Race Report

Stephanie Howe - TransRockies

Stephanie Howe - TransRockies

“Have you had a cat scan lately?”

“Huh?”

“I mean, are you ok in the head?”

Thus begins a conversation with a friend following my explanation of the TransRockies race I just completed.  I guess you do have to be a little bit crazy to run 120 miles for fun

Running the Grand Teton - 09/05/2011

Running mountains. There are lot of runners who enjoy getting out on the trails and running up to a high point before, turning back and returning to their busy lives. For many running a peak is more than just exercise, me included. I deeply enjoy running up mountains, it adds more to a run than simply traveling from point a to b, it adds a destination, a purpose.

Where Did The Summer Go? - 08/24/2011

With the onset of aging taking hold and failure of joints unavoidable, I’m not quite sure what each season is going to bring. It is a fine line between training smart in order to race well or getting carried away with the training miles and intensity only to get sidelined with joint issues. It has taken some time but I have learned some valuable lessons in regard to my training and racing. More...

Hats and Handhelds - 08/15/2011

Here is something we don’t talk much about but as runners the two items are an essential part of our daily grind. Maybe hats aren’t for everyone and maybe a waistpack better suits you than a handheld but for me I typically don’t go on a run without both. What can be said about two very simple items? Probably not much, but here is my take. More...

Last Saturday I ran half marathon at Brazen Racing’s Sanborn Park Trail Quake event. As with most Brazen events, the distance options include a 5k, 10k and half marathon (Brazen Racing primarily focuses on the non-ultra shorter distances with over 20 events per year to chose from). More...

I didn’t actually plan on running the perimeter of Frontenac Provincial Park last week, but it just kind of worked out that way. Sara was away at a conference, so I decided to hit the park for a long run More...

Meet The Team

Sean Blanton

Sean Blanton

As I kept running, I could tell by the ghastly look on their faces that they were somewhat frightened by me. One man even dropped what he was carrying and said to me in broken English, “What you run from?” It occurred to me that they didn’t understand why I was running.
