As my current pair of trail shoes nears the 300-mile mark, I am starting to consider a replacement. My consideration list includes the Montrail Hardrock, the Montrail Continental Divide, and The North Face Ultra 103.

Easy run around White Rock Lake

Today’s run was a nice easy single loop around White Rock Lake. I met Deborah and Goutham at the dog park around noon. We headed counter-clockwise just as we’d done last week, but without the White Rock Creek Trail section and all the mud. The run started out nice and easy and we were holding [...]

I could work a run in today given my work schedule, but I’m going to take it easy instead. My left big toe is noticeably tight and sore this morning after yesterday’s stumping and consequent fall. The top of my right foot is also still sore from what I suspect is tight shoe laces. Better [...]

One of my goals for the year is to help out at more races. Volunteering is just a good thing and it will help me with the required trail work qualification when I decide to enter a hundred miler. I got started volunteering back at the Sunrise Marathon in March of 2003. This was actually [...]
