Here is the list of potential adventure runs in California’s High Sierra! Bar exam studies will likely preclude getting to most of these this summer, but I’ll be living in California so there will be plenty of time in the coming years to run through these peaks (and more) in the high Sierra. See Washington…

2008 Adventure Run Ideas – WA
As I sit here with a strained groin and a healing process that is proving painstakingly slow, I can’t help but think about potential mountains for adventure running. What is adventure running? Find out here. In traditional mountaineering, it would take a long time to get through the list below (2-5 days for each), but…
El Corte de Madera Preserve Run
I have not run at El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space preserve since September so it was definitely time to revisit some of the great trails this park has to offer. I ran for 1:38 and covered around 13.5 miles. It took me some time to find a rhythm, but I had some hop…
Redwood Regional Run
After taking the MPRE exam in Alameda, it was a great opportunity to run the fine trails of the East Bay. After the test, I drove out to Redwood Regional Park. I parked at 11500 Skyline Blvd and the loop was as follows: Dunn Trail, Graham Trail, West Ridge Trail, the entire French Trail, Orchard…
Foothills Park – Los Trancos Trail Loop
Today I ran the Los Trancos Trail in Foothills Park. The trail is a hilly 7.5 miles that is nearly a loop (the start and finish are about .4 miles apart). I haven’t run here in over a year so I forgot how beautiful the scenery is on this trail. One of the best sections…
Portola Valley Ranch
There are so many sweet places to run around here it’s tough to make up my mind where to go! I ultimately settled on Portola Valley Ranch, a spot I enjoyed on my one other run there a few weeks ago. The Ranch was lots of fun again, providing 66 minutes of sweet trail running…
PCTR Skyline Ridge 50k
I was fortunate to run in another great Pacific Coast Trail Runs (PCTR) event this weekend at Skyline Ridge! This time I participated in the 50k run. I ended up finishing first place in 3:58:11, my first sub four hour effort over 50k on a relatively tough course with continuous hills throughout (some steep) amounting…
Huddart
Another spectacular day with temperatures in the upper 60’s and clear blue skies. I was fortunately able to take advantage with a run at Huddart Park, one of my favorite places to run trails. I did my usual loop within the park up to Skyline Boulevard. Total running time was a bit over 63 minutes…
Windy Hill Loop
Today I did the Windy Hill Loop and it was awesome as usual. Running time was 1:26 with about 12.5-13 miles covered. Despite a little mud, the sunny skies and fresh air after last week’s rain were a treat. The visibility from the summit of Windy Hill along the Anniversary Trail was spectacular. The sights…
Huddart and Skyline Trail
Today I ran at Huddart Park and a nice section of the Skyline Trail (Bay Area Ridge Trail) heading towards Wunderlich Park. Total running time was 1:30 with about 13.5 miles covered. I felt stagnant at the beginning (common for me after a rest day), but finally got into a rhythm about 45 minutes into…
