The Stubborn Tortoise

People often ask me why I love trail running. It"s all about the stories. You meet a different kind of person on the trails: connects with nature, doesn"t mind slowing down if someone is in need, says, "Good job, runner." Trail runners are competitive, for sure. But it"s also egalitarian. Seldom will you find the elites separated from the regular folk. Everyone gets lost at some point. Everyone falls. These are our badges of passage. This is my take on trail culture. Logo: Kevin Stich Music: "Our

Redemption After a DNF

The Stubborn Tortoise ·

2019/07/19

Sometimes, races don't go the way we plan them. In this case, I cut my losses early and was overcome with a variety of emotions: relief, self-doubt, self-flagellation. The good part is, there's usually another race to prove oneself. In this case, there was redemption, but just not the way I'd imagined it. Capt'n Karl's Reveille Peak Ranch race Back on My Feet -- really great cause! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/message Support this

Trail Foes and Friends

The Stubborn Tortoise ·

2019/07/14

This is a story in contrasts. I start off talking about a guy who may or may not have unwittingly cost me a race with his negative viewpoints and attitude. (11/12) But it ends well. Next, I tell you about my "Best Summer-Camp Friend," a charming 11-year-old named Gabriel, who joined me -- along with his friend, Isaiah at Bandera in January 2016. It's one of my all-time favorite stories. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/message Support this

This story is from August 2013. I'm publishing it now because the Capt'n Karl's nighttime race at Colorado Bend is coming up on Aug. 3. This is about the adventures of a handful of runners from the RGV traveling six hours for a night race. We sampled pretty much all the food in town. Then we ran the race. Here are some of the places mentioned in the piece: San Saba Olive Oil Co. Wedding Oak Winery, Alamo Pecan Co. Colorado Bend State Park Larry's Corner Cafe --- Send in a voice message:
