4 weeks in and work almost obliterates my running goals. If it weren't for these epic weekend long runs I'd be lost. Good medicine. Good people. Good challenge. Good fun.

great Hollywood Reservoir - Long 9 mi 01:34 10:26 pace
First time out with the little man in a long while. He was a champ! Didn't sleep. Checked out a couple deer… Twice! We had a great time. And daddy got to run.

great Griffith Trails - Long 10.25 mi 02:21 13:44 pace
Another fun run with Ezra & some Pasadena Pacers. Went a new way for me, tackling some trails on the Greek Theatre & Observatory side. Nice couple chunks of climbing. I had a piss poor runn... read more

great Sam Merrill Trail - Long 10.28 mi 03:14 18:50 pace
New trail for me with Ezra & the Pas. Pacers. Lot of climbing to some cool old ruins, where we left Ezra and continued on to Inspiration Point, a great overlook. First 5 miles were pretty much ... read more

good Home Run - Cutdown 7 mi 01:07 09:36 pace
Could've gotten out earlier, but was sucked into watching "The Defiant Ones" with Alina. Some compelling stuff. Run went well. I left my cutdown paces set on my Garmin to the same as... read more

good Griffith Trails - Long 9 mi 01:55 12:47 pace
Another enjoyable run with Ezra and the Pasadena Pacers! Threw in a few (3) hill repeats, that were fun and challenging. Doubled back a few times on the trail to stretch it out to 9 for my plan... read more

good Home Run - Cutdown 7.01 mi 01:03 08:59 pace
Went out there feeling energized, and once again ran the warmup faster than my "easy" pace. Practically ran it at the cutdown pace. Eased up a little for the cool down, but even fast sti... read more

great Home Run - Hills 5.93 mi 00:58 09:50 pace
Felt surprisingly good. Was a little fast on my warm-up, but the effort felt right. Been wanting to include some very steep, short hills at the old Oakwood Apt. complex. They're REALLY steep, ... read more

good Rubicon Trail - Long 10 mi 02:31 15:06 pace
After a dense holiday week where I struggled to get runs in, we are now spending a brief time on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. With so many iconic trail runs, I didn't know where to start. I r... read more

good Home Run - Threshold 6.12 mi 00:55 09:03 pace
Hot, mid-day threshold run. Holiday weekend set me back. Snuck this in, but had to cut it a little short. Intervals were recorded all jacked. But I think I got the benefit.

RUN
good To the Batcave! - 10EZ 10 mi 01:53 11:15 pace
Overslept and missed Ezra and the Pacers leaving The Autry, but went out anyway about 30 mins late. Caught up with them at the Batcave turnaround. Rushed a bit up to that point and didn't cons... read more

good Home Run - 6EZ 6 mi 00:58 09:39 pace
Almost didn't get out… Though technically run very early Sat morning, I'm going to call this a late Friday night run. Somewhat faster than my EZ pace, but felt right. Times kept getting a... read more

good Home Run - Fartlek 7.99 mi 01:13 09:10 pace
Runs are going better with more rest in between. Played out such that I got an opportunity to experiment with the variability built into my schedule. No wiggle room really left, as far as what days... read more

great Hollywood Sign - EZ 11.86 mi 02:52 14:30 pace
Great time out with a bunch of strong Pacers. Beat the heat, enjoyed good conversation, spectacular views and a few more miles than I'd planned!

good Home Run - Speed Dvlp. 5.94 mi 00:57 09:31 pace
Speed work on Sarah St. Pretty tired going into this. Almost bailed, but took some advise and modified slightly on the fly. Thought about doing a 1 mile warm up and cool down, but felt I'd ben... read more

great Griffith - 7EZ? 7 mi 01:18 11:09 pace
Really dug that trail run. Felt strong. Timing was perfect for a lovely sunset into the glow of dusk. Full-on magic hour.

good Home Run - 5EZ 5 mi 00:48 09:41 pace
Took a while to get in the groove. Felt into it after 3+ miles.

great 2017 Valley Crest Trail Half ... 13.28 mi 02:08 09:40 pace
Right on. Not a huge PR, but a course PR I've been chasing for some time nonetheless. I was hoping to get sub-2:09 and was pleased to succeed. My previous best on this hilly course was 2:09:53... read more
