Run Edgar Run!

911. I. Got in! Check out the list! Now I'm totally committed to training and running in this world famous event scheduled for Sunday, June 12th! http://www.dipsea.org/2016/entrants2016.html The Dipsea Race: First run in 1905, the Dipsea is the oldest trail race in America. It is run every year on the second Sunday in June. The scenic 7.4 mile course from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach is considered to be one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The stairs and steep trails make it a grueling and treacherous race. And its unique handicapping system has made winners of men and women of all ages. Because of its beauty and challenge, it is a very popular event, and because of safety and environmental concerns the number of runners is limited to about 1,500. While racers enter from all over the world, the Dipsea is primarily a Northern California event and the entry process is tilted slightly to favor local contestants. http://www.dipsea.org/ Stay tuned on my results!

I would have to say this running event wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. On the previous week, I completed a San Francisco Half Marathon. Time: 2:08. Ironically, I complete this recent run here in Waikiki by the same time. Who would have thought? The process to train for a running event is never an easy feat. But if you want to finish a run respectively, you've gotta train. The good thing is that I was in good company to be motivated. I had a friend join me in a run and it was much easier than doing it alone. A couple of days before the actual run, we both did a trial run along the elevated route to see how it was looking. It wasn't as bad. At times, you had to really begin to process the length of the race and time. Overall, the weekend festivities that lead up to this event was really fun. From the expo registration to the starting line, it was really festive! Surprisingly. Next run? Not sure what is up; I need to be ready for the next choice as training an...

Yesterday, I completed the 2016 Transamerica Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon San Francisco. Along with 9,000 + runners, I managed to cross the finish line at under 2 hours and 15 minutes for 13.1 miles. I've done a few of these runs in the past but this one was really a challenge. One was my extra training to complete a run that would span over 13 miles in cold San Francisco and my concerted effort to help fund raise on behalf of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. I want to thank everyone who donated to my cause and for those of you who have not, there is still time. I find this to be an important organization to help fund. I was glad to be a part of it; join me on my efforts. Running. Fundraising. Purpose. Donate: http://heroes.stjude.org/donatetoday4edgar Half Marathon Results
