2010 comes in with a Run

2010-01-10T11:17:00.000-08:00

Welcome to 2010 and Happy New Year everyone. January started early for us with Calico Racing's Run from an Angel. This annual event starts Calico's Racing season of with a gorgeous run in the high desert of Boulder City and Lake Mead, NRA. Further north, NW Running League started their year off with a Resolution Run. So for all those promising someone that 2010 is the year I start running, here was your chance.

12Ks. It's a go!

2009-12-20T20:36:00.001-08:00

After getting snowed out last year, this year's run was a great success.

Thanksgiving Day

2009-11-26T12:46:00.000-08:00

"Sherwood’s annual Give n’ Gobble 5K run/walk and 10K run on Thanksgiving at 9am @ the Sherwood High School stadium. The purpose of this event, besides being a great way to rev up your metabolism, is to raise money for Helping Hands, a local food bank affiliated with the Oregon Food Bank. This hugely successful annual event has raised thousands of dollars and over 10,000 lbs. of food and for Helping Hands, a local food bank. This single event funds Helping Hands' annual expenses, enabling them to provide hundreds of needy families with not only canned food and other nonperishable items, but also dairy products, and fresh fruits and vegetables. This heart-warming event has become a Thanksgiving holiday tradition, drawing runners and walkers of all ages who want to start the day doing something fun & healthy with their family & neighbors while also helping those less fortunate! Last year we had more than 1000 runners & walkers on Thanksgiving morning and are looking forward to another amazing year."

The "Money Shot" comes at your turn around with an expansive view of Hoover Dam. Almost 300 athletes took part in this inaugural event held in the Lake Mead NRA, right outside of Las Vegas. Another fine event put on by the cats at Calico Racing.

Last week I completed an ad assignment for our clients over at PBS Design. PBS Design specializes in Interior design and event planning (see the connection?). If you are having trouble designing anything; your yard, your living room, even if you are trying to redesign an entire floor plan, Phil and the crew can not only complete the project soup to nuts, they do a great job. In full disclosure, I’m not only a vendor, I am a client.

The Red Rock Canyon Marathon was held again this past weekend. This is truly one of the more beautiful places in Las Vegas. This Half and Full Marathon put on by Calico Racing (as highlighted in the March issue of Runners World) , is a majestic trot through the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The entire run you are looking at rock and rock and rock and rock. But highlighted with the morning early sun in the high desert, it really makes the colors pop. Can you tell I love the light on this course? Pictures are here.

2009-02-21T14:06:00.000-08:00

This morning was the San Francisco Chinese YMCA New Year Run. Ending the 15 day celebration ( well, the weekend after the 15th day but close enough). This 5/10k grew from last year but was a bit more humid. The rain was incredible. One of the worst days I’ve worked. I’m not to crazy about shooting in the rain but if the runners are running, we’ll be there. Congratulations to the over 1,500 runners who signed up. Look at the great pictures of these wet, wet runners on the events page.

This months issue ( March 2009) of Runner’s World has highlights Calico Racing’s Red Rock Canyon Half and Full Marathon. As I have talked about before, Joyce F’s Calico Racing puts on fantastic 5Ks to 50M’s around Sin City. Yet another reason to go visit Las Vegas. And when you go for one of Calico Racing’s Runs, you are guaranteed to not lose your shirt. In fact, you get one!

Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-08T18:29:00.000-08:00

Today was the Annual Valentine Run for Fanconi Anemia research. Peg Padden, the Race Director of the fast out and back 5K has been doing a fantastic job over the past 5 years. Word on the street has it that every year, it gets better and better even if it's February in Portland. This year, over 550 runner participated, up from last year. And way up from 5 years ago. So she is doing something right. For a look at more races, click here.

Running from an (Snow?) Angel

2008-12-25T07:11:00.000-08:00

I am heading out for a most deserved vacation before going over to Las Vegas for the start of the running season in Las Vegas. Starting our 2nd year with Calico Racing and the Running from an Angel 5, 10, Half, Full and 50 miler on January 3. This is the kick off event for Joyce and CR. With snow (!!) in Las Vegas last week, it will be a great start to the new year. Of course, all remnants of the white powder are expected to be gone by then so you will be stuck with clear blue skies and wonderful vistas instead.

The course is in Lake Mead N.R.A. which I still think is an eerily, beautiful place. It is so different from season to season.

Like I said last year, it’s (still) a great place to run.

Hey everybody. I know I have been lax in getting my postings up to date but I wanted to tell you my team will be at the 12K’s of Christmas in Kirkland, WA this weekend. I am posting this right now because of the weather conditions for tomorrow. Oh Boy!

Running with the Harvest

2008-10-26T23:42:00.000-07:00

with apologies to Papa.

This weekend I was back in California to help out my team in the first Wine Country Marathon in Healdsburg. This is not to be confused with the Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon, which was held the day before. The Wine Country Marathon in Healdsburg is in its first year. The event also brought in hundreds of old, worn out running shoes. The old shoes were donated to organizations like Redwood Mission who helps provide food, clothing and shelter for the homeless. The really old shoes were sent to NikeReuse program. Nike takes worn out athletic shoes of any brand, then processes them into materials used in sport surfaces like tennis courts, running tracks, athletic fields and playgrounds. Events with Sole is run by Brad Illing. He has raced in over 100 triathlons including 5 Ironmans. He also completed dozens of marathons, mountain bike races, adventure races and off-road events.

Everybody still runs...in October

2008-10-12T23:29:00.000-07:00

October always seems to be the busiest time of the year. It might be that the running season is coming to a close on the PNW and here are a many last minutes races. October 12th was just as busy as the 5th. with the Great Columbia Crossing, the Harvest Century, the Gresham Jazz Run and the City to the Sea in SLO, CA. Well, City to the Sea is in California but I’ll chalk it up to the season. Photos from all these event are on my events page. You bet I know this is the same post as last week, I’ve been busy!

October always seems to be the busiest time of the year. It might be that the running season is coming to a close son the PNW and here are a many last minutes races. October 5th was busy with the Portland Marathon, the Salmon Run and the Rock the Rock. Well, Rock the Rock is in Las Vegas but I’ll chalk it up to the season. The Portland Marathon is photographed by the good people at Racephotos.net and they once again have asked us to help them out. It always good to help out our fellow photographers in Portland. The Portland Marathon photos can be seen here. Our photos for Rock the Rock and the Salmon Day run can be seen by here.

The company was hired for an East Coast run this past weekend, The 30th Annual Dutchess Classic County in Wappingers Falls. The Pearl anniversary of this run added a new 5K route and drew over 1,000 athletes. Thank you to Keith and the crew for having us out there.

Back in Portland to photograph the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this weekend. Over 42,000 runners and walkers participating in the largest Komen Run this side of the Mississippi. My team and I will be out on the course all morning so be sure to wave as you come past us. See you this weekend.

The Second First

Today was the 2nd Annual Portland Tri. Jeff Henderson put on yet another fine event. This time, the rains held off until the end and attendance was higher then last year. What’s better then that? Congratulations to all the finishers who swam, road and ran through the rivers and streets of Portland. More photos here.

E.T Run Home

Tonight my team was in Rachel, Nevada photographing Calico Racing’s ET Full Moon Run. The Midnight start right outside infamous Area 51 ended at 7:30 with the last of the marathoners crossing the finish line. Then, it was off to the Little A'Le'Inn for some celebratory breakfast. No word if an extra terrestrials where seen or how the did in the 10K

Hula Hula

The second annual Hulaman Tri was today and sure enough, my team was out there in full force. A great (much cooler) day for the athletes. Last year’s rainy cold start gave way to a comfortable dry morning for a quick dip in Hagg Lake then a ride and run into Hillsboro. Congratulations to Aleck Alleckson for coming in over 8 minutes faster then last year’s winner.

Mike and Katie

2008-08-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

I was in wine country today for the nuptials of Mike and Katie. The one thing I like about blogging is that it is also a historical journal to reflect upon in years to come. So when you are reading this in the not to distant future, let it be known that Mike and Katie where married on THE HOTTEST DAY EVERY. Wow! It is safe to say that Mike and Katie are hot, hot, hot. A comfortable 104 degree day for this outdoor wedding. I remember meeting them and their biggest worry was that it would rain (this is Oregon). Nobody even thought about everyone melting. Rest assured, we all kept our cool and everything went off without a hitch. The bright sun gave way to a wonderful sunset and everyone finally cutting loose with the music pumping well into the wee hours. Congratulations you two. You are the first ones I am calling if I ever get in trouble with the law.
