I realize it’s short notice but we’ve just worked out the final details to premier our new TRT Documentary, “A Glimpse of Heaven and a Taste of Hell” .
You’re all cordially invited to join us this Saturday morning at the [...]

Got this bad news the other day.  Their big event is coming up, and could use some help.
Dear Friends:
We are sad to report that on Saturday afternoon (Sept. 22) the offices of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) were hit by a catastrophic fire.  Fortunately, no one was injured. However the blaze, which apparently was electrical [...]

…I think.  Just got an e-mail saying I was accepted into the new Coyote 2 Moon.  Hmmm…now what?  I think I may have to actually train now.

Today is day 3 of the 5 day stage race.  The Skaggs Bros of Montrail (Kyle, just coming off a course record victory at Wasatch) are leading, Gore-Tex Vortex is second, and Running Times (Adam Chase and Michelle Barton) are third overall.
Daily results can be found here.  You’ll see lots of familiar names on the [...]

Well, I just finished packing my drop bags for the AC100 this weekend.  Why does it feel like I just did this not long ago?  Hmmm…maybe because I did — last week for Wasatch.
Speaking of which, I finished…barely.  We’re talking DFL with just over 2 minutes to spare before the 36 hour cutoff…and I [...]

Well…after my last-minute packing, I’m now left with getting about 4 hours of sleep until I leave for the airport. I’ll be Twittering while on the road. Watch the race updates here.
