Trail Runner Chronicles: March 2010
http://mytrailrun.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 14, 2010. Way Too Cool 50K - 2010. Prelude To A Run. The Way Too Cool 50K was my first ultra marathon. I have been training for the race since December. During my training I overcame a rather bad IT band injury and a two week bout with asthmatic bronchitis (weeks prior to the big event). I know that I wasn't in conditioning that I wanted but it would have to be good enough. I have been training with my running partner/neighbor Scott, a new group of ultra runners and the Folsom Trail Runners.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010. The Winter of Our Running Content. Greetings Runners and Mild Observers. It has been a long time since the Lithia Loop Marathon back in November.

My plan is to run WAY TOO COOL in March, AMERICAN RIVER 50 Miler in April, pace at MIWOK 100K, volunteer at an aid station at WESTERN STATES in June, run SOB 50K in July and LITHIA LOOP TRAIL MARATHON in November. Whew! That's a ton of running.

What I did in 2012 — Finding Momentum
http://www.andrewhao.com/2013/01/01/what-i-did-in-2012
What I Did in 2012. Competitively, this was a good year. I ran a 3:05 PR. But missed Boston by seconds (argh). I was frustrated with my plantar fasciitis. But that gave me an opportunity to go into the swim and the bike and there were a lot of good memories doing long bike rides: Mt. Diablo Mt. Tam with Bruce and friends. I also learned to swim in open water! Did my first Olympic tri. 2013 will be the year I attempt my first 50mi race. 2012 was the year I started getting serious about photography.

Sierra Trailrunner: November 2012
http://sierratrailrunner.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 10, 2012. My New Best Friend. It started back in 2011 when Pat and I visited our friends who live in Crested Butte during the Fat Tire Bike week. Sweet singletrack for test riding. I sure didn't want to return that bike but I guess taking it home with me wasn't a wise idea (I left my 10 year old Stumpjumper with the Specialized folks as collateral, isn't that a fair trade? Buzz after a muddy ride. Monday, November 5, 2012. Lithia Loop and Leadville. Hal Koerner and I. My best moment ca...

Trail Runner Chronicles: Good, Bad, I'm the Guy With the Gu
http://mytrailrun.blogspot.com/2009/11/good-bad-im-guy-with-shoes.html
Friday, November 6, 2009. Good, Bad, I'm the Guy With the Gu. This is my pre-race report for the Lithia Loop Trail Marathon. To say that it has been a great two days here in Ashland would be an understatement. I am here with my wife, daughter and close friends, Anne, Jerry and their daughter. Here are couple of highlights from our time here. We ate chow at the Black Sheep. I had a great pint of amber from a local brewery. Tasty. Today we started off the morning with breakfast at Morning Glory. One of...

Trail Runner Chronicles: All In The (Active) Family
http://mytrailrun.blogspot.com/2009/10/all-in-active-family.html
Saturday, October 24, 2009. All In The (Active) Family. Awwe Put a running sock in it, would ya, Edith? It was about 52 degrees outside. I had on shorts, patagonia short sleeve shirt, gloves, my fav skull cap, head lamp, water bottle, nathan pack, ipod shuffle, two packs of shot blocks, one lime gu and my new injinji socks. It's a glove, for your foot. I want to thank the California State Parks for putting port-a-potties on the trail. You deserve a pay raise. Sun rises over the American River Trail.

Trail Runner Chronicles: Recap: Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon
http://mytrailrun.blogspot.com/2009/10/recap-bizz-johnson-trail-marathon.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. Recap: Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon. Sunday, I joined 359 other runners in the Lassen National Forest in Westwood, California for the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon. The trail marathon follows an old Southern Pacific Railroad route into Susanville. The trail climbs 280 feet for the first 6 miles and then descends 1,300 feet to the finish. It hails 10 water crossings and two tunnels that would make the tunnel to the batcave envious. The problem with not hearing the race director is...

Sierra Trailrunner: Leadville 100 Mtn Bike and 10K Run
http://sierratrailrunner.blogspot.com/2013/08/leadville-100-mtn-bike-and-10k-run.html
Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Leadville 100 Mtn Bike and 10K Run. Caitlyn and Pat took me to the start of the 100 mile mtn bike race early Sat morning. It was a balmy 35 degrees. I lined up in the "purple" corral which turned out to be a decent place to start. I passed quite a few people on the 4 mile paved descent and I was able to climb St. Kevin's and Sugarloaf without stopping. Best crew in the world! There was a strong head wind between Pipeline and Fish Hatchery (surprise, surprise) but I was able to...
