Jim's Running Adventures: August 2015
http://ultrajim.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Look up in the sky, oh wait, up on the mountain side. It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's Ultrajim. Faster than a speeding tree, able to leap small rocks with a single bound (sometimes). Thursday, August 13, 2015. A Tale of Two Runs Part 2. The Ruby Mountains are in east central Nevada, just south of Elko. The mountains are part of the Ruby Crest Wilderness Area. And there is a 34 mile north to south trail that traverses the length. The girls slept well, us, not so much. The skies cleared some, and wit...

Look up in the sky, oh wait, up on the mountain side. It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's Ultrajim. Faster than a speeding tree, able to leap small rocks with a single bound (sometimes). Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The Age of Aquarius, or the Capitol Reef 50 mile. There are worse race HQ's. Is the highest plateau in the country, with much of it being above 11,000’. We would be running along the Great Western Trail for much of the race, as well as some ATV roads. A short video I found. The race started abou...

Look up in the sky, oh wait, up on the mountain side. It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's Ultrajim. Faster than a speeding tree, able to leap small rocks with a single bound (sometimes). Sunday, September 22, 2013. Xterra 10K Trail Race at Snowbasin. I went out way too fast on the parade lap around the parking lot and by the time I got to the first climb, I was shot and hung on by my fingernails for the rest of the race. When I finally hit the high point and started downhill, we met up with the slower ...

Look up in the sky, oh wait, up on the mountain side. It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's Ultrajim. Faster than a speeding tree, able to leap small rocks with a single bound (sometimes). Saturday, May 9, 2015. Into Less Dense Air, the Ben Lomond/Willard Peak Expedition of 2015. If you have never climbed the face to the summit of Ben Lomond Peak in Weber County, Utah, be prepared for a unique experience. There wasn’t any snow remaining, the weather looked to be perfect, why not. Our route was carefully ...

Thursday, July 31, 2014. So, last Sunday I had the opportunity to get a 35 mile "run" in with a couple of lovely young ladies, Missy. The day started cool, but we all knew that it would be a warm one, even at 9000'. My troubles started when we began the climb towards the Bountiful B aid station location. Our last s...

Thursday, May 29, 2014. Timp Trail Marathon, shhh, don't tell anyone this is a great race. I suppose I shouldn’t advertise this, but if you want an awesome spring race, go run the Timp Trail Marathon. Marc and Shaun do a great job and I have no idea why this race does not fill to capacity. Seriously, go run it. Nice ea...

Thursday, July 11, 2013. Miscellaneous (did I spell it correctly? Thoughts on running, being out of a job, and post surgical stuff. Well, I haven't posted anything in awhile mainly because I haven't done any racing or serious adventure runs since my failure at Salt Flats. Yeah, so I DNF'd at Salt Flats. I really think ...
