http://www.willrunlonger.com/2008/06/western-states-2008-race-cancelled.html
An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. June 26, 2008. Western States 2008 Race Cancelled. The 2008 Western State 100 mile endurance run has been cancelled. The official announcement was made last night around 8 pm. Fires, smoke, danger to the runners, crews and support personnel contributed to the decision. When I heard the official news, I was not surprised, given the briefing we had yesterday at 3 pm. I couldn’t bring myself to post anything until now. I am so, so sorry Will. But what can you do?

An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. May 19, 2015. The Grand Canyon - I Will Remember. There are times when people ask me why I run. Heck, there are time when I ask myself the same thing. Then I remember. Wow, just the best reason! May 29, 2015 at 3:40 AM. I have those sorts of running memories scattered in my minds eye and the incentive to keep doing this prevents me from straying too far from falling off the precipice and succumbing to acting my age .

An Ultra Runners Blog: Why I Love the Mountains
http://www.willrunlonger.com/2015/04/why-i-love-mountains.html
An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. April 18, 2015. Why I Love the Mountains. Mountains are magnetic, and we are drawn to them. Maybe it’s because of what they force us to do, or become. We gaze upon them, we exalt them, then we climb them. On their paths we face hardship, but these we welcome because hardship helps us discover things we didn’t know or understand before, about ourselves. I think it is time for me to explore.

An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. August 13, 2015. Images of Holland (without Running Shoes). The suitcase was finally packed. And it gave me no anxiety, which is odd because there are times when suitcases give me anxiety. Mainly from the things they don't carry but should. I'm not sure if it was subliminal or purposeful defiance, but I left my running shoes at home. For 10 days straight! The Best.So Far. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

An Ultra Runners Blog: Seeking Equanimity
http://www.willrunlonger.com/2014/11/seeking-equanimity.html
An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. November 4, 2014. The room is dark. I’m on my knees. I feel my legs. They seem stiff. Connected, yet detached…. My thoughts wonder. Away from the small light. Then back to it. B-r-e-a-t-h-e….d-e-e-p-l-y…. I feel a stillness. Inside my body. I hear a sound. I try to let it go. It stays. B-r-e-a-t-h-e….d-e-e-p-l-y…. It is a baby crying. I hear the sound inside my mind, but I’m outside. Connected, yet disconnected, at the same time. Why am I writing about this here?

An Ultra Runners Blog: Secret Spot
http://www.willrunlonger.com/2015/07/secret-spot.html
An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. July 30, 2015. Ran into an old friend John (John) D out of the blue last week. I saw him as I was driving up the street just a couple of feet from a secret trail I was looking for. We decided to do a quick hike together on the secret trail and came back to do it again this week, this time with another friend John W. What a trail! We gained 1,300’ in just 2.5 miles before we turned around and coasted back just in time for a quick Stone Pale Ale. Why Run 100 Miles?

An Ultra Runners Blog. Live Run. Inspire. March 22, 2015. Thank You Alto Vista Peak – You’ll Do Just Fine! Alto Vista - The One. Oh, I didn’t think of that. For us Southern California flatlanders, San Gorgonio is kind of a Grand Teton. Even though we can’t see it from Orange County (unless standing on Santiago Peak), it’s always beckoning. So when I signed the day hike permit, the vision was simple. Get to the top. The pinnacle. What else is there? San G - The Elusive One. I’m not sure if was the 10.
