This past weekend was a blast for several reasons.
I recently joined a FaceBook (FB) running group named 'TrailTime!' that not only focus exclusively on trail running but also started later in the morning! Many running workouts start 6AM or even earlier so runners can get a workout in and make their long commutes to work or are just early risers. And early mornings generally equates to cooler starts with more running before it gets hot midday. However, for us running sloths (or at least non-morning people) getting to a training start by 6AM means waking up at 5AM and it is just not going to happen especially on a weekend. Thank goodness for TrailTime! and their typical 7-8:30AM start times!
The two TrailTime! runs this past weekend were:

2014 : Mid-year race review
Below is a brief 6 month review of 2014. Crazy but fun list of races and training has been all over the map.
- One 10 mile race
- One Half Marathon
- One Marathon
- One 50K
- One 200 mile relay
- The Dipsea and Dipsea Double
Distance 710.2mi
Time 124h 48m
Elevation Gain 51,988ft
Runs 81
For the second half I'm focusing on ultra distances. Basically a couple of 50ks and Marathons leading to my first 50 miler scheduled on 10/11.
Next year I promised to be more focused (well at least I can try)!

Race Report : Brazen's Double Dipsea June 21st, 2014
Once I heard that Brazen Racing was helping (taking up?) host the 45th annual Double Dipsea I signed up immediately. If you are not from the greater San Francisco Bay Area you might not know about Brazen but they are amoung a handful of experienced trail race hosting companies known for high volunteer to runner ratios, well stocked Aid Stations (AS), finisher tables and good vibes!
I previously commented about running The Dipsea and training for the Double Dipsea. Now it was obviously time to put all that training and experience to work for the actual race...right? Well not exactly. Sometimes life throws you lemons and you have to attempt to make lemonade. Here is my tale of lemonade making.
