Honey Stinger
I’m overjoyed to be affiliated with a company so ahead of its time. Honey Stinger, as a brand, is a group of folks I admire for several reasons: natural and organic, new concepts, and letting athletes drive the direction. All of the products taste great and work at any stage of the race.

SoCal is Where the Mountains Meet the Sea - 06/07/2013
First of all everyone has an idea or a thought about what Los Angeles is, what it offers and why they go. I have been brought up watching movies and TV that paint LA as an ultra hip posh town. With swanky restaurants and celebs every which way. Everything outdoors usually involves a beach and palm trees. While this is part of LA it is not all of LA and SoCal. It’s also not even close to why I come to SoCal. LA is surround by mountains on 3 sides and the ocean on the other side. More...
Sabrina Basin - 10/31/2012
I had just enough time to squeeze in a morning run to Hungry Packer Lake and make it back in time for a run to Dusy Basin later that afternoon. On this morning there was some breeze that precluded the type of mirror-like reflection in Sailor Lake that I had witnessed in 2007, but further explorations to Hungry Packer Lake’s outlet yielded some nice shots.

Running and Beer: Derrick Spafford on the Finer Things in Life - 08/27/2012
Funny enough, there was probably a beer connection to the start of my running streak as well. I went through a period where I wasn’t happy with my races. This coincided with a period where I was probably enjoying going out a little too much, and not living a healthy lifestyle.

I sipped the Water, but was denied the Drink at Nueces 50 Mile - 03/12/2013
Straight up, this is a hard blog to write right now. My feelings are swinging between stop racing all together and I want to attack one, two, several races over the coming year. More...
Downtime - 10/31/2012
Not running a fall race was probably a good call though, as I was having issues with my temperamental right achilles tendon, and I felt that it could use some down time. I was still getting out for runs every day, but kept runs to the bare minimum for most of a 4 week period. More...

Buddy Jones: New Season, Focused Schedule, New Goals
I think the biggest factor to success in anything I have done in the past has been to set clear and concise goals for what I wanted to do. To merely have a training program or plan is simply not enough. You need to know where you want that training program to take you. This year I have done things a little differently in my goal setting and season preparation.
