Wanna scramble over some boulders? I mean a LOT of boulders? How about along an old abandoned road? An unmarked trail? Ever wonder what it’s likes on the other side of the Tunnel View corridor? Maybe you want to scramble straight up for a bit. Have we got the secret hidden Yosemite trail for you!…
Running 111 mile Tour du Mont Blanc from France to Italy to Switzerland to France
Trip. Of. A. Lifetime. Running ~20 miles a day from Chamonix, France through Italy and Switzerland and then back to Chamonix along the European Alps with views forever, daily cappuccinos, nightly beers, good conversation, and sleeping summer-camp style in refuges (mountain huts) along the way. Stepping back…this all started when we were running and…

Running Madeira with Trail Run Adventures
We met Anna Frost and her now husband Ron Braz Braselton a few years ago when we ran Hut Run Hut, 105 miles across the Rocky Mountains with Rickey Gates. The adventure did two things, started our friendship with Anna and Braz and wet our appetite for multi-day running adventures (not races, but adventures). After…
“Long Run” Saturday – Benton, CA

Race Report – Born to Run Ultramarathon Extravaganza: Come as Your Are
Born to Run (BTR) is the only race that I’ve written about not once (100K) but twice (30M) before. We just got home from our 5th time On the Ranch with the one and only Luis Escobar. Over the years I’ve completed the 100K, paced my friend in the 100 miler, and run the 30 miler three times. Yet,…
Review: goodr Sunglasses Really are Good
Despite the fact that the word “goodr” makes me crazy, these sunglasses are great. Months ago, I accidentally dropped my former glasses into the ocean (I am so sorry ocean). Spring is here and so is the bright sun. God forbid I squint and create wrinkles unnecessarily. It was time for a new…
Long Run Saturday – 15 miles around Calero County Park
Today we ran an easy 15 miles at Calero County Park, San Jose. It’s one of our favorite places to run. We enter at Rancho San Vicente and take Cottle trail to Lisa Killough trail. It’s an 8 mile loop with plenty of ups and down, but nothing too steep, all on jeep road or…

Race Report – AR50 2019
I pulled my running way back over the past few years while my boys finished high school. As we got closer and closer to their departure from home, I felt less and less of a desire to be away training and running. But this year, with all three boys (now young men) happy and healthy…
