read in chronological order, as well. [...]

What's Your Favorite Trail Inside the Beltway?

May 16, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 8 Comments 

I know there are quite a few iRunFar readers inside the beltway. As many of these beltway insiders will be stopping by for iRunFar’s Massanutten 100 coverage this weekend, it seems like an ideal time to ask: What are your favorite trails within the Capitol Beltway and why? While I know many of the local [...]

Test of the iRunFar Trailside Posting System

May 15, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 1 Comment 

Alright, some folks seem to want play-by-play from the MMT course this weekend. If this post is successful (and there’s a cell signal in Fort Valley), we’ll go live from trailside early this weekend. An early warning/apology to RSS subscribers who don’t want to follow MMT this weekend. iRunFar will be posting individual updates rather [...]

2008 Massanutten 100 – Women's Race Preview

May 13, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 4 Comments 

While women’s field at this year’s Massanutten 100 does not have the numbers the men’s field does (20 ladies in the race versus 140 lads), it promises to be an interesting race in its own way.  With so many very talented men in the race, someone is going to end up nailing a fast time [...]

2008 Massanutten 100 – Men's Race Preview

May 12, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 30 Comments 

Race fans get ready, ’cause there’s sure to be some spectacular racing in Virginia’s Massanutten Mountains this weekend! I was excited when the initial field was drawn up in December of last year and that excitement hasn’t waned a bit. With the lack of genetic freaks like Matt Estes, Karl Meltzer, and Sim Jae-Duk in [...]
