With everything going on it is easy to forget about a great opportunity we have right here on Oahu in early December. On Sunday, December 6th we can all participate in a world class event in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Kualoa Ranch will again be host to the XTERRA Trail Running…
Below is a link to our John Muir Trail adventure including some incredible photos thanks to Erik Herman's amazing talent. Enjoy and laugh a bit. Report from the JMT
My race report follows. Warning – It is long. Western States 2009 – Unexplored Resilience Western States 2009 was epic. Not because I had the race of my life (I didn’t) and not because I reached some higher consciousness (just a little confusion and inability to think); but because I went to new places with…
Well I have finsihed my LONG report from my adventurous trip to California. If you wish to read it is available here. I would also like to extend a welcome home and a job well done for all who prepared for and tried their best at WS 100. Aloha and E Komo Mai. See you on…

Well I am back from my California Running Adventure and it couldn't have been better:) Holcomb Valley 33 Miler on June 14th in Big Bear Lake, California had to have been the most challenging for my lungs. The whole course is above 7000' and I sure felt it. I showed up 1.5 hours before race…
If you never dare to dream, you never really live. For me, I am very pleased with the outcome of the event despite not completing the distance goal. The awareness and support for Trevor was the main goal, and for that I cannot be happier. Ultimately, I had to withdraw after some health problems…
Well I am more than halfway through the month in this challenge. There are 5 of us out of 9 left. After today we will have run 171 miles. Collectively we have run 1028 miles. I have ran 177 miles since the 1st of November. I went to California, to see my Grandma pass away, and continued the challenge running…
….Here M. Minch recounts the running adventure so named above, having taken place last Saturday and in the company of noted Ultra runners Ernest Tay and Fish. (Note: a few explitives remain in this highly edited version of reality. Somethings just can not be said any other way.) After the Run with a…
This race-pace training run up on the N. Shore at Peacock has generated some interest and discussion. Who would have thought so many people would be willing to give up shopping at Ala Moana on a Saturday in December to go run 50 miles? Apparently quite a few people. The only other explanation is these…
Cheryl and I were just out to do a clean up at one of the drops and make sure it was stocked for the Friday/Saturday training sessions. It didn’t take us long to clean things up, and restock and we were ready to go back to the cars. Standing there on the trail, it was…
Well, the thunder should have given me a hint. The winds that broke my deck umbrella another clue. And the mud flowing over my retaining wall, just a slight idea that the trails may be damp. Since I have a pre-negotiated schedule with my wife, I didn’t have a choice. So come Sunday morning during…
