After a pretty mediocre performance at the Peterson Ridge Rumble about a month ago I was determined to come away with a better performance at the Mac Forest 50k.

I was not too sure what to expect coming into this race. I had a great showing a month ago at Chuckanut 50k but I just wasn’t feeling quite as sharp for this one. After Chuckanut I went to Italy and apart from the marathon I ran over there with my girlfriend, I didn’t run [...]

Race Report: 2012 Redding Marathon

Chase — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:05:36 +0000

I chose to do the Redding Marathon this year for two reasons. One, I am currently in the best shape of my life and I decided that I better put that fitness to use. Second, I daydream of the glory that comes from winning races and thought that I would have a great shot of [...]
