    • I started running again at age 57 and it's one of the best things I've done. I enjoy getting out to run the trails and pushing myself to see what I'm capable of. My goal this year is to accomplish a 50k.

      • Sorry I took so long in getting back with you. I have been very busy. My family did the Land Between The Lakes 1/2 marathon. Our next big race is the Scenic City 1/2 Marathon. I feel like at this point a full marathon will flare up my foot that I broke while running 3 yrs ago. My son broke the record at Land Between The Lakes trail run, he won $500. We Are Having Fun Now!

      • Thanks for the kudos. It was definetly a learning experience. Finally recovering from taking my imune system down but still glad I did it. Would have haunted me had I backed down.

      • Great run cruzin, other physical problems make it so much sweeter getting across the finish line!

      Wilder Ranch Loop & Long Meadow Loop - A rather cool Sun AM workout to test the suppliments. Felt considerably better than the last time which was only an electrolyte & a little gel. Working to a 30k on Jan 22nd.

      6.8.2011

    • Trail running 0:53'17.4 Average heart rate 156 bpm, 6.27 km.
      This is definetly the toughest run so far. It's all uphill from start to finish. My goals going in were to finish under an hour and run (jog) the entire run. So I feel good I did both. The last half mile was a mental challenge. I wasn't familiar with the course and when nearing the top I kept expecting to come up over the ridge and then enjoy a short downhill to the finish. Who ever laid out the course is sadistic as the finish was an increasing uphill climb. Even tossed the breakfast! =}

    • Trail running 3:05'54.4 Average heart rate 142 bpm, 24.15 km.
      Had a nice run today, Henry Cowell to Wilder Ranch. My longest so far. Lot's of tourists, horses, bikers & hikers. I met the only other trail runner taking the same course but heading back, 30 miles. Very impressive! Nice conversation. Elevation change 1184 ft

    • Nisene Marks Half Marathon/Mud Run

      4.6.2011

    • Trail running 2:18'34 Average heart rate 149 bpm, 21.08 km.
      Garrett joined me for my first half marathoin which turned out to be a major mud run. Heavy rain from start to finish kept the pace down. But it still feels good to have made it! Nothing feels better than crossing the finish line! Nisene Marks in the rain IS Jurasic Park. I'd definetly do this one again. Total ascent - 1840 ft. Pace - 0:10'35/mi, much better than expected. Placed 88/155, not too bad for my first and 12th most vintage runner. =}

      Elevation change - 1150 ft, total ascent - 2038 ft PR - First TE 5.0. After 7 mo training I'm feeling stronger and more confident. Learning how to relax through the pain. Posture and form are making a difference. Pace = 11:07 / mi

    • Trail running 3:49'36.7 Average heart rate 141 bpm, 29.70 km.
      Placed 14 out of 30, 1st in my agre group. The courese was a nice challenge with 2 river crossings. The last minute course changes added2k ft evelation change. After less than 2 yrs of running it feels good knowing I was the most senior runner in the race and placed in the middle of the standings. Overall I felt good. The last 4 mi after the river crossing was tougher than I expected.

      Ran the second leg of the Pacifica 30K. After breaking a hard sweat the cool temp and winds kept it very cold. The jacket came in handy. I felt much more comfortable after dialing back the H2O and gel a bit. I'll be looking at 4 hrs+ for the 30K next weekend.

    • Brooks Falls - My First 30Km

      22.1.2012

    • Trail running 4:19'55.4 Average heart rate 155 bpm, 30.00 km.
      Total ascent 4468ft. HR battery died about 30 min in. Weather was cold and wet! I seem to have an affinity for races in the rain. The course is great. Lots of technical single track with great views of the coast from Montera Peak. Downhill from Motera Pk was challenging and fun. The second loop on Hazelnut trail was a killer. I feel good having accomplished a 30k at my age and after 15 mo of running. Nice to know I can do what the Dr's said I can't! I'm still looking for the limit.

    • Catalina Marathon

      9.3.2013

    • Trail running 6:03'46.4 Average heart rate 121 bpm, 42.17 km.
      Well... it wasn't pretty. I made a last minute decision run after another week of a cold relapse. I felt good enough to run and wasn't going to let my 1st marathon get away. I started out good & strong but by Two Harbors my body told me I was going to pull back and my breathing became a limitation. Definitely a good experience in learning my body and running. I am glad I did it and made the accomplishment. Now it's time to get back to health and focus on the net one. I'll do this one again...
