Marathon Freak: My first 50 miler: Autumn Leaves 2007
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-first-50-miler-autumn-leaves-2007.html
Sunday, November 04, 2007. My first 50 miler: Autumn Leaves 2007. Yesterday I ran my first 50 miler (I'm sure it will not be my last). It was the Autumn Leaves 50 miler. I have so much to say about it. I left my house at 4:45am and drove to Champoeg for the start at 6:00am. It was cold and dark. The loop was changed so it was just 4.9 miles and a 1.2 mile out-and-back was added. The first full loop was all in the dark. At one point, myself and another runner got off the course, but found our way. I ran a...

Marathon Freak: Des Moines Creek / Mars Hill
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2008/03/des-moines-creek-mars-hill.html
Sunday, March 02, 2008. Des Moines Creek / Mars Hill. What a great weekend! A few weeks ago I found out about the Des Moines Creek 6 hour run in SeaTac. I thought that it would be fun to do a six hour run. I will be doing the Pacific Rim 24 hour race in just two short weeks, and though a six hour run would be a good final test for me. I counted there are over 45 marathons and ultras in the northwest, and move 35 are in Washington (mainly Seattle area). I ended up running again a 36:7 lap the second time&...

Marathon Freak: Pacific Rim 24 hour Race
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2008/03/pacific-rim-24-hour-race.html
Monday, March 17, 2008. Pacific Rim 24 hour Race. I had a fun weekend. I know that I have started my last four logs the same way, but it's true. This weekend Tim Lawson and I took part in the Pacific Rim One Day Race in Longview, WA. Months ago, I looked at this race, and thought it would be fun to run a 100k. But after talking to Tim, I realized that running. Was not out of the question. That said in November I decided to start training. November 17 - Midnight to 4am - 25.62 miles. He wanted to run 200k...

Marathon Freak: Doubling up Seattle
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2007/11/doubling-up-seattle.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2007. In 2005 I started running marathons. After my first in June and my first ultra in July. I was hooked! I was looking ahead to the rest of the year, and planned to run Seattle. After a bad run at Tahoe (or a least I made so many rookie mistakes). I ran Seattle, looking for a strong run. I PRed by 26 minutes. I have always enjoyed Seattle. Last year was a. Bad weather year, but being a late November marathon, what should you expect. My sister got confused with the course and en...

Marathon Freak: A Dizzy Daze PR!
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2008/03/dizzy-daze-pr.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. A Dizzy Daze PR! In the past few months, and the last few weeks, some would say that I have gotten a little "loopy". Well my race this weekend was in Seattle at Green Lake. It was 10 laps around Green Lake for 32 miles, which is a little more th. My goal for this race was to set a 50k PR. It's a flat road course. So I thought to myself, "if I can run at the same speed as a road marathon and hold it for another five miles, I could run between 4:30-4:50.". So that is what I did!

Marathon Freak: Rumbling in the high desert
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2008/04/rumbling-in-high-desert.html
Monday, April 14, 2008. Rumbling in the high desert. Going into this year, I wanted to run a lot of ultras and get a lot of experience as a trail runner. I also wanted to run most of the Oregon Trail Ultramarathon Series. As a die hard Marathon Maniac, I. Also wanted to support Sean and run in his race. En I went to bed. I started out fast. I didn't plan it, but I was running with the flow of the group. I knew the mileage at each of the aid stations, so when I got to the first aid station, I real...Leadi...

Marathon Freak: April 2008
http://marathon-freak.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. Andy Carson's 40 miles of Fun (plus a little more). In February at a Portland Running Company group run, I had a chance to meet Dave and Paula Harkin (the owners). Paula told me about a 40 mile fun run with Andy Carson. I was very interested. Andy Carson is a w. Eatherman for Portland's Fox TV station. He was celebrating his 40th birthday by running 40 miles. The run was benefiting the. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. R run over 10 miles. We all survived and had a blast doing so.
