This past Monday, on August 22nd, I was reminded by the Facebook that “On This Day” in 2015, I was doing the Bulldog 50K. I remember that day like it was yesterday and this weekend I’d like to make better memories of it and finish what I didn’t do last year. After only completing the…

miwok 100k 2016
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have my Miwok 100K race recap! Aha! You thought I was going to say “the facts of life” didn’t you? Actually I understand there may be a generation gap not aware of the old 80’s tv show “The Facts of Life”…
miwok: I’m going
Since this weekend is Mother’s Day, I’m going to share with you what my mom always tells me whenever I feel any ounce of nervousness: Don’t Worry. And that’s my approach to the Miwok 100K. I’m not going to worry. Even with rain in the forecast.
leona divide 50k 2016

what’s to come: san diego 50 mile
In a matter of minutes, it seems, I’ll be toeing the line at my second 50 Mile race, the San Diego 50. As of right now, I’m experiencing a flurry of emotions — a little nervousness tied in with a little excitement — okay, that’s pretty much it. Seeing as I participated in this race last year,…
