First off I want to say thanks for everyone who is offering to help me mark the course!  It is super cool to know I have friends to help when I’m down and out right now.  For anyone interested in helping, it’ll probably happen mostly on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, July 26-27.  Contact me Read More

Quick brief update here: 1.  The Waitlist option will end on Sunday this week, that’s July 17 at midnight.  If you intend on running and have not entered, get on the list now for a chance to get in.  Noone will be accepted after this date, no exceptions.  For the record, the waitlist is real Read More

The Western States 100 will certainly be a great race to watch.  Put your reading glasses on folks, this one’s gonna take a while.  If I pick em’ even remotely close, it’s all luck, cuz’ it doesn’t get any tougher than this one, and all my research on every runner listed below comes straight off Read More

Yep, there is still 147″ of snow at 9600′ on the Speedgoat course.  That’s alot, runners may be bumping into skiers come race day.  Won’t that be entertaining! The race is now full, but we are accepting those still interested to join the wait list, typically we could have about 35 runners on that wait Read More

Only 3 spots remain for a chance to run the toughest 50k in town.  Only 11,693′ of vertical gain to entertain you.  Some snow, some rocks, some really ugly trail is all we need for a full day’s work.  Expect the course to have some snow, but don’t expect it to change because of it.  Many areas Read More

Thirsty? what do I mean? This past weekend I was in Virginia to run the Massannutten 100 miler. It is one of my favorite courses. It is rocky, technical, somewhat hilly, and difficult to say the least, for the “average” 100 mile runner…right up my alley. This was to mark my 5th time running this Read More

This week the Miwok 100k is set and primed to be fast, the field is stacked as usual.  I don’t think either Tony Krupicka or Geoff Roes will be running.  There names are on the list, but Tony hasn’t mentioned it as he normally would, and Geoff just ran a smooth 100 in Santa Barbara Read More

2:03.02 and 2:03.06……what the……?   🙂 Glad I’m not a road marathoner!  Boston was sick!  Congrats to American Ryan Hall, gotta be tough to finish OFF the podium sub 2:05. What a race! And the women’s was even closer, congrats to the top 2 americans, Desiree Davila and Kara Goucher…..so close.  check it all here:  http://raceday.baa.org/ Read More

I’d like to say I finished two 100 milers in 6 days, but I can’t say that as the C2M Hurricane threw that plan out the window…but it felt like 2 100s.  I have no official finish at C2M, so I’ll let that be.  My official finish at the Antelope Island Buffalo Run comes in Read More
