Ohlone wilderness 200 mile run

I am still amazed and how great I felt during the Ohlone 200 miler.

The first two days I just survived the heat of the day the last night I had to surviving howling wind and cold temps. I kept my mind positive and focused the whole time.

I need to thank those who made my run a success ; Ohlone 50k RD Larry Engle who have me the green light  to do my 200, of course to my favorite parks people EBRP all the rangers , Gordon, Neil, John , Paul and Mark who think I'm crazy but help me by telling the East bay parks police I know what I'm doing and I'm safe so it allows me to do crazy ass runs out there after the park is closed.

My pacers who took time out from their busy life to help me get to the finish Kathy D'Onofrio my main girl, who has been a part of all my crazy adventures since 2008 I think, without her I think I would have a hard time she has taught me a lot about staying positive, Donato Polignone who can talk my ear off and makes me laugh with all his crazy adventure stories plus he believes in me which is the key to keep me moving, Todd Shipman who this was his first time pacing me he had the hardest job the last 50 miles being a father of 1 year old twins I knew he would have patients when I slowed way down. He is training for the Tahoe 200 so it was important for him to see how a person gets when being awake for 76 hours. Each of you were rockstars and we all have great stories to tell I'm sure.

A big thank you to my roommate Jerry  for always allowing me to use his house as base camp ;-) and one last  thank you to David Christofili for all your messages while I was out there.

Also thanks to all my friends on FB for following me and believing in me. Oh and Trumie the dirt Doxie for pacing me 4 miles 

Xoxo

It's been awhile sorry I'm a blog slacker.

My Truman had eye surgery but he's fine now. He hasn't run since April 3rd and has been sporting the cone of shame, which BYW will come off Monday, I hope.

Me I have been running like nobodies business. Mt. Diablo 50k was last weekend I was 2nd in my age yay!!

I'm getting ready to run Salton sea 81 mile time race next week that will be fun. It's teams of three and you run together the whole way.

Ok here's some Radom shots from this past weeks training. Enjoy.

BLU relentless 100 is in the books.

Sometimes words come out of me and I don't know where they come from or why. They're like falling stars tumbling through the universe; bright, burning things that can't be stopped.

Life has been awesome !! Ran MUC 60 miler and finished in 12:30. Fought a hard fight,, bladder infection but still managed to finish right on the money!! Woo hoo

Last weekend was spend with one of the most amazing woman I have ever met. She's smart, beautiful , sexy , strong and kicks ass at everything she does. She is a acupuncturist in Bend Oregon. Her name is Almine Barton. Her ex husband and my exhusband were climbing friends. I knew her X but never met her until this past weekend. 

We had a worldwind weekend , but we had fun, I took her running in Yosrmite. We had a blast! I also taught her all about the Tinder app. And how to swipe right if you like someone. LOL

We had never met but we bonded and will hang out again soon we are new BFF's

I will be running BLU relentless 100 miler this weekend I will be going for my 104 , 100 mile run. Woo hoo!

Looking forward to the fun !'

Thanks to Falk Gottlob and Casey Cooper for crewing and pacing me.

The sun shines not on us but in us.

OMG I'm so far behind in my blog posts!

Here's photos from my last race Coldwater Rumble 100. It was an awesome race!!

Good times

Well I will be running a half Marathon with Truman next week at ITR's Lake Chabot woo hoo

In the end there doesn't have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.

This weekend was a blast it was all about shenanigans on the trail and making runners smile at HURT 100. First time in 14 years I did not run the race but came to help. Congrats to every runner who started no matter if you finished or not. Just starting is amazing. You all rock!!

Ok I'm running 100 miles or more for the 102nd time at Coldwater rumble 100 in Arizona. Wish me luck friends and send me positive vibes please!

Nathon vapor shape hydration pack

I have always loved Nathan hydration packs and bottles. I loved the fact they make woman's specific packs.

The intensity has been my favorite since 2005. But this year the vapor series came out.

I love how much space this pack has! It feel like it's part of my body it fits like no other pack before it. These photos are from my 49 hour birthday run, yes I said hours not miles. I was self supported for the first 12 hours so I was able to carry everything I needed it road so comfy.

I was surprised how it never bounced or felt to tight. I like how you can tighten your straps , very simple with just a quick pull of the straps. When the load get lighter I just tighten the straps.

I love how stylish the pack is, super cute. I have recommended this pack to everyone even bought my friend one for Xmas.

I never knew I could loveva pack more than the intensity but I do.

Looking forward to Nathans next pack in the Vapor series and it's purple. Go out and at least try this pack on.

I will be using this on all my adventures and races.

Truman approves the pack as well since we have so many extra pockets for him and his favorite snacks.

Nathan thanks for constantly making great packs!!
