Been getting emails about Beast of East 2026 registration opening this weekend — what to do.. what to do?

For now sharing some photos snapped by @luoyunghwa

This location/section was oh so super crazy technical.

At least I was smiling a bit, right?

It’s official. Registration for the Bojangles 50K is now open.

Yes, it’s the same day as the Uwharrie Mountain Run.
Yes, Uwharrie is sold out.
And yes, this one is free*.

(*Free like a puppy. You still have to feed it. In this case, biscuits, gravy, and Cajun Pinto Beans.)

This is the inaugural year, which means simple rules, no charity tie-ins yet, and a strong focus on doing something mildly ridiculous with good people.

The course starts in the Cary / Morrisville area and includes six Bojangles locations that must all be visited. Food is required. Receipts are required. Regret is optional but likely.

If you were bummed about missing Uwharrie, or if you just want a story you’ll be telling for years, this might be your sign.

Spots are not capped, but commitment is real. Once you RSVP, you’re in.

So, I had a strange dream the other night. I had just finished running my latest race, though I don’t remember the distance, but I finished. Felt good.

I changed clothes. The work was done. I slipped on my Adidas slides and started catching up with other runners. Talking about the day. The highs. The lows. The usual post-race therapy session. Then it was time to leave. Except I couldn’t. I needed my slides. And my drop bags.

I found the drop bags. No problem. But I couldn’t find my slides. I kept looking. Checked with the race director. No luck. Check over at the main aid station/lost and found, again, no luck. Circling back to both a few times, like opening and closing the refrigerator at home, looking for something to eat, yet finding nothing new whatsoever from when I looked five minutes earlier! Of course, being me, I also got distracted/delayed in my search by more conversations. More stories. More “how’d it go for you?”

And the whole time, I was wearing the slides. That’s when it clicked.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t finishing the thing. The race. The project. The season. It’s knowing when to stop searching for what you think you still need and realizing you already have it within you.

So, if you’ve finished something meaningful recently, you don’t have to turn it into a new goal by Tuesday. You’re allowed to just… be done for a minute.

Happy Birthday to my son, the one and only @parker.silver

This past year has asked a lot of you. More than any "kid" should have to carry. And yet, day after day, you’ve shown a level of resolve, grit, and quiet strength that still stops me in my tracks. Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s real.

You’ve faced hard moments head-on, learned to adapt, kept your sense of humor, and reminded all of us what forward actually looks like.

Not perfect. Not easy. Just honest effort and heart.

I’m endlessly proud of the person you are becoming. Your courage inspires me more than you know.

Here’s to another trip around the sun, more laughs, more wins, and everything still ahead of you.

I love you.
Always & Forever ❤️
-Dad

Knocked it out… tough course but fun event nonetheless!

Thx to @dirty_wolf_racing for putting it on! Maybe next year I try the 50M!!
