AK’s Adventures

Has anyone seen this yet?  I was just flipping through, and caught the tail end of it on the National Geographic Channel.  I think they were also supposed to be on the Today Show. Made it to Woodstock…very hot and humid as expected.

If you’ve never flown out of Long Beach on JetBlue, I would highly recommend it — it took a total of 10 minutes from the time I parked at the offsite lot to when I sat down at the gate.  Also, the flights are pretty comfortable — more legroom (although I don’t really need it), [...]

I understand he’s a local runner. I thought for a sec that he may have been with the OCTR group who went up there the same day. Story here.

In two days, I’m on a plane headed to Woodstock, VA to begin my quest for the Last Great Race — first one up is the original Old Dominion.  Btw, don’t you think it’s odd that the Vermont 100 is also held in the city of Woodstock?  Also, what is up with 3 100 mile [...]

High-altitude runner Matt Carpenter leaves foes gasping for breathBy Brian Metzler, Special To The RockyMay 29, 2007 Put Matt Carpenter at a sea-level running race and he’ll probably finish near the leaders. But give him the chance to race in the rarefied air of high altitude and he’ll leave everyone in the dust. Carpenter has [...]

Lisa Conover, who ran in many local SoCal races passed away suddenly a week ago.  You may have seen her running recently at the Wild Wild West 50K, Leona Divide, or the San Juan 50K.  Her favorite race was the AC100, where she recorded a PR of 28:20 just last year.  Tuesday evening, May 22, [...]

Yesterday, I ran the 41st Annual Mt Wilson Trail Race for the first time — interestingly enough, it was after I moved away from Sierra Madre where I used to live, which was about a 5 min jog to the start line.  The race was first held in 1908, only 3 years after the Dipsea [...]

Looks like the forecast calls for isolated thunderstorms, and 86 for the high, and 61 for the low — average for the year is 80 and 54 respectively. Humidity will be a very dry 50% — thank goodness.
