2019 Lake to Lake Pub Run
After years of trying, we successfully captured the Donner Party “brand” in a season-ending group run. A couple years back someone almost got lost in the woods. Another year it snowed the day before our run. One time Steve Bulena got hungry and took a bite out of Adam Kimble’s arm (okay, I made that […]
November Audio of the Month
Winter is looming. For most of us, the running season is coming to a close. I have been finding myself spending a lot of time thinking about the past season and wondering what next year should bring.

October Audio of the Month – “FloriDada” and “Good to Go”
The right tune can really bring some spunk into your step. While running down Shepherd’s Pass trail at dusk after a long day, “FloriDada” by Animal Collective (169 beats per minute) made me forget my fatigue and literally start dancing down the trail. It’s got a reasonably fast tempo and a strong, driving beat delivered […]
