Dispsea - Lost then on to Mile 7




This video picks up at around mile 2, where we attempt to find the Dipsea trail after we found out we could not cross the creek because of some endangered salmon. We eventually got out and headed to the end of the trail (mile 7) which is at Stinson Beach.

The Dipsea is a 7.4 mile handicapped race from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach. Every year they decide on handicaps based on one's age and seed accordingly.

Double Ant Farm Hike


After a crazy weekend of driving to the Bay area to do the Double Dipsea on Friday, Angeles Crest 100 trail work on Saturday and 27 mile training run on the AC course on Sunday, it was nice to home.

I did this hike last week after the Leona 50 miler and my pace was 20:41 and today it was 19:16. Last week I walked up on a rattler and this week a large spider.

Shin Splints? Quit Pulling My Leg!

Shin Splints? Quit Pulling My Leg!


Back to Running: tricks to get you going.
A strained TA will hurt. Period. A healed TA will also hurt, as it is comprised with irregular scar tissues that require remodeling. How do you remodel? Stretching, soft tissue work, strengthening and – running!
All of the above will be sore and painful. Recognize this as “normal;” however, still respect the symptoms. Your goal should be to have pain dissipate as soon as possible after activity, and gradually decrease day to day: is your shin less painful this morning than yesterday?
Don’t blast through pain; however, don’t avoid it entirely either. No pain = no remodeling = vastly longer healing time. Just like a runner getting fit, TA integrity increases with gradual build-up of load.
