80 Bridle Trails 01/10/09   WA 6:27:20 50 km         Consistent loops until the final loop. Very wet and muddy, but fun.

78 Pigtails Flat Ass Marathon 12/20/08   WA 5:04:42 Marathon         Snowy trail marathon with Eric, Steve, Jenny and Linda, most of the way at least. Legs tired out the last 10 miles. Wasn't drinking that much at all since my bottles were frozen.

73 Portland Marathon 10/05/08   OR 5:36:19 Marathon         One of my most memorable marathons. 1st marathon with my wife, Jessica, and her 1st marathon. She beat me by a second :)

70 Des Moines Creek 6 Hour 03/01/08   WA 4:26:05 Marathon         #13 in 12 weeks! Twisty trails near the airport. Well supported loop course with friendly people in charge. The twists and turns made it challenging. I am ready for a break.
69 Yours Truly II 02/24/08   WA 6:09 50 km         Felt decent the first half, but walked a lot the second half. Another beautiful day!

63 Capitol Peak Mega Fat Ass 01/19/08   WA 8:08 34 mi         Only 15 out of 115 completed the 2- figure 8 loops. I have to say that because I was so slow and finished nearly dead last. Me, Eric and Steve ran most of the race together once again. I am still the weakest link.
62 Bridle Trails 01/12/08   WA 6:04:05 50 km         Great weather, but got stuck in the mud the last two loops.
61 Western Washington Fat Ass 01/05/08   WA 7:23 50 km         Nice run with Stoyles and Trail Scat. Faster than last year, but still slow. Had trouble on the second climb, but recovered after about 15-20 minutes.
60 Last Chance Marathon 12/31/07   WA 3:52 Marathon         Great run with Stoyles and Trail Scat. Tough last 10k, but managed to keep moving well enough to stay under 4 hours. My best marathon since Cedar River.

57 Carkeek Park 12 Hour Fun Run 11/17/07   WA 7:18 27 mi         Multiple loop course with quite a bit of elevation gain and loss each loop. Proved to be tougher than I thought. Called it a day after 14 loops and hours of torrential downpours.
56 Autumn Leaves 11/03/07   OR 10:59:33 50 mi         Slow, but was able to keep moving. Felt like I was done after 20 miles, but could still run after 50 miles.

51 Green River Marathon 06/02/07   WA 4:56:33 Marathon         Supposedly I was pacing Cat through her 2nd marathon to qualify her as a maniac, but I am not really sure if I was pacing her or she was pacing me.
50 Eugene Marathon 04/29/07   OR 5:14:32 Marathon         Felt decent until about mile 15. Feet were really bothering me after that and I walked from mile 20-25. This was #50 marathon/ultra.

48 Invest in Youth Fund Run 03/03/07   WA 6:00:00 50.0 km         Ran with sLuG, Possum, and Tiptoes and then Shawn Lawson dragged me out for another mile to make it 50K.
47 Western Washington Fat Ass 01/06/07   WA 8:08:36 50.0 km         Ran number 3 in 3 with Steve and 2 in 2 with Eric. Lots of snow and fun for everyone.

43 Portland Marathon 10/01/06   OR 3:32:05 Marathon         Tried to stick with the 3:20 pace group, but side stitches at the bridge and overall fitness kept me from doing so. Had beer at mile 24 though.

33 Western Washington Fat Ass 01/07/06   WA 6:50:00 50.0 km         The first loop was nice. The second loop had rain, wind, hail, and the trail turned into a stream. Awesome!
