ALSOOOOOOOOOOOO
VA Beach's Toughest HALF MARATHON     *FREE*       100 climbs
Mt. Trashmore Park
7:00am START
meet in parking lot by the LAKE!
CUTOFF: 3 hours, 15 minutes

You will feel like trash, look like junk, smell like garbage, and might have to take a dump. These outcomes will result from running VA Beach's Toughest HALF at Mt. Trashmore. This FREE FUN RUN will combine the lovable half marathon distance with the joy of climbing hills. 

Now that your legs already hurt, let me make your brain feel the pain. We will start in the center of Mt. Trashmore by the lake. From there, we will run over that sucker, slightly right for a short flat section, and up and over Encore Hill. This distance will be marked with cones as being 0.262 miles. Out and back is 0.524. Out and back 25 times is 13.1!!! :) 

HEY! I could have made it 26.2 laps...I'm vouching for the sanity of us all!! It may add 15 seconds per lap...tehehe.

So, out-and-back makes four hills: twice over Trashmore and twice over Encore (...what an ironic name for a hill in this event!) Out and back 25 times makes 100 climbs.

 (Someone crafty should make stickers that say "I climbed Mt. Trashmore 50 times...in one day!") 

Bring a Sharpie to keep tallies of each of the 25 out-and-backs.

Donate $10 to your favorite charity.

FINISHERS receive a piece of TRASH.
ELEVATION GAIN: Over 3500 feet!!! (aka Over Half a Mile ^^^^^UP^^^^^)

LASTLY, DETAILS for
Chesapeake's THIRTHY {30} MILE FUN RUN will arrive shortly!!! 
THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON NOVEMBER 16th!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trailrunning Sentiments

Some runs are just great. Energy. Relaxation. Speed. Dirt. The perfect mix. Friends always help, too. I have read many sources that comment on the introversion of runners, but I stand on the side of the extroverts. If I were the only runner in the world, I think that I would quit running. I like people. I like to be included. I like to be available when people need or want me around. Now, I am not at all saying that I want an excuse to quit running anytime soon. Contrarily, I am contentedly hooked on this lifestyle-I mean, hobby. I just love having someone to run alongside. Live alongside.

It has been a month of chaos, but the running has been great. The friends are great. The fam is great.

That's the main thing. The people. Not the silly numbers-that's serious coming from a math person! Not the emotions-that's serious coming from a woman! Not the self esteem. Not the diet. Not the quantity of activities or races. Just the people. The humans. The flesh-intertwined souls that run and breathe and long to be loved and befriended. The imperfect beings who can become the perfect companions.

You gotta love em!

Some phones, like mine, claimed that the loop was 14.9 ish miles. Phones can overestimate. Mapmyrun can underestimate and claim 13.1 miles. I would say it was 14. It's healthy to run extra, too! We love trails!!

A great, hilly run! Thanks, folks!!!! :)

You can join us for the 13.1 mile edition...same time...same place.

Self-supported run-no ribbons, just wooden posts marking trail forks...knowing the map will help.
This would make an interesting first marathon, but I won't advise against it-it's not in my nature to do so.

Bells Hills Races - 2013 RESULTS


With downpours the hour before the event and threat and sightings of lightning, we had a turnout of  close to half of the 57 registered participants. But it sure was nice to see the dedicated runners out there! With showers here and there, the race progressed. Runners found their way through the open fields and grassy puddles and on to the slew of polychromatic birdhouses at the finish. 
Soaked racers stuck around to chat and cheer on people they never met. Runners in the back began to take down streamers and clean up without even thinking about affecting their times. 

The finishing champions were:
