Sasquatch 50k relay
OK! On the training plan this spring is a relay! Never done a relay. Looking FWD to something new. The Sasquatch 50k is in southern Oregon on some amazing trails I’ve ridden a couple times. I’ve always thought about how great this area would be to run. Now I’m committed!

Islands
I love how flying above low clouds in winter looks. There is the top of the mountains just pushing through the weighty look like a strong string of words of encouragement to my kids or wife… Or maybe from a good friend enlightening your understanding of a deep question.

Sunrise Ski
There is something to beating the sunrise in the morning. The world looks so different, so fresh, so quiet… It might be easy for me, since mornings are my favorite time of day. Getting up while it is dark and watching the environment around me become exposed to the first light beams while out for a run, walk, ski, ride or even cup of coffee/tea on the front porch is… right. It is just right.

Six Months off Running
I’ve been dealing with sore feet a bit, a mild case of plantar fasciitis and figured after the Mt Ashland Hill Climb it would be good to take some time off and heal up 99 to 100%! Well after six months off running, but still walking, stretching and MTB, I went for a run. It felt really good to be back out on a trail in the misty early morning.

Running the Mt Ashland Hillclimb: 13.5 miles long, 1 mile up!
So I’ve been a bit out of the running scene. I’ve managed to have a slight pain in my Plantar, so I haven’t been putting in the miles… I wasn’t going to do this race even though I signed up for it 6 months before with all the ambition in the world to dominate myself in it. I just hadn’t been feeling like stressing my feet more than I should and end up with some kind of “life long debilitating deal” that will not allow me to continue a semi-active life… After watching every known yoga video and physical therapist on YouTube talking about Plantar Fasciitus, I took full responsibility to heal up as well as I could and just maybe run this race. I stopped running long distances in mid June and began stretching, massaging and strengthening my feet as best I could. I ran shorter distances in a variety of shoes and even a few runs in my Xero 4mm sandals to keep my feet strong and flexible.

Show Your GPX on a Map with WP GPX Maps
If you track any of your activities with a gps, then you most likely are able to export the tracks into the GPX format. You can easily show these tracks in WordPress with the WP GPX Maps Plugin. This was a great find to easily show my GPX tracks right inside blog posts. Thanks to the Authors!
