Monday, July 5, 2010. WESTERN STATES 100 MILE ENDURANCE RUN June 26-27, 2010. Near the end - at Mile 93.5, just after 8:00 am on Sunday.). From the race website:. Russ spots me and continues the interview we started last month. "Are you nervous? He hiked up all that way just to say a big "Hi, Howdy" to me as I passed by! See you again in Auburn, buddy! Deep breath and I plunge over the side onto the single track trail on the backside of the mountain. Now it seems real. Now it seems like my person...Up ov...

The Mad Runner: End of the Season
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2011/11/end-of-season.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. End of the Season. Well, it's been a long time since I finished up any race reports for the remainder of the year so now it's only appropriate to do an end of the year summary. Since McDonald Forest 50K I ran the Western State training camp over the Memorial Day weekend where I suffered a fall that required a short period of recuperation. I did my usual late July weekend at the race location to help out on trail work and again do precious little running. Reading it made me real...

The Mad Runner: August 2007
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2007. Where's Waldo 100K Race Report. Well, here it is, the latest race report from me about an event I'll not soon forget. Even if I wanted to. Sadly, there were some trail vandals who messed up some of the directional signs but by the time I got to them they were already fixed so I didn't get in any "bonus miles" like many folks did. This includes most of the front runners and anyone else who had a chance for a good time. Poor Pete says he got 5 bonus miles! Links to this post. I sta...

The Mad Runner: Pine to Palm - a birthday bash
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2010/09/pine-to-palm-birthday-bash.html
Sunday, September 26, 2010. Pine to Palm - a birthday bash. And the fact that this race started on my birthday (#48) was another bonus. This bodes well. Inaugural events.there's always a chance problems will be encountered at new races in their first year. But, bolstered by the reputation of the RD, I signed on almost as soon as I found out about it. Over the intervening months I saw more and more like-minded runners join up until there were over 160 names on the list by race day. Another hour after it w...

The Mad Runner: June 2009
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Memorial Day Weekend "Running Camp". But, lo and behold, I actually managed to put one foot in front of the other on day two and then again was able to get and stay moving on day three. It was a great accomplishment. On day number one I did close to 30 miles on day #1 and about 7K climbing. It was a beautiful mountain bike trail in the King Range. Day #2 we did in the Redwood State Par. The return trip was a lot more fun! It was very pretty and the weather was perfect - started o...

The Mad Runner: Where's Waldo?
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2010/09/wheres-waldo.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. Waldo Kicks Kate's ass. And humiliates her in the process. Score: Waldo 1, Kate 0. Waldo tries and is nearly successful at kicking Kate's ass. Waldo 1, Kate 1. Between Fuji and Mt. Ray aid stations I run steady and continue to try to run more of the up hill sections, twenty steps at a time alternating with twenty of walking when necessary. I get to the aid station right on time and grab another pie. The aid station volunteers continue to wait on us hand and foot....Off to th...

The Mad Runner: Pacific Rim One Day
http://themadrunner.blogspot.com/2012/03/pacific-rim-one-day.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. Pacific Rim One Day. Rodney even drove over in the mid afternoon to say high and bring donuts. That was a nice treat and I got to walk a lap with him. He had a lame excuse to go back home and not sit out with me in the rain and dark all night. I guess love does have limits. A job well-done. I honestly dont think I could go back out there after taking a break. remember: CC is just around the corner! March 31, 2012. Nice, Nice, Nice! Looking forward to seeing you in May! I started r...
