The year was 2021 the month was September and Tanya and I were celebrating our <b>25th Wedding Anniversary</b>. This special day called for a special trip so we made campground reservations and loaded up the "Ghost Ship" and hit the road. If you don't know what the "Ghost Ship" is well it's our trusty 1994 Ford Custom Van. We have owned her for 22 years and she continues safely transport us a year after year.</p><p>So we set out before dawn; its roughly a 7 hour drive to <a href="https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm">Zion National Park, Utah USA</a>. We arrived before noon checked into the South Campground which is just inside the park. And let the adventure begin.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUAtXLsHjz-j283iAocazoZ_-xU_lxmnC3qwk85bUuOawKmYHn4_wKkmrt-JYfpmeVMtmPN2m0wfd-yu7frldzXz1_fnrRwZMuDwKZT1CnBzcsMs97qqGIzDPEOYR-hv6StbTdaXpUyb9-MMP7sGQExcqzK7VE0uCh727FaiResYsNiVVrtBE-7FBL/s4000/20210915_133726.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

but don't for a minute think our adventures and fitness lifestyle has stopped. So this goes out to the family member on a recent retreat back to Bermuda who said "I have been checking out your blog but you haven't posted in years! What's up with that?" So this goes out to you; thank you for the inspiration! You know who you are 💗. It is always good to spend time with Family and Friends even when the time is Bitter Sweet. To set up the pictures in this post. The time period when these photos were taken was December 2022 through February 2023. As they saying goes a "Picture can say thousand words". </span></i></span></span></div><div><span face="Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></i></span></span></div><div><span face="Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We decided to spend the mornings hiking on this holiday. We are very lucky to live close to some of the best trails in southern California. The Iconic Mt San Antonio Aka Mt Baldy; the Dome which on a clear day can be seen from just about anywhere in So Cal. When we arrived at Manker Flats the trailhead the parking area was already full. There was going to be plenty of company on the mountain today.</div>

The valley below was overcast, but not a cloud in sight as we began the trek to the summit. We decided to ascend on the ski hut route then loop back by the backbone trail and the fire road. Just over 9 Miles. </div>

We made it back down the mountain and back home safe, to find out that while we were hiking there was a 6.4 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ridgecrest_earthquakes">Earthquake in Ridgecrest Ca</a> that was felt throughout the valley. Another beautiful morning spent doing what we enjoy; spending time together in nature.</div>

Last month on June 15 Tanya broke out our trail shoes and headed up into the mountains. Big Bear to be exact to run the Holcomb Valley Trail Race. We have run the Ultra distance there a few times in years past; but this year we decided to run the 15 miler. The sun was shining and the temperatures began to rise early! The views of Big Bear lake were stunning and the snow on the distant peaks in the middle of June was special to see!</div>

Another fun day spent together, doing what we really enjoy; running and hitting the trails.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometime in April 2017 I was talking to my cousin Clint
Johnson and he challenged me to find and compete in a California bodybuilding
competition. He said, he and his wife
Paulette would make it a California bodybuilding vacation. He wanted to show
his younger cousin “How to do it”, he was feeling very confident after placing
in a few East coast events; I could hear the bravado in his voice. So, I didn’t say yes at that moment; I needed to think about it. I knew what
challenge lied ahead for me if I accepted his challenge! The weight training
wasn’t going to be the hard part, I’m a health coach a marathoner and trail
runner! Training and working out is part of who I am! But to lean down into single digit percentage body fat to show case
lean muscular development was going to be the bear; the all-encompassing
commitment day in day out to deprive yourself, to sacrifice. That was going to
be the hard part; was I willing to go through that; in the past I had tried and
failed. So, I said let me think about it and I will get back to you. Participating in a bodybuilding or a physique
competition was a bucket list type of event for me, so I started looking for
events and began talking to Tanya about it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tanya was of course in right away, she told me she would
help me and support me if I stayed committed. If you didn’t already know my
wife Tanya was once a competitive bodybuilder, earning the title of Miss Bermuda. She knew
what it was going to take and how to get there! After a short search we chose
the date of July 4<sup>th</sup>, 2018 the Venice Muscle Beach competition, the
Mecca, the Birthplace of bodybuilding.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I called Clint and told him “I am in! let’s do this!” The
date of July 4<sup>th</sup> gave us both just over a year to prepare, so no
excuses, put up or shut up! We made a friendly wager, whoever placed higher had
to buy the other dinner at a spot of their choosing.<br />

What a day! What an experience! In my category there where six competitors; in the end I placed sixth, the top five were awarded. That of course was a little disappointing but it is all about size and peaking at the right time. I was as they say in bodybuilding a little "Flat" in the prelims. After eating during the break my body seemed to peak and "Tighten" up for the Finals; but my competition had a little more size and development. </div>

Clint competed in a different category and age group than I. He was in the bodybuilding category (Over 50) with five competitors ;he walked away with fifth place. </div>

Baldy is calling! So we decided to go hiking. Our local mountains have had so much snow this year we knew making it to the summit was out of the question; but a fun brisk walk to the Notch was just what we needed. We made it to the Manker Flats trail head just after 6:30 am the morning sky was already bright and many other hikers where preparing for fun. Getting out doors and experiencing nature and all of its glory is so refreshing and soul cleansing.<br />

The temperature was a chilling 32 degrees at the start but the forecast predicted that the temperatures would rise into the 50's so we dressed in layers. This would allow us to shed as needed as the temperatures began to rise. The fire road was clear and free of snow until the last half mile or so then it was completely ice and snow covered to the notch.<br />

It took us about 1 hour and 15 minutes to make it to the "Notch". Plenty of people had ridden the ski lift to the there to spend the day having fun in the snow. I think most of the ski runs were open, people were sledding, skiing, snowboarding, and hiking like us.</div>

In January Tanya and I traveled to Bermuda to participate in the <a href="https://www.bermudaraceweekend.com/">Bermuda Marathon Weekend</a>. The weekend consists of four races. The first of the three is on Friday night "The Front Street Mile", the second is Saturday morning which is the "Bermuda 10K run and Walk", and the third and fourth race is held Sunday morning which are the "Bermuda Half and Full Marathon". If you are up for a challenge the organizers also offer the "Bermuda Triangle Challenge" which includes the Front Street Mile, the Bermuda 10K ,and either the Bermuda Half marathon or the Full Marathon. Three days of running bliss. Of course Tanya and I signed up for the challenge. We did opt for the Half Marathon challenge, maybe a few years ago we would have run the Marathon but not this time! We arrived on the Island Wednesday afternoon the 16th, this gave us sometime to settle;see and spend a little time with family.<br />
Race headquarters was at the <a href="https://www.thehamiltonprincess.com/">Hamilton Princess</a> which is located in town. Check in was held Friday I believe it was noon to 6 pm. The Front Street Mile start was walking distance from the hotel and was set to begin at 7 pm. Tanya and I arrived at the hotel around 4:00 to pickup our bibs and our t-shirt, we planned to hang out there and walk to the start. The atmosphere was buzzing with energy. Everyone was smiling and happy I could just tell is was going to be a fun weekend. The pick up was well organised and went smoothly,they had plenty of signs and helpful people. To our surprise we received four t-shirts each; one for each race plus a Triangle challenge shirt, all quality running shirts. I thought that was awesome!<br />
Race time! Beyond having a great time and finishing the challenge, we had time goals for each event. For the mile we wanted to go under eight minutes, the 10K under one hour and the 1/2 marathon under two hours.<br />
The Front Street Mile is such and awesome event!, I think the entire Island comes out to support the runners. Throughout the year they have qualifying across the island for the local runners which include primary, middle, and senior school students; local adults male and female categories and invited elite runners. Tanya and I have witnessed the fun in the past as spectators but never participated. <br />

What a fun and organised family event, the challenge has exploded into a popular draw. The runners were separated into color coded corrals, I believe they we done randomly. Fist race done, first goal achieved Tanya ran 7 minutes and 29 seconds and I ran 7 minutes and 14 seconds. Time to eat and hydrate we would be back at it in only a few hours. The finish medal was beautiful.</div>

<br />
Saturday morning came quickly, the 10K start and finish was at the <a href="http://bermudanationalsportscentre.com/">National Stadium</a> and sports centre. Paula and Zina made sure we got there on time and would be our personal cheering section. What a beautiful morning it was.We were about to find out if our training was enough, back to back training runs are on thing but back to back races are another. It was quickly apparent it was going to be a very warm on this run. The Bermuda sun was shining and the humidity was rising, but Tanya and I persevered.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second day, second race finished, second goal achieved! I finished the 10K in 56 minutes and 44 seconds and Tanya finished in 56 minutes and 35 seconds. She dropped me on that final hill climbing back to the National Stadium. A second beautiful medal received. Another well organized and supported event, the participant numbers were high, and the scenery along the course was outstanding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back home to rest and hydrate. Later in the evening Sherry's house was to be the location of the Pasta Party. We needed to replenish our glycogen storage centers with a great carbohydrate heavy meal. A little red wine to relax the mind and body might help also; but just a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the party we made it another early night, and the morning came quickly, we can't thank Zina enough for being our transportation throughout the weekend challenge. The 1/2 marathon start and finish were in Hamilton and on <a href="https://www.gotobermuda.com/profile/front-street/3138">Front Street</a> once again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Day three, third and final race of the Bermuda Triangle Challenge. Tanya and I were feeling good, it was another beautiful Bermuda morning. Having run the full marathon previously Tanya and I knew what we were in for; an absolutely beautiful but challenging course. Our plan was to start at a moderate pace and try to run a negative split. I think any day you are able to get out and run is a good day; and it was. The energy was fantastic, everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves, the course was full of spectators which added to the excitement. We had family cheering for us at multiple locations along the course! The way the course is designed they were able to move to multiple mile markers and keep us energized and on purpose. Sherry, Pam, Paula, Zina, Kenisha, Mahtorrie, and other family and friends we can't thank enough for supporting and encouraging us throughout the entire weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fast forward to the finish, third race done, third goal <u>not</u> achieved. Early on we were on pace to run a sub two hour time, but as the miles increased by so did our pace. In the end I finished in 2 hours and 9 minutes and Tanya finished in 2 hours and 8 minutes. Goal not achieved but that didn't diminish the fun we had running and experiencing the beautiful landscape and beautiful people of Bermuda!</div>

Bermuda Triangle Challenge finished, a third and fourth beautiful medal received! One for the 1/2 marathon and one for finishing the Triangle challenge. If you run for the medals, this is the race weekend for you!<br />
Until next time, thanks for reading and we will see you out there on the roads and trails.<br />

Back on Monday May 28th; (Memorial Day in the USA), three days after we ran the Bermuda Marathon Derby. Sherry, Paula (my sister-in-laws), Tanya and I woke up at sunrise to drive to Warwick, Bermuda. We were headed to the <a href="https://www.watsonsbermudahorsetrailrides.com/">Watson's Stables</a>. The trails and the surf awaited us Bermuda Cowgirls and Cowboys! The anticipation was reeling Tanya and I hadn't ridden in years! Possibly the last time we rode together was in Bermuda over 10 years ago. Sherry is a regular at Watson's Stables and Paula; I don't think has ever ridden a horse in her life! We were in for a blast!<br />
<br />
I am always amazed at what you can find tucked away in Bermuda, when we turned off of middle road, it looked like we were turning into a residential neighbor hood. As we climbed a short incline the road narrowed and off to the left what looked like a former small Bermuda rock quarry; there was the stable. It was perfectly sunken from the road and nestled away, if you didn't know it was there you would easily pass by.<br />
<br />
Tanya her sisters and Mike went way back, no introductions necessary, but not I; so we made fast friends and got ready to ride. Come to find out Mike Watson is a former Bermuda Marathon Derby Champion in 84',85',87',and 91'. He also represented Bermuda in the 1988 Olympics Summer games in Seoul Korea! Awesome!<br />
<br />
Mike was very efficient and ordered, within minutes he had five horses quickly saddled and rigged. Before we new it we were each in the saddle walking around the ring getting acquainted with our new horse friends. Paula mounted her horse like a real pro, after a few minutes of coaching from Mike and told what to expect we were ready to hit the trails. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the waves were waiting, giddy up! Let's hit those trails!<br />
<br />

<br />
The majority of the ride would take place on the <a href="https://www.gotobermuda.com/article/the-bermuda-railway-trail-national-park">Bermuda Railway Trails</a> and <a href="https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5405H_bermuda-tribe-roads?guid=22e809ed-d409-4742-b680-f4a9cd9867a8">Tribe Roads</a>. Mikes knowledge of this trail system; and the history of it was impressive. If I had the opportunity it would be great to just sit and talk to him about Bermuda history. Seeing the landscape on horse back was amazing, being seven feet or more in the air on horseback changes the perspective. I had a constant feeling of awe and slight anxiety. Though the reins give you the feeling of control you are on the back of a large amazing and incredibly strong thinking independent animal. They deserve our respect.<br />

<br />
In those 2 hours we climbed up trails, down trails, through abandoned overgrown bridle paths dating back to 1800's and old historic homes. The climax was reaching and riding out on Warwick Long Beach. I was just something about the beautiful blue water, the pink sand beach and trotting on horseback through the waves. It was fairy tale like, an incredible majestic experience.<br />

A day to remember, sharing this experience with Tanya and my sister-in-laws was a bonding experience; I won't soon forget. If you want to make memories that last, not only visit Bermuda; but while there look up Watson's Stables you won't be disappointed.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was that time of year again for Tanya and I to make our annual pilgrimage to Bermuda to run the <a href="https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda_000108.htm">Bermuda Day</a> <a href="http://www.bermudamarathon.bm/">Marathon Derby</a>; well almost an annual pilgrimage. We didn't run in 2017. For over 100 years the race which is actually a half marathon was run on the 24th of May, but starting this year, the race will be run on the Friday or I assume the Monday that is closest to the actual day. Allowing for a 3 day weekend. If you haven't visited Bermuda, going at this time of the year will give you a great experience of what Bermuda is about. The atmosphere is electric, the entire Island come out to support the cyclist and the runners; which is followed by a parade through Hamilton with representatives from all of the parishes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombey">Gombey's</a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> group dances, traditional Bermuda bands, dance trucks, musicians, floats, pageant queens, community groups. Color, food, music, and fun!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> The race always finishes in Hamilton but switches starting locations between Sandy's parish and St. George each year. This year began in Sandy's. We decided to take the ferry to the start line this year, in years past family usually takes us to the start. We love riding the island ferry's to various locations such as <a href="https://www.gotobermuda.com/our-island/west-end">Dockyard</a>, <a href="https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda2_00001d.htm">Hamilton</a>, and <a href="https://www.gotobermuda.com/our-island/east-end">St George;</a> so we decided lets give it a try this year. The ride was awesome, all traffic was avoided, and the family was able to begin post race festivities setup early, so plus's all the way around. We were joined on the ferry by our nephew Coolidge who also is a annual participant.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Coming from California I am always concerned with the the islands humidity. I am accustomed to running in heat; but heat and high humidity adds a challenging element. We knew we were in for one of those days because as race time approached it was already sunny, warm and sticky! </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Tanya and I decided to run the race together this year and just have fun interacting with the crowd; Tanya seeing and even stopping to hugs friends along the race route. But we also said if one was having a better day it was okay to split, just let our legs decide. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The race started right on time at 9:00 am sharp! That was the last time we saw Coolidge for the rest of the race. He is a fast starter. Tanya and I tend to cruise the first few miles with the intention of running a negative split. I'm not sure but the race entrants seemed to be much lower than past runs. Usually there is an ocean of people leaving from the start, but not this year. I wonder if changing the run date had anything to do with? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I have stated in the past, of all the races and places I have run; this one is my favorite. Not only because it takes place on one of the most beautiful islands and places on earth; but because! No disrespect to my caucasian brothers and sisters, but seeing so many brown and black faces running and lining the course cheering their hearts out is so uplifting to me! I just LOVE it! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First mile down in 9:15:00 on track to run a sub two hour time. That was today's objective cruise have fun, but have a finishing goal in mind. As time and the miles passed the temperature began to rise and so did the humidity. The first half of the race went by fast; we both felt strong and had a good rhythm going each taking turns setting the pace. We saw family, friends and the energy of the crowd made the miles just flow; it was great! But Harbor Road can be a drag and around mile 8 I started falling off the pace and feeling just plainly uncomfortable. I hung on for another mile hoping to push through it, but by mile 9 just before Lovers Lane a said to Tanya "Roll on baby", I wasn't feeling it. I wanted her to finish strong and maybe reel back in that sub 2 hour goal. We had fallen off pace. I slowed my pace, walked through a water stop at Aberfeldy Nursery drank a few cups of water ate some sour gummy bears and just like that the energy came back. Time to finish strong! The crowds on Front Street will energize the weakest of runners and that they did! Just awesome. But the finish is no walk in the park; you still have, short but steep hills to go over through Hamilton; enough to drain the energy of the strongest runner. But one step at a time and soon you will be crossing the finish line in Bernard Park. But not until we get our last burst of energy from the family who are set up on Marsh Folly Road just under a half mile to the finish. It is like a party when we come around that corner! Cheers, screams, horns, mayhem, pure energy! If your feeling down, not for long they are going to pick you up and help you finish strong! Tanya crossed the line in 2:06:00 and I in 2:09:00; big props to Coolidge who crossed in 1:59:00 just getting under that two hour mark. </span><br />

I'm writing this on a lazy Sunday; but yesterday was not a lazy day we were up at the crack of dawn! Up early to knock down some trail miles in the foothills of Claremont CA. I mapped out a 7 mile loop the day before that would combine a mix of road, trail, and paved trail. We have a few new fitness goals for 2018, but the first step to achieving them is to put in the work. As the sun rose we began the first climb, too steep to run so power walk it would be. What's the ultra running saying " Run the flats and the downhills, and power walk the hills"; this has served us well through the years! By the time we reached top of the first climb our bodies were nice and warm and ready to hit the first trails running in Johnson's Pasture.<br />

As we rolled through Johnson's Pasture, it was nice to run into a few other early risers already enjoying the beautiful morning and trekking along. After a few miles the trail linked to the Claremont Wilderness Park system. All of the climbing was over, time to open our strides a little and roll downhill for a few miles. </div>

After we left the Claremont Wilderness Park our loop continued on Mills Avenue to the Thompson's Creek Trail; then it was smooth sailing back to our starting point. The loop was 7.02 miles, done in just over an hour. Nice Mon! Time to head home for some citrus. </div>

Ruby Red Grapefruit and Navel Oranges are great to help recovery after training. They both contain simple natural sugars which are easy to absorb; plus plenty of Vitamin C an antioxidant which has countless benefits. Thank you for reading and can't wait to see you on the trails.</div>

Baldy was Calling12/30/2017<br />
The New Year was fast approaching; Tanya and I realized we had not gone to the summit of Mt. Baldy all year. The trail systems on and around Mt. San Antonio (aka Mt. Baldy) are not just some our favorites; they are in our backyard. So nice to only drive a few miles from home into the Angeles Forest and be able to Hike to elevations of 10,000+ feet., Southern California offers so much for trail runners! We arrived at the trail head at Manker Flats around 6:30 am dusk was upon us. We took a few minutes to gear up and then we were on our way just as the beautiful mountain skies began to brighten. The morning air was fresh and crispy chilly just enough to keep our beanies and gloves on. We chose to ascend the mountain by way of the "Ski Hut/Baldy Bowl trail. This route is a shorter route to the summit (3.5 miles roughly) but that also means that it is steeper than the other routes. Our decent route would be via the Devils Backbone trail to the Baldy Notch then the Fire Road back to Manker Flats. This route is 8 miles. Don't think there is anything better than spending the morning on the trails with my best friend. Being outdoors in the natural elements, just us having an experience with the mountain is so Irie.<br />

At race start the weather was chilly, windy and clear but not as frigid as it can be this time of the year in Ridgecrest. As always the race had a big turnout and seeing many ultra friends and meeting new ones is always fun. In many races we often start together and then gradually separate as we settle into our individual paces; but not this morning for what ever reason we all went our own way. When it was all done we all had a good runs! Man! It always feels good to be on the trails! Tanya had a fantastic day with a 1st place finish in her age group and a 2nd female overall finish. Jeanette and I ran good runs respectively, finishing strong, healthy and injury free. See you on the trails! MJ<br />

Baldy Notch. We met at the trailhead just before 6am. The weather was perfect; not to waste anytime we got going on the roughly 3.0 mile walk. By the number of people at the trailhead we weren't the only ones getting away from the heat of the valley. We all wanted to enjoy the cool crisp mountain air and get a little exercise in!<br />

Last Friday me and my brother from another headed to Wrightwood, Ca after work. We wanted to get a taste of the 15 inches of fresh powder Mother Nature had dropped on our local mountains. What a winter wonderland we drove into; it was beautiful! I hadn't seen snow like that it years, memories of my childhood came flashing back. Skiing had been exciting part of my youth; It had been a winter activity I always looked forward to. But like many things in life you move on, and are introduced to other activities. The previous ones seem to naturally fade away. </div>

So earlier last week when Bobby told me that hes was going snowboarding on Friday. I decided it was time for me to hit the slopes again! I had been at least <u>Twenty Years</u>!<br />

I said to Bobby "Lets go to the top Baby, no need wasting time. After twenty years this may be my one and only run!" After sitting on the chair lift and swiftly being whisked away! I quickly began questioning myself as to the wisdom of this choice! But it turned out getting back on skis was like riding a bike! We ended up making five runs that night. What a fantastic time; it felt great to be in the great outdoors with cold and crisp air quickly whistling by my face! Awesome-ness! I can't wait to go back; and this time it won't take twenty years!</div>

What would a vacation be without a daily dose of trail running; well in our opinion not a vacation at all! This is the perfect time to visit Palm Springs the city is bustling and full of life with all of the snowbirds running away from the frigid temperatures of the Midwest and East Coast! The area is a hikers and trail runner's dream; the local foothills have miles and miles of interconnected trails. If you want to feel snow beneath you feet you can always take the twenty minute tram ride up to San Jacinto.<br />

We arrived in Jamaica on December 2, 2015 with great anticipation!
Not only were we going to run the Reggae Marathon on December 5, but I was
finally visiting the <st1:place w:st="on">Island</st1:place> birthplace of my
favorite musical artist; the Iconic Robert Nesta Marley! I was feeling Irie
Mon! We wanted to experience the "real" Jamaica so we didn’t book our
accommodations at the many beach resorts, we instead found a home to rent in
the hills above Negril. Turned out to be exactly what we wanted. <a href="https://www.vrbo.com/574253">Peartree Hill Estate</a> </div>

The house
attendant and landscaper David was the best. Each morning as we exited onto the
porch he greeted us with just pulled from the tree coconuts. With a machete he chopped and then drained the coconut water and also treated us to freshly
chopped sugarcane. We chewed and sucked the stalks to our hearts content. Pure natural
sugar tastes so good. It was incredible! </div>

Fast forward to Friday night; the Reggae Marathons infamous
Pasta Party! I heard rave reviews! All I’m going to say is "Chaos" their was no
structure at all! People going in and out of line; and I use the word line
loosely. People reaching plates over and between people, people pushing in and
out. Crazy! Glad I experienced it but, if I come back, I will eat else where
the night before the race. A little
order would make it a great experience, because the food was pretty good; the little bit I had to fight to get! The possibly great culinary experience was lessened because of the
chaos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday morning race day. The race start time was 5:15 am so
we had to be up extra early because the road through
Negril was going to be closed to all traffic from 4 am until noon. Thanks to Bam
we were made it to the start line just before <st1:time hour="4" minute="0" w:st="on">4:00 am. We</st1:time> didn’t have to worry about catching one of the many shuttles that were
leaving from hotels. The events of the morning consisted of a 10K, ½ marathon,
and marathon. The early start was because the Jamaican sun as I found out later
in the morning is no joke!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The race started right on time, in total darkness, the only
light which was very cool; were young children lining each side of the road for about
100 yard with torches. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
OK to my walker friends out there! And I know I speak for
the runners/joggers out there,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Line up in the back! There is nothing more frustrating and
dangerous than at the beginning of a running race when you are shoulder to
shoulder and then you have to weave in and out of bodies because a group of
walkers are slowly moving amongst the fury of the start. A little race
etiquette would be appreciated!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The course was a flat double loop of 13.1 miles, my goal
was to go under 5 hours; by mile 3 I quickly realized why the race start was at <st1:time hour="5" minute="15" w:st="on">5:15 am</st1:time>. I was soaked from
perspiration due to early morning humidity and heat within the first two miles. Tanya and I planned to run
the first half together and then let pace naturally do the rest. My breathing
was hindered early so by mile 4 I had let her go. The race volunteers and the
water stops were great, nice and cold water bags and electrolyte drink at each. The
music was awesome and later in the race it is what kept me chugging along. The
rhythmic tunes of Bob Marley floated through the air; situated every couple of
miles Jamming from local motorist cars and DJ set ups. I finished loop one in <st1:time hour="14" minute="14" w:st="on">2:14:00</st1:time> right where I wanted to be
to run a sub 5 so I thought. I
quickly saw the majority of the people did not come to run the marathon, from
the ½ way point it was just you the road plus the few souls who came to
challenge the <st1:country-region w:st="on">Jamaica</st1:country-region>
heat and sun! By this time the sun was
in full blaze and my walk breaks began to increase, not because I was tired or
weak I felt strong; but every time I tried to increase my pace; It felt like to
Sun was saying "Oh no you don’t" A few times the sun felt almost unbearable; and
I wasn’t the only one looking for any type of shade. Myself and
the few other’s darted for the trees lining the road when we could. I trudged on
I didn’t think the second loop would ever end! If it wasn’t for Robert Nesta
Marley jamming and his sounds floating through the air keeping me moving to the
beat and singing my heart out I may not have made it. I finally crossed the
finish line around <st1:time hour="10" minute="45" w:st="on">10:45 am</st1:time>
in the time of 5:33 and some change. I believe my slowest marathon on record! To
my dismay I wasn’t that upset with my slow finishing time! I was upset that
they had run out of Red Stripe! and the post race party which was
advertised to last until <st1:time hour="12" minute="0" w:st="on">noon</st1:time>
was being pack up! What the Hell! The ice cold beer I had been dreaming about
for the last 6 miles was a No! And the band was packing up the stage! What a
fraud finish line party, I mean it is called the “Reggae Marathon”, every
participant especially the marathoners should be given a little more respect! Tanya
finished in <st1:time hour="16" minute="55" w:st="on">4:55:00</st1:time> and
there was no beer or music playing then either! The people who suffered
the most, and believe me the marathoners were suffering in the heat; got the
least amount of love at the finish. Step up your game “Reggae Marathon”!<br />

The ocean water was a nice refresher from the last 5+ hours.
We swam and relaxed for a while and cheered in a few more runners; then it was
off to the house and the rest of our vacation!<br />
Would I run the Reggae Marathon
again? Maybe but more likely the half! But I will be back to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Jamaica</st1:country-region> definitely! Soon Come Mon!</div>

Two Mondays ago Tanya and I ran the Appleby Bermuda Half Marathon. I have stated before this is our favorite race to run; but this year was very special. It was special because after 37 years the race started in St. George's and not Somerset. St. Georges is Tanya's hometown. There was an awesome buzz and excitement in the air because of this special occasion. There was a new record set on entrants to the race, and the East end'ers came out in the thousands to line course and cheer the runners. The weather was perfect, partly </div>

cloudy skies, mild temps, medium humidity, and a steady breeze from the east. The race began in historic St. George's and headed west to finish in Hamilton. Running from this direction was challenging because of the many hills along the course. The course from Somerset includes the infamous "Burnt House Hill" which is a butt kicker, but this course had many, many hills one right after the other. I think this will spark the interest of many more Bermudians to run in the upcoming years; alternating the course each year will create goals to run PR's from each direction. Having Family and Friends all along the course, calling our names and encouraging us to go go go is so special; and what makes this race so special to us.Tanya and I had a great time competing with our fellow runners; and look forward to many,many more years of running this race.Dr. Marc and Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09221240768166096176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469850266215033177.post-27236972484589865972014-06-18T09:52:00.002-07:002014-06-18T09:58:54.817-07:00Pictures from our hike on the Kalalau trail: Kauai ,Hawaii <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Either way a ice cold six pack of beer will be even more refreshing at the end! While searching the web for some new trails to explore Tanya came across a website that listed a the SolCal six Pack as a great way to train for the infamous Mt. Whitney hike. <a href="http://www.everytrail.com/guide/socal-six-pack-of-peaks">Socal-six-pack-of-peaks</a> the list below are the six peaks and the recommended order of which to do them. </span></span><br />

Whitney; and if you know my wife; we threw that order out of the window. San Gorgonio was going to be our first mountain to hike this summer. We met two friends Alex and Ray at the Vivian Creek Trail head and began our journey at 6:00 am on May 17, 2014.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.136001586914063px;">The Vivian Creek Trail is described as the shortest and the steepest route to the summit of Mt. San Gorgonio; the round trip distance is estimated at 18 miles give or take.

We made it to the top and found as you can see there was still snow to have fun in. The round trip took us just under nine hours; a full exhausting day of hiking! One Peak down five more to go!.......</div>

A week later we tackled another peak in the SixPack San Jacinto . The trail we chose was the Marion Mountain Trail. Though the distance was shorter to the summit in comparison to the Vivian Creek trail on San Gorgonio the week before. The challenge was much greater, it was a butt burner!!</div>

Tanya and I had the pleasure of coaching Ray Allard to run and finish his first marathon on May 4,2014; "The OC Marathon. Ray wrote a race report to tell us all about his experience.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The race (event) started anxiously for me. I knew I would start what I finished, however it was a race against the clock to reach the half way point in time. The only confidence I had was the training I did and the fact that my trainers had faith in me and said I could make it. I stuck to the plan for the first mile and tried to walk and run. I actually felt ok until the 3 mile mark, then the heaviness of the fact that I may be out here all day set in. I hydrated my ass off and ate at the prescribed times. It was grueling. When the 1/2 marathoners started catching up, it was not so lonely. At the 1/2 way point I was spent physically and mentally. I felt my new socks slipping and I knew I had a blister. It took every ounce of will power to run the second half and not go into the fairgrounds for a 1/2 marathon. I was not about to come this far and not finish especially since I never wanted to run this @#!%$! Far again as long as I live. I also knew my friends were ahead somewhere. Then I saw Marc and Tanya for the first of many times. All the runners around me kept saying "who are those people". As the miles piled up, exhaustion set in deeper. I think 16 to 18 were the toughest. I Couldn't even alter my course to dodge a cone and ran it over. Once I dropped my bottle cap and could barely pick it up almost cramping completely up. The weather held up, and the encouragement kept me going, Miles 22 to 24 were terrible. I kept losing count of which mile I was on. When I saw mile 23 and fully expected to see 24, I almost died. Then I said to myself that nothing matters. When I get there, I get there. Once you hit the fairgrounds, they make you do a loop of about 3/4 miles. A complete disaster. I mustered the strength to run across the finish line, arms up like Tanya always said to. Jeanette was there and only a few people finished behind me, however there were several DNF's I felt great that I just finished. I felt so much better afterwards that the 1/2 I did there a few years earlier. Walking to the car was tough. I rested for a few hours then went to Reynolds wedding. I was out on the dance floor. My kids (and everyone else) were shocked and impressed.</b></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #666666;"><b>My takeaways were that I was stronger than I thought, I was able to jog some every mile to the very end. I recovered a lot faster than I thought possible for me. I can't believe I actually thought about my next Marathon the same day I finished. Must have been delirious, because those thought are long gone. Thanks so much to You both for getting me ready and having the confidence in me to let me try.</b></span></i></div>

Ray welcome to the Marathon Club! Your favorite quote from "Rocky" "Ain't Gonna Be No Rematch"; I'm not to sure about that, sounds like you are already thinking about the next one. Congratulations Ray, Tanya and I had no doubts, we knew you would finish. </div>
