Day 23:
Six of ten made it past sixty miles, with no one reaching 70 today. The boys at the front are mum, but energy is waning just a little bit, and the weather is not the culprit. Atmavir Petr Spacil has climbed to within 13 laps of first place, as Vasu...
Day 22: Moving Along
Atmavir Spacil and Ashprihanal Aalto shared the Day Leader designation with 66.95 miles today. Atmavir moved to within 16 miles of leader Vasu Duzhiy, as the Russian was slowed by blisters, perhaps the result of his torrid pace in the early days of...
Day 21: Three Weeks In
Cooler weather prevailed today, and with it, the opportunity to run lots of miles. Seven of the 10 runners still afloat in the race topped 60 miles, led jointly by Vasu Duzhiy and Atmavir Petr Spacil at 68.6 miles each. The two lady runners Surasa...
Day 20: And Then There Were Ten
The mini heat wave ended with a brief shower and strong southerly winds this evening. The day seemed incongruous from the start as the air was still and the sun strong. But that was fuel for the fleet-footed(or foolhardy) as Ananda-Lahari Zuscin was...
Day 19:
The group of 12 started the day in earnest, since heat had affected all in some way or another. Atmavir Spacil grabbed Day honors with 66.95 miles. Eight runners went past sixty miles, but none had any inclination of going beyond 70. Surasa Mairer...
Day 18: First Taste of High Heat
The runners of the 3100 Mile race are a little cautious about heat. New York heat can stiffle your effort, fry your brain, drain your muscles, deplete your sodium content and make you wish you were in the Catskills, or even further north. Today was a...

Day 16: The Fourth of July
With much inspiration from a short skit about past great American presidents and philosophers, the group of 12 ran through Fourth of July mirth, firecrackers, bottle rockets, fireworks in the night sky, and a deluge of rain to cap the day. This was...
Day 15: Pleasant Skies
The runners took advantage of another day of sub-normal temperatures to attain some good mileage. Vasu Duzhiy again placed a 71.3 mile day on his scorecard, the eleventh of his last twelve. He is averaging 72.4 miles per day. Both Atmavir Spacil and...

Day 13: Singing in the Rain
The runners are settling in, their tasks are clear, if not formidable. Do as much mileage as possible, within the strict timeframe- without incurring injury. Today's test was offered by Mother Nature in the form of a line of thunder and rainstorms...
Day 11: More Fun in the Sun
Vasu Duzhiy kept his seventy-mile streak intact with eight straight(70.24 again) and increased his lead to 23+ miles over second place. He is currently 69 miles ahead of his pace from last year when he was third on the podium in 44 days, eight hours....
Day 10: It Is A Long Race
A cooler, overcast day prevailed as the intrepid dozen runners moved along the sidewalk course of the 3100 Mile Race. After ten days, injuries and fatigue have spread out the field and dropped some down the list. The top three are all averaging 70...
Day 9: The Tough Get Going, and Going
It was a strange day at the race for sure, but nothing that the runners had never seen before. Vasu Duzhiy kept his poise and rhythm while running, and extended his lead to 20 miles with another 71.89 mile day. He and his fellow runners had to endure...

Day 6: Not Easy As It Looks
It was sunny and pleasant with lower humidity, but a tricky-hot sun offered no respite throughout the afternoon. Vasu Duzhiy thrilled with a late run to reach 76.28 miles, and top off a six-day split with 447.27 miles, a mere lap behind Czech Republic...
