Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so…get on your way. ~ Dr Seuss January 1st 2012 run up to Queen of Hearts trail that over looks Ashland. I feel that 2012 will be the most focused I’ve ever been. Over the next year I want to connect the earth, my body and mind […]
North Face Endurance Challenge 50-Mile Championship The championship run in the Marin Headlands lived up to the hype. We went out hard, pushed the pace at every turn and growled and grunted pretty much every step of the way. I was privileged to take part in this year’s battle of endurance and strength and witness […]
Moving to Ashland was a sweet idea! My wife and I are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful peaceful place with some of the finest people in the world. My Ashland family was on the top of their game this past weekend with endless smiles and support along the Pine to Palm 100 […]
I was privileged to run TransRockies or big kids camp a few weeks back and am finally getting around to writing about it. Running has brought me to lots of breathtaking spots while meeting incredible people and TransRockies was no exception. The Rockie mountains are pretty neat and I was able to run across many […]
White River 50 2011 I don’t know what I was thinking when I signed up for White River. I knew my legs were still not working the best since Western States 100 mile run, but I could not miss the magnificent views of Mt Rainier and the forested Cathedral that is Mt Rainier National Park. […]

Silver State 50 miler The Silver State gave me just what I needed to get back in my rhythm. My body and mind have been feeling sluggish since the week before Miwok. I’m not exactly sure what I was feeling, but I could tell I was putting to much pressure on myself and not feeling […]
Miwok 100K 2011 Can’t complain about the view. Photo by Jean Pommier Sometimes races go somewhat as planned, and you hit your highs and lows and just let the day flow. Saturday for me turned into a very memorable race, as I look back through moments of the day I go through feelings of disappointment, […]
A week after racing Way Too Cool 50k I was back at it again. I definitely don’t recommend running two 50k’s back to back, but as of the time of this writing, I think I survived. Well, my recovery/tapering combo week was a bit crazy. My wife and I just bought a house and received […]
Way Too Cool 50K Town of Cool Photo by Hannah Olson I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to run. Cool California was a delightful spot for a solid morning run. I was anticipating a fast start with a line up of talented speedsters from around the running circuit. They didn’t disappoint and […]
