Run Edgar Run!

The last time I ran this race was in 2016. At that time, I managed to finish the half marathon in 2 hours and 8 minutes. Along with my friend, Tedd, we finished respectively for our age group and among overall participants.  However, in 2022, I dealt with the tail end of the COVID -19 pandemic. I may have in fact still been suffering from the effects of the infection, as I did not run as well as I had hoped. This race was tough on my body and my breathing. I had to stop a few times and it was miserable and frustrating at the same time. I was training up to this event but apparently not as well as I hoped.  I hope in 2023, I can rally and do better than this past year's time of 2 hours and 36 minutes. Off by more than 25 minutes!  All done!  Tedd and I - We finished!

This year I'm coming back from a right ankle injury to run in the Marin County 10k on Sunday morning, April 30th. This will be my first run of the year and the first time running in this event! As always, I try to incorporate running in an event to help raise money. In this run, I'm raising funds for the Sustainable Sports Foundation . The Sustainable Sports Foundation addresses the need to promote local athletic events that encourage a healthy lifestyle and supports the values of sustainability and giving back to the community. The Sustainable Sports Foundation donates all net proceeds to give as many children as possible from low-income families in our community the opportunity to learn to swim, and be safe in the water.

This year has been a remarkable running year. As I trained late last year up to the beginning of April of this year, I've had nothing but free reign to push myself to go the distance. First, it was participating in a great running event in Honolulu, Hawaii in April with a good friend of mine to being accepted into a very prestigious bay area trail run in Mill Valley, California in June. But as I wind down to ease up on my running events and weekly routine runs, out of no where comes a very painful right heel that has prevented me from doing any serious runs. I tried running with the pain thinking it would go away but to no avail. Tedd and I at the Hapalua Half Marathon Expo Event Honolulu, Hawaii, April 2016 Dipsea Run , Mill Valley, June 2016 I went ahead and made an appointment to see a podiatrist, only to hear him say, just don't take the stairs at work for awhile and ease up on your distance running. Oh, and also, he says, do some stretching to alleviate t...

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...

I'm competing in the San Francisco Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon as a St. Jude Hero to support St. Jude's lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children. I want to help make sure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude, but I need your support to help me reach my fundraising goal. It costs $2 million a day to operate St. Jude. Did you know that 70% of the funds come from the public? That means your donation, no matter what the size, will help! A mere $500 will help me reach my goal! Please visit my St. Jude Heroes fundraising page to make a donation. Thank you for your support! http://heroes.stjude.org/donatetoday4edgar Sincerely, Edgar Running. Fundraising. Purpose.

As some of you know, I'm an avid runner and enjoy keeping myself healthy. However, on the other aspect of my running, I like to use my runs to help contribute to fundraising for important causes and organizations. This year, I'm fundraising for two. Living in the San Francisco bay area we at times take things for granted. Little do we notice the less fortunate are struggling for basic day to day needs like food and good healthcare. We tend to be insulated. I'd like to reach out to you and ask you to join me in supporting these organizations that engages us to connect with our community's needs. On my end, I'll be running in the San Francisco Giant Race 10K [6.2 miles] on Sunday, August 23rd to help benefit PROJECT OPEN HAND. Project Open Hand depends on the support of generous people in their efforts to provide their mission of meals with love for the sick and elderly a reality. With your generous help, they will continue nourishing some of the neediest ...

Ok. It's official, I decided to train for a marathon, well half at least. But today, as I start my 3-4 week run, a huge rain storm is coming into the bay area. http://www.thesfmarathon.com/the-races/second-half-marathon / The 2nd Half Marathon covers the second half of The San Francisco Marathon. The race starts at Spreckel’s Lake in Golden Gate Park and finishes on the Embarcadero alongside the Main Marathon Finish Line. It passes through Haight/Ashbury, the Mission District, into Mission Bay, and passes AT&T Park, finishing just before the Ferry Building alongside the Main Marathon Finish Line. The course is USATF certified and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.

I haven't ran the largest footrace in the world in years, however, I was able to convince a friend to join me for this fun run! Weather was ideal for running from the bay bridge to the break of Ocean Beach. Finish in just over an hour, but with the added stops and enjoyment of the run, it was actually over an hour and a half.

I am registered for The Giant Race Half Marathon/10K/5K on August 23, 2015 and I am fundraising for Project Open Hand , a nonprofit organization that provides nourishing meals and groceries to some of the most vulnerable individuals living in our community. I invite you to help me raise critical funds for Project Open Hand so they can continue to feed our neighbors who are ill and often lonely. For every $2 you donate, Project Open Hand will provide a nutritious meal for someone in need.   I'm engaging in a year of fundraising efforts. Why? One, it's a year I turned 50 years old. I'm very fortunate that I have my health, love, family, and friends with me. Each entity has shaped my efforts to go after things I never would have even touched or entertained. But I did it. Second, each fundraising cause there is a story behind it. Either a friend or situation touched me to really be reflective of my effort to help. Finally, my ability to simply touch or af...

I'm at it again. I'm training to complete another half marathon, 13.1 miles in the upcoming San Francisco Marathon. While I'm preparing for the run, I'm also encouraging others to either join me in the run or help fund raise for a San Francisco neighborhood-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to transform the community and youth through the MAGIC of collaboration. MAGIC was founded in 2004 by the SF Public Defender’s Office to address San Francisco communities plagued by poverty and violence. Through forming partnerships with community residents, faith based organizations, local government, nonprofit organizations, schools and other foundations, awareness and participation in the struggle for self-determination and a just community was raised. http://momagic.org/about/ Running.
