Lately I’ve been feeling like something has been clicking with training. That is, until last week where nothing seemed to have clicked, and I’ll get to that in a bit. But, as far as the clicking portion is concerned, I’ll say it has a lot to do with the Ultra Ordinary Running Podcast.

music monday: overnight
In case you were wondering where Music Monday was, well wonder no more. The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy in my corner and I couldn’t muster up the energy or time to write them up. Sorry. I hope you didn’t have too many sleepless nights concerned if Music Monday was coming back. Well, it is!
miwok 100k training: 11 weeks to go
I can honestly say last week’s training went as I had hoped. Turns out planning kinda helps! Because I’ve had some low mileage weeks, due to being out sick and recovering from the San Diego 50, I wanted to ease back up to training and not immediately jump from zero to 40 or 50 mile training…

More specifically, Downtown LA, Echo Park, Silverlake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills,…
miwok 100k training: 13 weeks to go
When I started to count up the number of weeks until the Miwok 100K, I had some crazy notion I was staring down something like 16, possibly 20 weeks until race day. Boy was I wrong!!! 13 weeks until I head up to San Francisco for the biggest race of my life thus far! And I…
music monday: keep on walking
Last week when I was fighting a bout with insomnia there was one song which immediately popped in my head simply because of the very first line. Darn youuu Passenger!!
