I’ve created a second website: UltraRunningHistory.com to do a podcast and to collect my history-related posts together on one site. I’m enjoying uncovering more untold stories about ultrarunning history and wanted to preserve those separate from my blog, and hopefully gather history items from others.
UltraRunningHistory.com will be the home of my new podcast where I will tell more stories about ultrarunning history and interview some of the amazing legends of the past. The podcast can also be found in iTunes and is called “Ultrarunning History.” Check it out, I’m trying to make it fun and not just telling facts.
In my introductory podcast episode, “What’s Up With This” I answer questions about my name, Davy Crockett. What has life been like growing up with a name like Davy Crockett? I also explain how I got into researching and writing about ultrarunning history and what the podcast will be like.
My personal blog (here) will continue to contain my personal running experiences. My running posts haven’t existed for the past five months because of an injury and surgery on my left knee. The doctor indicated that the surgery was mostly cleanup and smoothing, but after a setback I have not been about to train for about three month. Healing is very slow. There is probably something else going on such as a stress fracture which I know takes a very long time to heal on an old guy like me. I’m trying to be very patient and took up some long biking to help my sanity. I’m still stuck on 97 100-mile finishes and hope to reach 100 some day.
