True story.. I travel to San Jose every other week and have yet to get up to san fran. I'm a traveling consultant failure. :(

BUT - I am getting up there in two weeks!!

So, that is crazy about that please rob me website. Crazy

Glad you were able to get a run in at SF!

Makes me nervous when people post their trips on FB. "Anyone know a good boarding place for pets?" then "Leaving for New Hampshire for 7 days!" etc.

Awesome Ace - SF is a beautiful city, if not the nicest huge city I have ever been to. The scenery along the coast is staggering - makes me want to take a road trip...

You didn't mention the food??? If they don't have what you're looking for, you are in trouble!

2010-03-07T17:50:06.894-07:00

I just love San Francisco and I've run there a couple of times and had so much fun! The marathon was hard for me but I do love running down by the wharf!
SO happy you're feeling perky again(Do guys feel perky? Maybe I should say "STRONG!"). Enjoy your trip.

Thanks for posting today, Ace. I was wondering wh...

Thanks for posting today, Ace. I was wondering where you were and what was going on. That just means that I appreciate your thoughts and news despite what you think it means and or conveys. Thanks for "just doing it" and keep us posted on the latest in your running and life. No pressure but snap out of it! I like your attitude; don't worry about perfection.
Sorry, I may be a K teacher but I'm also kind of a hard *$%! Besides, it looks like you have enough *love* in the comments above!

2010-03-05T15:44:05.150-07:00

Yeah, I agree with Your Hunger....except for the love part. I mean, you're a cool guy and all, but not totally my type.

Anyway, a runners world or something similar usually snaps me right out of the blahs. You should find a store that sells Marathon and Beyond magazine. Good stuff.

I don't know you well enough to tell you I love yo...

2010-03-04T19:55:34.694-07:00

I don't know you well enough to tell you I love you ... so I feel left out or maybe more like a misfit on the comments page. Well, not really, but I was glad to see you had not disappeared. Hope you chase the "blahs" away - it is that time of year. Did you notice a little Spring in the air this week???

I have an idea. A GREAT idea. First, read Born t...

2010-03-04T18:24:44.634-07:00

I have an idea. A GREAT idea. First, read Born to Run, then review it! It will give you motivation and content for at least a 100+ blogs. Srsly. Oh. And I love you.

When I saw that there was a new post, I was going ...

2010-03-04T12:13:09.610-07:00

When I saw that there was a new post, I was going to comment with, "THANK YOU!" My secondary comment, after actually reading your post is more. . . well. . . just that I love you. (Especially when you aren't perfect.)

2010-02-20T22:13:32.041-07:00

I want a Ninja mask too, your sista' is very cool. Do you think I would turn heads running in a mask in the Cali sunshine? Ha,ha. Now I really want one.
Run, run, run Ace. That's too many miles...

HAHAHA. Man, your sister DID look like a ninja in...

2010-02-18T19:33:19.992-07:00

HAHAHA. Man, your sister DID look like a ninja in that picture!

Man, I'm a micro kind of a guy, there is no way that I could track the miles left in a plan, it would drive me bonkers!

Seriously, have you read born to run yet? You hav...

2010-02-18T11:33:39.172-07:00

Seriously, have you read born to run yet? You have to read born to run. It has insider details about Leadville AND running. Two things you need to know about, me thinks.

My word verification word is schpusem. Weird.

Woohoo! You're a CELEBRITY!! Is that your sister ...

2010-02-16T18:06:28.414-07:00

Woohoo! You're a CELEBRITY!!

Is that your sister telling you to read Born to Run NOW?

I'd listen to her.

Nice Job Ace!

2010-02-15T21:15:33.263-07:00

Nice Job Ace!

2010-02-15T20:31:55.224-07:00

Nice! Those you didn't beat, you would certainly scare the bajezus out of!

2010-02-15T19:03:49.288-07:00

How's it feel to be the PPRR poster man??? Maybe you'll make the front cover of the Long Run - that would be the MEGA JACKPOT! It was great fun meeting you and I was not about to leave without seeing you finish. BTW - I have a photo of you coming into the finish. If you want it, shoot me an email - happytrails88@q.com.
Also - I got signed up for Greenland 25K, so if you ever want to recon out there, let me know!

So, I forgive you for not calling me back because ...

2010-02-15T15:33:48.714-07:00

So, I forgive you for not calling me back because you were running way farther than me! And your phone seems to be finicky. I do have great news though. I won my race! I totally beat all the people behind me just like I planned, and in the snow at that! Unfortunately my time was still double that of the fastest person. Oh well. I did see someone in Vibrams though and I got totally excited EVEN while he whizzed by me. So , yeah. You HAVE TO READ BORN TO RUN. Right now. Do it. No. Stop it. Read now.

You rock your picture!! Now THAT'S a goal! Aweso...

2010-02-15T15:20:23.524-07:00

You rock your picture!! Now THAT'S a goal! Awesome run, sounds like you had a fun time meeting Sr. Happy Trails. I can always tell you love what you're doing out there...thanks for inspiring us all!

They got some awesome shots of you flexing the guns - can't wait for your report!

Ace-

Forgot to get your permission to post our mugs on the blog - let me know if you are OK with having your identity revealed!! :)

Nice meeting you too!

2010-02-10T23:09:16.763-07:00

Ugg, I HATE this argument. I've completed 6 marathons and have only "ran" two of them - and one of those doesn't count because of a pee break (which ironically was Fargo).

Annoying.

2010-02-10T08:16:16.447-07:00

Yeah.. about those 40 lbs I put on since high school, and this ultra sugar latte I'm drinking right now, and the uber healthy rolled oat breakfast I didn't have this morning because I fell asleep last night without brushing my teeth after an argument with my husband. PAST baby, all in the past. Well... minus the 2nd half of the coffee. *chug* *chug* PAST baby, all in the past. Confidence that I will finish the marathon in under 5... .02% I am SO totally good to go! Yay Sir Edmund!
