The spam is fixed!

Hello,

I am finally coming around and the legs aren't twitching so much. So I can sleep and I have run (sorta) 3 times this past week.

I am also finishing an article for ultrarunning which hopefully you will enjoy when it comes out.

Maybe see some of you out at the Kettles this weekend for the Kettle 100 mile.

Jason.

1079 miles plus 6 days and 50 more miles.

Ice Age Trail 50 mile run

Well it finally happened, I feel like a truck hit me yesterday. Saturday was still very successful however. I finished the 50 mile run in just under 10 hours, but my feet and quads now feel like I thought they would for every day of the 1000 miles. They are sore and stiff and I walk the Frankenstien. What I learn from this is we got a little lucky. By going a little slower (11ish hours) for the 23 days and by ice bathing and eating right we were able to maintain the body. After I finished Continue reading "1079 miles plus 6 days and 50 more miles."

Postrun Days 1 through 4, The Aftermath

Start in madison and end in Madison, Sleep in my own bed and putting in 0 miles, though did 35 on the bike last night.

It has been an incredible 4 days. Mentally I am relieved to be able to relax and not have to stay so focused on what I am doing every minute of the day. The body however continually reminds me of what I just finished. Continue reading "Postrun Days 1 through 4, The Aftermath"

What's all that smoke?

Dave, Brenda, and I left Madison at 05:00 on Sunday to run with Jason on his final stage. As we got to Algoma, Brenda asked "What is all that smoke from?"

Day 23

Thirty (30) miles for an unofficial total of 1079 miles over 22 days and 6 hours. If I can still do math that comes out to just about 48 miles a day. The official count will have to be tallied over the next few days to account for some of the road changes we made during the run.

We finished at 12:34pm on top of Potowatomi SP. My dad pointed out that that meant we finished 1234567. Get it? It was a great day with family and friends and fellow runners. I got choked up throughout the day as more runners and watchers joined our convoy of cars. It is wonderful to know such great people....

1079 miles in 22 1/2 days!

Jason has completed the continous through run of the complete Ice Age Trail (1079 miles) that he started April 14, 2007 . This blog exists to track his daily progress. Jason finished today about 12:30pm and just called from on top of the tower where he was celebrating with about two dozen people. They were having some champagne and were then going to have a little cookout. Great job Jason! There will be many on-the-trail photos from Jason's camera coming in the next week, so check back every couple of days for new content.

Jason should soon be a member of the Ice Age Trail "Thousand Miler club!"

Green is completed trail!

Remember that this was a fund-raising effort and 100% of all tax deductible contributionsmade on behalf on Jason will go to the Ice Age Park and Trail Foundationand will be used to:

- Build partnerships for the Ice Age Trail with local governmental units, civic
organizations, and teachers and their students.

Day 22, Unbelieveably only 30 miles left!!

We ended in Rio Creek at about 1049 miles.We are staying in Algoma. We will plan to start at 6:30am tomorrow, but if we wake up early and are ready to go, then we will start early. I can’t imagine how we ever made it through the past 3 weeks, but we did. It has been fun listening to all the stories from people following my adventure. I am glad to be able to give you a successful tale. You are all the best. Please get out when you can to enjoy the trails that I have been enjoying for the past 22 days. (Photo's inside)
