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…

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.
