Capital Peak 50 mile report

Wow that's a lot of running. capital peak was my first 5o mile just three years ago. and since then I haven't really improved my 50mile time, until now! finishing in a smoking fast 8:43 and 8th overall. all the extra training I've been doing with my little running protege is really paying off. I kept saying to myself " you can run this " and with very few exceptions I ran and ran and ran, walking no more then a mile or so. this course is just fast for the amount of elevation it has. with 50 miles of winding single track I was in heaven. HERE's a shot of me at the peak where believe it or not it was snowing! Thanks Glenn. And thank you John for a great race and good times. No more races planned for the near future, but you never know. the trail is always calling me to come run.

running, running, running

Running, running and no blogging. So to catch up a little I had a PR at chuckanut 50k fastest 50k ever 5:00:57 and to make things better Barbara on her second ultra ever ran a 5:21.

Wednesday "night" runs have come to an end and we hopefully have seen the last of the snow. though I love the snow. Morris has left to surfski for the summer and Chuck Snyder has skipped town. Wednesday nights will never be the same.

Just got back from a weekend up on the north shore running the Baden Powell with my good friend Barbara . that trail never seems to get any friendlier. just say no to the BP

coming up this weekend is the sun mountain 50k which Barbara and I will both be running. sure to be a great time with my favorite people.
