Running the Tokyo Marathon
–
My first stop in Japan was Tokyo, to run the 2015 Tokyo Marathon. Miho and I had originally entered the marathon registration lottery months before, however unfortunately, only I won an entry. I still had a good run without her – although not nearly as much fun or motivation to kick ass! Running through the…

Entering Cambodia via Phnom Penh
–
Vietnam was great, and I really wish I could have spent much more time there. It’s certainly a country worth returning to. However, I was on a somewhat tight schedule, and still wanted to see Cambodia. I took a bus across from Saigon to Phnom Penh, and checked into the Mad Monkey Hostel in the…

Running in Newark
–
Finally, an outside run for the week. After National Registry EMT-B testing, we got out of class a bit early. There was just enough sunlight left for a quick 5 mile run out to the industrial wasteland surrounding Newark, California.

New years eve always sucks. You always end up getting very excited and concerned over having the “perfect” new years, and being in the best spot right at midnight.. and inevitably, it never happens.

A few thoughts moments after finishing the NYC Marathon in 03:53. I ran with my Apple iPhone 4 in a n armband, although I didn’t use it to listen to music or track anything.

Accidental Half Marathon? Hello 4-Mile Canyon.
–
After training for about a month at 9,000 feet in Telluride, Colorado, running in Boulder at about 5,000 feet felt great. I initially intended to go out for a quick 5K jog, but got caught up in the good vibes of Boulder Canyon and 4-Mile Canyon and ended up hacking out a half marathon. Kick…

Today after WFR class, my friend Amber and I took a beautiful 10mile trail run around Turquoise Lake, just outside of Leadville, Colorado. Amber is a three time finisher of the Leadville Trail 100 race, and it was interesting running with her to hear about the world of ultra running. Taking it slow and long…

I’ve been running this race since college, and every year it’s great. The entire town comes out to watch, everybody has fun, and the…
