I wanted to write up a quick race report for my recent Red Devil 50K experience. The local Run Wenatchee club in the Cascade mountains of Washington threw a great race, and I recommend it if you want a true challenge. In fact, I find that I learn a number of lessons with every race, [...]
Imagine your dentist running around in the woods all weekend, fighting through 60-degree temperature changes, from highs of 80, down to snow and sleet and 20 degrees. Imagine doing this on almost no sleep as they have 60 hours to complete over 100 miles and elevation gains that are equivalent of climbing Mount Everest twice. [...]
In the latest edition of You Can Be Found Anywhere, you find me running the Mount Desert Island Marathon at Acadia National Park in Maine. The point of the video is that SEO is a marathon and not a sprint. It takes doing the right things over a long period of time and not just [...]
If you are looking for a fun, challenging, but not unattainable destination race in the eastern USA, look no further than the Camptown Races in northeastern Pennsylvania. Located in the tiny town of Camptown, PA, it has the history, the local friendliness and charm, the challenge of a tough trail race combined with a little [...]
What makes a person drive 6 hours one way to run a grueling trail race in the pouring rain, only to towel off and drive back right after crossing the finish line. Well, this was the Wapack. After what has been a very strange running year for me from a health standpoint, I penciled in [...]
We are all different as runners, and my "thing" is that I'm a bit OCD with constantly doing the math on what pace I need to average to reach certain goals. I think I do it as much to take my mind of the fact that I'm running than to actually strategize all that much. [...]
I planned some time ago to at least try one of the ultra marathons at one of the national parks out west. My wife Karen had always wanted to volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT, which is conveniently close to Zion, Bryce Canyon, the North Rim and actually several others. It is [...]
This isn’t about search but is my race report about my most recent running endeavor. I signed up for my first 50K last fall. It is called the PHUNT race and is scheduled in mid-January so who knows what kind of weather you are going to get. Last year there as a steady sleet and [...]
Everyone has a bad race now and then. I had been pretty fortunate that it hadn't happened to me going in to the NYC marathon this past weekend, but I was definitely due for one. It seems like all of my runner buddies had stories of that one horrible race where everything went wrong. Sadly, [...]
Though I will probably slip in an SEO news update somewhere next week, I will also be posting about my marathon experience this weekend, good or bad. I got in to running for the most part when I met my wife, who has always been a runner. Up until that point, I basically always considered [...]
