Ask the Board – “What are your go-to’s for increasing protein intake?”

February 17, 2021 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

Intro by Renee Elsdon Jacobs Every year around this time, I take the opportunity to focus on nutrition and eating habits, with the hope that it will put me in a good place for the upcoming training season. Losing the holiday pounds is part of this, but only a minor component. I am also looking […]

Introduction to Overnight Running

December 15, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season for making lofty goals and putting steps in place to achieve them! If multi-day running adventures have peaked your interest, but you aren’t sure where to start, or you’ve already experimented with it and think there is room for improvement, look no further. We’ve asked a couple of DPMR’s finest overnight runners […]

Intro to Winter Snow Running

November 25, 2020 by Renee Jacobs 1 Comment

Running in winter in the Truckee-Tahoe area is… complicated. Many people stick to the plowed bike paths in the Truckee Area (which gets old after all those months), run on roads (which can get really dangerous in icy/stormy conditions), transition to other winter sports, and/or drive down the hill to Auburn or Reno to get […]

November Run of the Month – Ellis Peak Loop via Barker Pass

October 28, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

For this month, Chris Cloyd takes us on a 12.5 mile loop up to Ellis Peak from Barker Pass, dropping down into the Miller Creek drainage before heading back to your car (for a total of 2,400 feet of climbing). According to SummitPost.org, “The peak provides fantastic views of the Desolation Wilderness, Lake Tahoe, and […]

Ask the Board – “What’s Your Favorite Sports Bra?”

October 26, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

When I asked the female board members about their favorite sports bra, I heard crickets… For most of us, our sports bra is possibly the least-enjoyed piece of gear we own. They don’t fit right, they aren’t comfortable, they cause chaffing, we don’t have the time to find a good/new one so we just keep […]

Member Highlight – Chris Inouye

October 26, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

Introduction by Renee Elsdon Jacobs: “Chris is one of those people that will make you feel like you’ve been friends forever, even if you’ve just met, because of his welcoming smile and comforting demeanor (if he were a doctor, he would have a great bedside manner!) If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him […]

October Run of the Month – Great Options Off USFS Land

September 25, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

By Renee Jacobs The recent USFS closures in California had us all wondering where to go – it seems like most of our favorite places to run are on forest service land! So for this month, we wanted to highlight some of the great options that we have elsewhere. As always, please follow all applicable California, Placer […]

Ask the Board – “What are you reading?”

September 20, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment

Diane Frederic: As a book club selection I’m reading “Humankind” by Rutger Bregman who makes “a revolutionary argument that the innate goodness and cooperation of human beings has been the greatest factor in our success”. I’ll admit that I have fallen recently into the trap of cynicism— especially during our current global pandemic, unprecedented fallout from […]

September Run of the Month – Tahoe Rim Trail Segments from our FKTers

August 30, 2020 by Renee Jacobs Leave a Comment
