I was really excited for the Inside Trail Racing Lake Chabot race this year. I ran it last year and loved the course, plus this year so many friends were going to be there! Chris and I made the easy drive over to Lake Chabot and met up with a bunch of friends before the [...]

Race Report: 2013 ITR Fort Ord 50k
Back when I was scouring the Inside Trail site for what races I wanted to run in 2013, this race very much jumped out at me. I had never been running at Fort Ord, and really had no idea what to expect in terms of terrain, but new trails always sound like a good idea [...]
Race Report: 2013 Brazen NYD Half Marathon
Lake Chabot this morning. I just got back from a beautiful morning run with Jess around Lake Chabot and realized that my race report from the New Years Day race around this lake was still sitting in draft form in Windows Live Writer. So, before I get wrapped up in writing about my Mt. Diablo [...]
Race Report: 2012 ITR Rodeo Beach 30k
I am a little tardy with this race report, you know since this race happened way back in 2012. I didn’t want to end my year of running in the Marin Headlands with a DNF. I had my eye on this race for a few months, and once I knew I was in good shape [...]
Race Report: ITR Mt. Tam 50k
I have a lot of runs and training to catch up on, but I just have to sit down and write this race report while it’s very fresh in my head. When I made my training plan for The North Face 50M, I was able to rely a lot on things I learned from training [...]
Race Report: ITR Berkeley Trail Adventure 35k
(source) Another weekend of long runs, and another Inside Trail race to kick them off! I realized too late I was a big fail in the picture department, so this will be a wordy post. I have been looking forward to this race for a long time. I love running in Tilden park and [...]
Race Report: 2012 ITR K2 Summit 35k
When I started writing my North Face 50M plan (which I promise I will post about someday), I pretty much stalked every Bay Area trail race there is to see what races would work with my plan. Luckily my favorite Inside Trails has a lot of races to choose from, both in distance and locations. [...]
Race Report: 2012 ITR Skirt ‘n’ Dirt 25k
I love using trail races as training runs. Not only do you have the fun race atmosphere, but the courses are marked and supported. It’s a great way to get to know new trails and practice race day fueling, since you have all the great aid stations along the way. I was even more excited [...]
Bay Area Trail Running
A very frequent question I have been getting from readers is where to go trail running in the Bay Area, and along with that, how to find trails. One thing trail running has made me realize, is how much I love where I live. We have access to so many trails, all with different terrains [...]
Race Report: 2012 San Francisco 1st Half Marathon
I had a feeling this was going to be a weekend full of runner love and it sure was! This was my 5th year in a row participating in one of races that the San Francisco Marathon puts on. It seems that I have started somewhat of a pattern with the SFM events: 2008 Full [...]
