It starts every year, except this one, at Gold River and runs for 40 miles of logging road to Tahsis.

Brad and I have won it or placed in the top 5 on a number of occasions Ean has won it and run back home. This year the race was canceled, but my friend Cliff was going to run it anyway. It's some kind of a awareness campaign about wild salmon. Anyway, I said I would join him...

This year at least two serious runners will be doing it. Most years we, as runners, are in a huge minority. This year, unfortunately 600 hikers will not be with us.

 It's been a while since I wrote as I've been busy putting together lots of great information for you. I'll be sharing all my hard work with you over the coming weeks so keep an eye on your inbox.

While on a recent baggage expedition, it occurred to me that baggers and baguettes have a language unto themselves.  For the benefit of those who are new to the Bagger Challenge and baggery, in general, I thought it would be a good idea to define some of the key terms and expressions.

Come on down to Bellingham for a chance to get muddy and tone those calves! Options for getting here easily include carpooling with Reagan from Vancouver Saturday morning or walking on the ferry to Anacortes Friday afternoon with Katie and staying at my house (I will pick you up at the Rockfish grill in Anacortes). Hope to see you all here! Genissa

Berryman Trail 50m is a race that has intimidated me a bit since I learned about it. For one, it’s FIFTY miles – that’s intimidating enough! Secondly, it’s shares a portion of the Ozark Trail 100 course, so I’m pretty familiar with the terrain. It’s all technical single track and usually several creek crossings with major mud.

A glorious sunny weekend in Vancouver.  Seymour looked to still have snow, so we rolled out to Lynn Peak instead.  A nice steady grind, finishing with some awesome views of Vancouver. 

I think I shall use my blog to collect and share my recipes. I'll likely have better luck finding them in future than trying to sort through my recipe box. These are some protein bars that I've been enjoying. They are no-bake and chewy, but you'll want to wrap them in layers so you don't end up with one big blob.

Original recipe came from recipezaar ("Low-Fat Fitness Energy Bars" Recipe #3710) but i have modified the recipe to my preferences (and I refuse to buy protein powder).
