Twenty miles into the inaugural Run Rabbit Run 110 mile race and I was cashed. Around mile 24, as i was hiking pretty trivial grade, I couldn’t believe how dead my body was. The surrounding Emerald Mountains were breathtaking, the single track was very cruise-able and I floundered around gasping for air wondering what in […]
Grimacing, making the final 3000ft climb to Maiden Peak (8000ft) all I could do was giggle. As I felt myself making faces working up the last ascent, all I could think about was my son. I’ve had two (now three) weeks to watch his every move and one similarity I’ve noticed is that we make […]

The best part about races and even going for a run in general is that each experience is unique and you learn how to roll with the punches to keep it fun. From the off I knew this race was going to be a bit of a slugfest. There was no Hal, making our ribs […]
Lake Sonoma 50 was a beautiful way to start the summer of racing ultras. Get your feet wet, soak up some sun and let it rip. Here are a few photos on how the day unfolded. The first 30 felt like this…walking on water Photo: Glenn Tachiyama The middle 10 felt like this…humbling yet invigorating. Photo: […]
2012 is going to be a dope year! Of course I’ll be running all over the place, climbing mountains and enjoying many fine trails. One trail I’m extremely excited to explore, as soon as the snow melts down, is Northern California and Southern Oregon’s Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). My wife and I were warmly welcomed to the fun-loving bunch […]
The last 20 miles were probably the toughest running of my life. I felt nauseated, every millimeter of my body ached, but I could not give up. I’m too stubborn for that. The will to finish and not give up, no matter what, was too strong. I knew they were hot on my tail, I could […]
