Ultrarunning Father: Bryce 100
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2016/07/bryce-100.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2016. Back to work after two week vacation, needless to say I have a pile of work to catch up on and a pile of crap to put away. Somehow in the midst of the post vacation madness I will attempt to write up a race report for the Bryce 100. Why Bryce 100? Well I didn't make it in to Western States again this year nor did I even have a chance to make it into Hardrock, so why not do a tough and scenic race in Utah? It was reminiscent of White Bull but big cows instead of bulls. I was r...

Ultrarunning Father: February 2016
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2016. The lore of the Bandit is strong, no matter how hard I train unique challenges always present themselves, its a true test of grit and determination. I am in a secret love affair with the Simi hills even though she continues to break my heart. This course is tough! I have never been known to lead a race from the start, I like to lay back behind the leaders and strike later in the race, clean up the carnage! Its Felix pulling up beside me, he compliments my downhill running an...

Ultrarunning Father: November 2015
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 16, 2015. Still No Name needed. The past three or four years I have seen lots of improvements in my running and I have trained harder/put in more miles, but I feel this past year I haven't done anything different or more than I've done in the past. The more work you put into something the more you get out of it right? So by me not working any harder I should probably hit that "plateau", logically? What is that title anyways? The champion without a name? Descending down the final hill int...

Ultrarunning Father: December 2015
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2015. Made me pissed about my finish time? Prove I am a "real" runner that never quits? There will be many other races and adventures to come, I didn't quit out of fatigue or lack of fitness, I quit because my ankle sucks. So instead of lamenting on what went wrong I need to focus on how to make things better, how regain strength in my ankles and how to gain back my excitement toward running.

Ultrarunning Father: November 2014
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Yeah, an awesome looking 50K around the trails I train on regularly during my lunch hours! Two weeks later: No Name 5030, wait, what? Am I looking at the right race? Am I on the right website? An ultra race with no name? This race was located in the Cheeseboro park area of Augora and Simi Valley hills upon mostly fire road. The map of the race is very confusing as it loops around several different trails, I had to study the map numerous times before I got the gist of it. I lov...

Ultrarunning Father: January 2015
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. I think so and although I am still working on getting that balance right I feel like I'm getting better at this trapeze balancing act called life. Another approach to balancing family and running, one I've only been partially successful with, is to include my family in with my running. Get your children to run at an early age, do they have a fun run available at your next running event? Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Year in Review and a Quick Outlook for 2015. Boy does time fly!

Ultrarunning Father: June 2015
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 19, 2015. The Tale of the Backbone Trail. No, I didn't sign up or run the Backbone Ultra but I did volunteer for the 2014 running of it at the Piuma Rd crossing as a way to fulfill my mandatory volunteer work for Western States 100. After seeing the ecstasy and pain on the runners faces I was hooked, I knew I wanted to run the entire Backbone Trail. Of the history lesson. but if you want more http:/ www.nps.gov/samo/planyourvisit/backbonetrail.htm. Anyway, down Piuma descent I went! Across N...

Ultrarunning Father: May 2015
http://ultrarunningfather.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. PCT 50. 4th place training run. I skipped out of work early of Friday before the race and met up with Keith and Brett around 1:00 to start our journey down to Alpine (1/2 hour outside of San Diego) in Keith's "shag wagon" or "baby carriage". After 4 1/2 hours of lovely So Cal traffic we finally made it to our destination with empty stomachs, what better way to curb an appetite than with a pint of beer and some good burgers right? I got high fives all around and some good cheers.
