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

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
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
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?”
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
by Chris Cloyd We’re taking some space in our September 2020 “Run of the Month” post to congratulate two of our DPMR members on setting new FKTs on our very own TRT this summer!
