movingdogward: June 2012

Thursday, June 14, 2012. Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain That is pouring like an avalanche, coming down the mountain. A different kind of report folks! Here is the story of my no summit of Mt Hood, the highest point of OR. We planned this trip a few years ago when the High Pointers. And spent a lot of time lingering at the host hotel, swapping stories, looking at the weather, and planning. We spent one free afternoon driving out to Bagby Hotsprings. Dave then stood up and an...

movingdogward: August 2011
http://movingdogward.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. You better be good to me. So far, this has been a pretty fun week. On Wed. nights, I usually run with a group from Sports Basement. It's a fun diverse group of runners and while I really enjoy running alone, it's nice to have some company from time to time. After this week's run, there was a Fit Fest, which had about a dozen vendors and snacks and raffles. Raffles are always fun! I did win a raffle, it was a gift bag with a rather interesting array of items, including:. Last nigh...

movingdogward: September 2011
http://movingdogward.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. This week was a very sold training week, I was tired from our trip to AZ, but things went well:. Tues 6.4 miles with 5x1k. Wed: 3.6 easy. Sat 3 easy, 4 mile race. I went into the week tired and was pretty much running tired all week, but ran everything as planned. According to the race website:" The 4 mile course is relatively flat and fast within Mitchell Canyon" The key word there is RELATIVELY. Here's the profile for the 4 miler. For the start, I wanted to be up front since...

Monday, June 27, 2011. I keep up with the racing rats. Welcome to my new training plan: run almost not at all and race my way into semi-shape. I'll let you know how that works out for me. Anyway, here's an update:. Last week at the races, I thought I was 4th. I was actually 3rd. I know moving to SF I've coming to a much smaller pond of runners. I've never placed so high so often in races. Links to this post. Friday, June 17, 2011. It's all business in the left hand lane. Update from last week's race:.

Monday, April 9, 2012. I'm swimming, I'm flying, I'm dying. Welcome to another installment of Audra Learns the Trails of the Bay Area by Running Trail Races. On this week's adventure, we take on the Berkeley Hills by running the Grizzly Peak Trail Half. Your distance may vary, it was actually 12.8 miles which proved to me more than enough. Let's start with the course profile shall we? Now back to our regularly scheduled misery:. I don't trip and no one else comes around me. Loren is at the finish with Ba...

movingdogward: May 2012

Monday, May 21, 2012. Her dirty paws and furry coat, She ran down the forest slope. This should really be called what not to do when you're not in shape to run a half marathon (on trails no less) and have a turned ankle that just won't get better. Loren and I (and Barb! Signed up for Horseshoe Lake. Still, I spent the week lamenting. My biggest concern really is not running, it's being able to climb Mount Hood in early June. Loren and I are heading up there for a summit attempt with Highpointers. This co...

movingdogward: My City By the Bay
http://movingdogward.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-city-by-bay.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. My City By the Bay. Yes yes yes, it has been a long time since I've posted. Now I'm back with a race report. Since Rainer in Sept, I ran a few trail races which went fairly well. Mid Oct. I did a trail half where I was out run in the last 200m and took 3rd in my AG. I did a Halloween race on Halloween which was fun, but in the dark. I got off course and ran about 2 extra miles which cost me a few places in the standings. Oh well. Loren and my running sisterwife Barb came to volun...

movingdogward: Laying low and wasting time
http://movingdogward.blogspot.com/2012/01/laying-low-and-wasting-time.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Laying low and wasting time. I have not updated in a while. Not that there's been much to update, but I have been internet running related laying low. I figured I would do the old year end/new year wrap up. In 2011, I ran 1264 miles. Not setting any records there, but it was 200 miles more than 2010. Mt Rainier: 14, 410' glaciated peak. Mt Hood 11, 239' glaciated peak. Granite Peak 12,799', 22 miles round trip, plus technical climbing. Denali the name says it all. Im so impresse...

movingdogward: July 2011
http://movingdogward.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 22, 2011. So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass. This week, I think I may have been 5th or 6th and I'm not sure if super fast 40 something was there, so AG unclear. 33:35. I crossed the line very satisfied in my tactics. Not a PR, but a smartly run race. As far as over all standings for the series, I'm holding on to first in my AG. Though I missed 1 race and know I will miss 1 more. THere's a woman who's run all of them so she is just lurking behind me in points. Now the US ...
