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
There were a couple of great reasons for me to run the Leona Divide 50K. One reason was for me to tie up loose ends, and seek redemption at a race which was supposed to be my first ultra marathon when it turned out to be my first DNF. Another reason had something a little bigger on…
ready to settle a score: leona divide
Going into this running year and planning my training for the BIG race, Javelina Jundred, I knew every race I signed up for would have a purpose. No novelty just-for-the-heck-of-it races are on my agenda, so you won’t see me signing up for a “Run for Churros 5K” or a “Taco Taco 10K.” Wait, do those…

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.
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…
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…
