EISPIRATEN

thats the saddest, grossest "river" ive ever seen. really sad. i cannot comprehend why you all think its cool. its super sad and horrible, its like a river thats been raped and beaten to death by concrete :( everyone who did that to the river should be burned alive. its a crime against nat...

No. this post was from June last year. This trail is now covered in feet of snow. I go snowshoeing up there now cause its winter. there are no flowers at 8000ft in january out here. And the lake is frozen. AND, that creek my feet were in is frozen too! No way am i puttin my feet in there right now!

ya, spam-ass....thats like a dumb-ass, but not real

20 miles, 11,000ft ele change. Started at the base of El Cap, here in the valley, ran 0.3mi west to start of Old Big Oak Flat road (not on Topo, but theres some descriptions on tha interwebs if u google it) Its a closed road covered in big rockslides, so the first 3 miles is run/ walk/ routefind/cro...

taco-Ya. nanospikes. made from tiny buckthorn spikes. Rico-ya, i never tire of seeing everything out here either. Views are different from everytrail, and even the same trails are always still cool, cause the lighting changes with the seasons n makes things look different, i love it up here and go t...

heres some Yosemite pics if u want em :) and a link to my latest run on Foresta trail to mirror lake (no pics, i didnt take the camera, just a handfull of cashews and a 20 oz waterbottle, i refill at creeks, or with snow if no creeks in the area) I used to only run 5-6 miles a day after work, and on...

Ya. i do 12 miles a day 4 days a week after work. then 1 day off, then a long run in the mtns. then a easy 6 the next day to stretch my legs. Im doin about 30 min of kettelbell workout every mornin too, it helps my core strength n keeps my arms in shape for when i go climbing occasionally :) im pret...

Running the Grand Canyon in early May 2014, again. im going with my friend who lives there. and possibly Longcut if his family n work let him come. Anyone else is welcome. Itll most likely be sometime between May 5th and 10th. We will be running it. last time took 15 hours cause a snowstorm hit us. ...

Since I not only work, but also live in a national park, this hasnt affected me badly at all, I simply have even MORE time to run than usual. All of us DNC employees still can stay at our homes inside the park, and come an go as we please, AND theres no crowds, which is souper awesome. AND in just t...

No more Yosemite pictures, my camera broke

no lobsters foo! pfft. goofy :) @outwhere, ya, its pretty neat out there, its nice to get out of all the granite walls, they look great but can get a little claustrophobic when you live here, i like when i can see far and be in more open land. im going to this area again tomorrow, and a little furth...

Last Friday I went out to SE of Glacier Point cause ide heard people had seen a mountain lion out there, so i thought ide run out n look around cause i hadnt seen one here yet. Its a real pretty area, different than NE from here which is where i normally run ( "Here" being Yosemite for tho...

Went to Vogelsang high camp thursday. Started at home at 438am (Yosemite valley next to the Ahwahnee hotel) and took the Mist trail up to top of Nevada falls,, then past little yo' valley, to Merced lake, to Lewis creek trail, up over Vogelsang pass (got to top at noon) and down to Fletcher creek tr...

@ Sean, not his, hers, Ima girl. Sorry. I fixed the mistake in the post. Incidentally, last year Brett Maune drove from Los Angeles to Whitney Portal, and then immediately sprinted up to Whitney via the Mountaineer's Route in 1:56:54. In his trip report he mentions that he has "a several hour ...

also at Ze, i have no clue what quantifiable effort even means or how you measure it, i never finished highschool. I just run to be happy 'n when im tired i run slower, when i feel good i go faster, and when it gets dark, i head home. and I dont have a heart beat measuring thing. I know from dr apps...

@ Sean, not his, hers, Ima girl. and you are right, when i lived at the Grand Canyon, i was living at 7000ft elevation for 14 months and all my runs took me down in ele. and here in yosemite, ive lived at 4000ft elevation , for the last 13 months,. my runs, so far, have only taken me to 10 n 11000ft...

Aside from the points already mentioned, I would say being in great conditioning can actually hurt. You can withstand going anaerobic for longer (happens more quickly at altitude) so you can withstand keeping a high vertical ascent rate. The fast ascent in altitude, combined with the high stress / ...

had yesterday off work so i went up to run around in the high country. walked from the valley here, up to little Yosemite valley, then up to sunrise camp meadow, then ran over to sunrise lakes, then over to clouds rest n up to the top of that, then ran back down to the lil yo' valley again and back ...

What causes this? Ive never had it. Ryan says cause i live higher. But, even when I lived in Palm Springs, and went up to over 10,000ft, i never got it. I dont even get tired up high, unless im going uphill at that moment. Is there a reason some get it and some never do? Or is it cause I run, so im ...

Yus! Melvin!

thanx to everyone whos helping! we have enough now for the deposit to reserve a spot in the classes. (the deposit is 50%) down. ill be in town ina week or so' n me 'n ryan will start figuring out stuff then. we'll update where we're at after that.

most awesome trip report ever!

Oh good! im glad its a pretty area, i sorta figured it would be, but good to know. And cooler weather in Sept will be nice too.

Gonna run my first race in September. I chose this one because its 100% trail/dirt. (I hate runnin on pavement, even for one mile, makes me feel like im ruining my legs and back, awful, i did it once, will never do it again!)....Anyways, I also picked this cause its got ele change. I though flat gro...

was going to go up to snow creek today from the valley, I did, then kept going a few more miles and went to Tenaya Lake too. was 21 miles round trip and back to my dorm. heres pics. and 2 GARMIN links ar at the end for sat pic n route n all that stuff morning like 530am, on the snow creek trail http...

too many people was the number one reason i began trail-running, back when i lived in Palm Springs when ide hike out in the desert, ide pass slower people but could still hear and see them, so ide run a bit until things were quiet again and i was alone,,,,,another group to pass, ide run again. Serio...
