Member Highlight – Bruna Gusmao

January 1, 2023 by Renee Jacobs 2 Comments

Intro by Steve Woo If DPMR gave out a Spirit Award or Rookie of the Year Award, the first person that comes to my mind would be Bruna Bradford.  It was only May of this year that I first met her when she showed up for our first Tuesday Social Run but it seems like […]

Got Energy?

August 30, 2022 by Tara DelloIacono Thies Leave a Comment

Energy is currency to do the things we love to do each day. Yet, like money, it can sometimes feel like we never have enough. Food and supplement companies create products to help us optimize energy, sleep and processes that may help improve energy.   But what is energy? Nutritionally speaking and what people think of […]

COVID Q&A Feb 2022 edition

January 31, 2022 by Andy Pasternak 2 Comments

With the omicron surge, I’m seeing many people getting COVID and a lot of questions about COVID. My first comment is that everyone in healthcare is as tired of COVID as the public, if not more so. The physicians, nurses, and other health care providers I know are longing to get back to normal. So […]

California International Marathon 2021: A Return to Racing

December 29, 2021 by admin 3 Comments

Race Report by Christie Jackson CIM was a wonderful reminder that I really love racing. Unfortunately, I have only felt mildly prepared for the few races I have entered during the past 6 years.

December 29, 2021 by admin 2 Comments

By Bri Jaskot I first heard of Run to the Sun, back in 2011, when I was in college, at the University of Hawaii, on O’ahu. My co-worker at Starbucks told me about it and then proceeded to tell me that he had won the race a couple of years in a row. At the […]

Castle Peak 100K Race Report- Meggie Inouye

October 29, 2021 by Meggie Inouye 1 Comment

I awoke extra early on race morning to check the Air Quality Index and was pleased to find a number under 150.  Smokey air was coming from wildfires from the north and the south putting the race at jeopardy. Favorable winds meant that 2021 Castle Peak 100k would run. The Castle Peak 100k course starts […]

As usual when DPMR organizes a party, the weather invites itself. It is going to be chilly 🥶 and there may be a bit of snow towards the top from overnight flurries ❄️ . Dress accordingly and that will make the post run fun in the pub even more enjoyable!
