This weekend is the Javelina Jundred (in case you’re not familiar with it, the “J” in Jundred is silent and pronounced like “H” in Hundred) and I’ve jad a teensy tiny bit of FOMO surrounding it. Of course, that feeling didn’t last long and I jave no regret over not being there and attempting the…

Off The Grid: June For The Rebound
Recently I took some time to catch up on something I’ve neglected updating these past several months: my running and training journal. I’m usually pretty good about marking my runs with any notes on how I feel, or any aches and pains creeping up as they happen, but it’s the annual mileage I usually forget…
Back With the Group Again
Since August, with the exception of running with a few friends here and there, I’ve run mostly solo. This has been quite a departure from my normal routine of running with a group every Saturday morning which has been a staple in my life since 2004. But last year was not a normal running, or…
2016: The Year of the Ultras
Back in November of 2015 I wrote a post, titled “First and Last in 2016,” and in it, I was already calling 2016, “The Year of the Ultras.” It felt very strange reading this old post because while some things turned out slightly differently than how I imagined, I’m amazed at how much 2016 actually panned out.
Turning A Corner

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we’re smack dab into the holidays with New Years Day right around the corner, concluding one of the most intensely…
A Time to Recover
After a couple of days of coming to grips with the reality of what happened at Javelina Jundred, it was time for me to embrace recovery. If there was anything I was looking more forward to, other than earning my first 100 mile buckle, it was the recovery time! Of course, recovery is looking much…
Javelina Jundred: After the Race
You can read what happened and what didn’t happen during my 100 mile stint in the Arizona Sonoran Desert at Javelina Jundred HERE. It’s been a full week since being at Javelina Jundred. After I came close to grabbing a 100 mile buckle I didn’t earn, because apparently the woman confused my sad tears with happy…
Javelina Jundred 2016: race recap
I went into Javelina Jundred — my first 100 mile race — feeling as prepared as I could be. When I started to look at the 10-day forecast, the Phoenix area had a high of 77 degrees Fahrenheit, and wouldn’t that have been nifty if it actually stayed that way? But as each day passed and…
