Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Are you injured, or taking a bit of an off-season?

From Wesley Hunt on Fri, Jan 06, 2017 at 05:35:13 from 162.192.69.49

Taking a bit of an off-season (the plan is through February) to nurse lingering abdominal and groin issues dating back months. I had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery last May but raced in September and October.

I hope this gives me an opportunity to train at 100% for the first time in a long time.

Thanks for inquiring.

Nice work, Wesley! How did it feel?

Felt good, Mike. Ran 20 Friday, mowed my yard yesterday, and stretched it out this morning...things moving in the right direction.

Looks like you had a pretty solid effort this morning as well (and a great post to go with it).

Returned to Northwest Arkansas for another romp around Hobbs State Park in the War Eagle Tail Twister 50K.

I ran hard and executed my plan on a hot day with 95% humidity.  The effort was good for a second place overall finish in 4:07:12 (7:58/mile), over two minutes under the previous course record.

But the new course record belongs to race winner, Nick Lewis, who's back in Arkansas and running really well. Nick, who was runner-up at Leadville back in 2008, finished just under 4 hours, which is pretty damn impressive given the heat and humidity.  I enjoyed running and chatting with Nick for the first half of the race. 

Okies were well-represented as well, with Victor Brown coming in third in 4:10.  Victor's extremely talented, and if he locks in his nutrition planning, he'll be tough to beat.

Big thanks to James, Mike and Rush Running Co. for putting on such a top-notch event. And, of course, I want to praise all the volunteers and Hobbs State Park staff for their work and dedication.

That's good work on a hotel treadmill! Last time I was in Chattanooga was 2000 when I was watching my Furman Paladins lose to Montana 13-6 in the I-AA championship game.

Chattanooga is a great spot for family vacations...kids had a blast.

Pretty darn good trail system too. Unfortunately, we were only there three nights and didn't have a great opportunity to take advantage of it. Stinger's Ridge was the best we could manage on Sunday afternoon.

Furman, huh? Great memories despite the loss I'm sure. Hope all is well.

42 Miles in 7 hours on a hot and humid day in Central Arkansas.

From my home in Little Rock, I ran west, mostly along state highways and county roads, including several miles of gravel in the Lake Norrell area, which is where my rescue team (Mom, Max, and Sophia) picked me up before returning to the public swimming area for a refreshing dip in the Lake. I ran with a Timex, and the mileage above includes an estimated 5.5 Miles during the hour or so I was "lost" (followed two separate roads with no outlet!).

Fortunately, there was a gas/grocery country store just when I needed it most. I ran the first 27.5 Miles with only 50 ozs of water mixed with Tailwind in a CamelBak. After four hours, including the dead ends and backtracking, I was spent mentally and physically. So I regrouped for 15 minutes (not reflected in time but probably should be), drank 2 liters of water and a liter of Gatorade, and visited with the locals, whom, to a person, all offered me rides in various directions! I eventually pulled myself together, walked 5 Miles and continued hydrating, and ran the final 10 Miles at a respectable ultra shuffle given the hills and conditions.

While the day didn't go exactly as planned, that may have made it even better. Got my mileage and heat training in, was reminded of folks' kindness in God's country, and had an unplanned swim with my two oldest kids.

Probably 44 Miles for the day including 2 Miles walking at park with Charley.

After staying up late to watch MP get robbed from some homecooking, I cleaned the house a bit and then prepped for a trail run on a hot and humid Arkansas Summer day in the Ouachita National Forest (as an aside, my lovely wife and crew chief, Diana, is in Michigan with my youngest...some dudes party...I just run more).

Starting from Lake Sylvia near the base of FSR 152, I ran up FSR 152 for 1.5 Miles before turning right on FSR 132 and heading another 5.5 Miles before turning back. I ran these 14 FSR Miles in 2:02, and then ran another 2 Miles of pavement up to Camp Ouachita and back to car at base of FSR 152.

So I covered the Full Moon 25K course in 2:19, but started at the 2-Mile Marker and finished with the first mile of the race (the 25K and 50K start at Camp Ouachita). 

This was a fun run despite its strangeness. I ran well and comfortably after yesterday's 42-Miler and very little sleep. I also wore compression pants, a longsleeve shirt, buff over my neck and ears, and hat. I'm trying to keep my "tan" from yesterday just that...a tan and not a burn. Yes, it was strange. Yes, it was 90 degrees and humid. But it was fun all the same.

Hiked about a mile with Max and Sophia from FSR 94 up the Ouachita Trail to Flatside Pinnacle.  It was a great morning for running or hiking after a series of showers passed through in the early am.  The Ouachita National Forest is a treasure, and I wish more folks experienced and appreciated it.

I very much enjoyed running the 25th Anniversary of the Full Moon 25K, which is one of two distances (the other is a 50K) offered at this historic trail race in the Ouachita National Forest.  

As to be expected this time of year in Arkansas, it was hot and humid, still hovering around 90 degrees despite the 8 pm start.  

I ran well and comfortably on the out-and-back course along Forrest Service Roads and 2 Miles of pavement (first and last mile).

Now it's time to rest up for next week's Burning River 100 in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio.

Perfect morning for an early 4 am start to the Burning River 100 in Ohio.

I went out in the lead, taking advantage of the first 18 Miles of pavement and bridle path. At that point, the course transitioned to varied terrain, with increasingly more rolling trails and single track. Nevertheless, I managed to hold the lead through Mile 72, but, at this point, I was having difficulty holding down fluids, and my day got a lot tougher.

Around Mile 96, quads shot from the steep descents into several creek beds, and completely dehydrated, I was limited to slow walking over most of the last 6 Miles. I hung in for 7th place and was pleased to squeak out sub-19 hours.

You always learn a lot about yourself from running hundred milers, and today was no different.

Diana, my amazing crew chief, was there for me throughout the day. And it was another good adventure we got to experience together.

The 2017 Arkansas Traveller 100, or "AT100," is one of the most historic 100 milers in North America. With an old school feel, wonderful volunteers and aid stations, and a beautiful and runnable course through the Ouachita National Forrest, it offers a great experience for everyone.

This year's AT100, my fifth consecutive, was challenging psychologically and emotionally. I learned a lot about myself while thinking a lot about my family and priorities. Physically, I felt pretty damn good. In fact, about the only thing that didn't affect me was the 90 degree heat and humidity. I'm a kid from southern Arkansas and thrive in those conditions.

I finished in 16:53:55, the eighth fastest time in the AT100's 27-year life. I was a little over an hour off my 2015 course record, but I'm content with my effort. I ran an honest race and became the first person to finish first overall in four AT100s.

No crew or pacer this year, but lots of loved ones, including my beautiful kids, were there in spirit.

Awesome job, Wes. As a shorter-distance runner (relatively) I really enjoy reading your excitement about these longer races. Maybe I will transition to that after I improve some more in my marathon times.

From Jason D on Sat, Oct 14, 2017 at 13:09:38 from 73.144.91.168

Great race, Wesley. I always enjoy watching your epic buildups to these races. Best wishes to you.

You must be a legend in those parts by now! Congrats on your grit, determination, and another win.

Since I ran my last road marathon in March 2016 (my last road race of any distance), I've had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery (May 2016) and ran three 100-Mile ultras (October 2016, July 2016, and October 2017)...but it's good to be back! And now maybe Rob Murphy, Jeff, and other FRB'rs I met at Boston back in 2012 will comment on my race!! In all seriousness, these guys have continued to be supportive, and over the years, they've provided encouragement and tips as well.

On to the race. It's funny actually. Because I wasn't sure what splits I should target, I settled on 6:40/mile because it provided for easy 3- and 6-mile split calculations. So I'm pleased with my 6:39/mile average and relatively consistent pacing.  

I stayed near JFK and got up at 2 am, so it was a long day. But the cloudy and misty weather provided cool temps for a good time running.

Thanks to my wife Diana for staying home and watching Evan while I wondered around NYC trying to master the public transportation system for two days. As always, I couldn't do any of this without her love and support.

That is an impressive set of recent races, Wes. You have recovered very well from your surgery, and did great in the NYC marathon. Keep up the good work!

From Jason D on Mon, Nov 06, 2017 at 21:38:17 from 73.144.91.168

Well done, Wesley. The unfortunate thing about race reports for ultra runners is they get buried!

If you ever got the desire you would easily crush that marathon PR considering you ran what, 2:48, off of ultra training?

I enjoy reading your blog. Don't go anywhere.

From Wesley Hunt on Tue, Nov 07, 2017 at 07:10:44 from 70.215.136.38

Thank you, guys. I flew into NYC Friday night and back to Little Rock Sunday afternoon...it was a blur, but a great experience nonetheless.

Jason- I'm not going anywhere, and, btw, my wife is from metro Detroit!

Great job (welcome to a road race again you mileage monster).

Hope you had fun...I always check out your blog, I am just amazed at your mileage, consistency...and blown away by your treadmill miles. Not sure what to say when I see your posts. Great race!
