Seen on the Rockingham Rail Trail...

I couldn't have said it better myself! Every time I am out there I end up carrying back as much trash as I can. What is wrong with people? Why can't they clean up after themselves?

 

At least he can still hike, cautiously.

Guess what the birds have been eating?!

Bubba's Backyard Ultra 2024

Ed retired from backyard ultras after last year's Bubba's Backyard Ultra, but there was no way he was gonna miss being there today for the start! (His arm is in a sling because he's recovering from shoulder surgery.) The trail is in great condition, and the weather is darn near perfect. We took a walk around the course so that we could cheer on the runners, who were definitely happy to see him! It was great to visit and hear what everyone's been up to over the past year.

It'll be interesting to see how this year's race plays out. Only one of the key players who have lasted until the top 5 in the last few years is back for more, and she looks awesome! We have a couple of other favorites, but you just never know what's gonna happen in the backyard. There may be a dark horse who could win it. Every step counts! We'll be watching updates online with bated breath and might sneak up again tomorrow. 

Good luck to the class of 2024 at Bubba's Backyard Ultra! Who will be the last person standing?

I know it's just our own employee parking lot, but I still think he could've found a better place to park!
