It was a frosty morning and I had more energy left at the end then many other recent races--it actually felt more like a workout--though I couldn't utilize any of it the last 200 meters as I was more or less ice skating across the finish. Here's a pictureThe winner was 24:39, I was fourth at 26:10.

This weekend will be a big one for GRC runners as four will be competing at the legendary Willamette invitational. This is a premier inivite and boasts one of the fastest courses of the season. The names of the GRC runners in the Wil. Invite will be: Joshua Kratzer, Brian Rockenboch, Sam Scothmer, and Kevin Blount. Make sure to look for them in the results page. Also Jerry Ziak and I will be

To my surprise I've received a number of emails and facebook messages with one simple question. It is: "How can I get involved." I love it. The whole idea of GRC was to build up enough critical mass to rival some more well-endowed running clubs. If you're interested then I might ask you to email me your mail info so that we can put you on our newsletters mailing list. Just give me an email.

I'll begin by saying thank you to Brian for founding this project. Our friendship over the past year has been about just this: "Grass Roots": just getting out the door, training hard, having some good laughs and conversation, and becoming stronger mentally and physically than ever before. The idea of "Grass Roots" is not a clearly defined one and I don't think it should be. It will change in

So, the Jerseys are in. See below (first post) for a rough idea of what graphic wise will be on them. We also have T-Shirts and they look pretty sweet in a standard white and forest green. While the jerseys are more expensive ($28) the t-shirts are a steal at ($14). Help represent a club that stands against the overly-dominating mammoth sized running clubs.

Yesterday I was cruising through the endowment lands in the right coined "beautiful" British Columbia when I began to feel light to moderate tremors rumbling through the fault lines in my gut. That's right the epicenter was about to be my butt. Before I could make any plans like a drunk in a confessional, it all came out--right into the running shorts. Fortunately me my father was an Eagle scout

We are a new running team in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, B.C.), just setting down roots (haven't even had a debut race yet). Here's a preliminary graphic for the jerseys and tees that'll be coming out soon. Look for the logo as it passes you on the 11th mile of a half marathon, or the 17th lap of a 10k. If you are interested in joining contact me, or make a comment at the end of this post
