If there’s anything I wanted to accomplish in October, it was to finish this recap of the Bulldog race that was in oh, back at the end of August. Considering, I wrote a course preview post of the race, I suppose it was only fitting I wrote something about the actual race, right? I sure…

Getting Ready For The Bulldog (Course Preview)
Before we get to this particular course preview, here’s a little backstory: In early June, my friend Crystal and I decided to tackle a loop on the Bulldog course. It would be the first time either of us went out to Malibu Creek State Park since the Woolsey Fire raged through it last November.
Ahmanson 12K Trail Run – 2019
It’s taken me some time to start and finish writing up this recap of the recently held Ahmanson 12K trail race because, in the past several months, I’ve lost my drive to write. Life has been challenging, but I’m trying to get some of that writing mojo back. This post wasn’t supposed to be my…
2018: It Is The Journey That Matters
To say 2018 was a busy, and challenging year would be an understatement. It certainly had its fair share of struggles, and trying hard to have unwavering faith tested me at times. But it was one of the best rewarding running years I’ve ever had and it started on Day 1.

Each step becomes increasingly more difficult the further I go. My breathing was more labored as my heart felt like it…
Cirque Du Griffith Park 12 Hour – 2018
When I told someone the premise of the Cirque Du Griffith Park, thinking that maybe they’d like to participate, their immediate reaction was, “BORING!!” I could see why they’d think that. The idea of going around a 2.5-mile loop for 6 or 12 hours with no change in direction could sound, yeah, downright boring. Luckily…
Laughing Through The Miles
Based on how my body feels right now, I feel like taking the rest of the week off from running. Nothing will hurt my training right now more than continuing to push my body when it’s fatigued. After I finished the Quicksilver 50K, my body started to feel “off;” more tired than usual. It was…
