Tantek ()'s status on Tuesday, 28-Apr-2020 02:53:00 EDT Tantek ☁️🌊 March 25th, SF distancing day nine. Spent nearly the whole day inside, drove to the beach (when we were still allowed to) as the sun set. Made it just as the sun sank into the horizon, just an orange dot filtered by the clouds(2). Ocean Beach was nearly empty.
As I approached the shore, I saw numerous small dark shapes in motion where the waves lapped the sand. When I got closer I realized they were birds, hundreds of them(3). I’ve never seen so many birds flocking together at the beach. Something in the waves made them briefly take flight(4).
The wind had really picked up. Orange glow on the horizon where the sun had been, the wind strong enough to blow ripples in the millimeters deep water on the sand(5). Walking back, the wind paused for a moment, long enough for the wet sand to sit still and reflect the sky(1).

Tantek ()'s status on Friday, 17-Jan-2020 23:33:00 EST Tantek 🌦🌊 Dramatic clouds last night at Ocean Beach. No sign of the setting sun, except a distant orange glow under the clouds above the ocean, lighting up strands of rain returning to the sea(2). Dark clouds hung over the beach, cracks in the distance letting in the light(3).
Just six minutes later the dark clouds had passed overhead, rain clouds to either side, revealing a twilight sky and dramatic clouds, a few with orange tinges from the distant sunset(4). Minutes afterwards the sky was even brighter(5).
As the sky cleared overhead, I happened to be standing in between rain clouds coming to shore(1).
Right place, right time. A moment of beautiful sky between rain clouds, before darkness.

Tantek ()'s status on Monday, 13-Jan-2020 15:11:00 EST Tantek Sunday 1 year ago: 15km (https://tantek.com/t4yV2), #Sunday yesterday: 16mi & 4500' the day after 12mi & 2400' (https://tantek.com/t54Z2). @BryanTing and I hiked/ran a double Dipsea, starting at Old Mill Park in Mill Valley up the legendary #DipseaSteps, onto the #Dipsea #trail through Muir Woods (with a brief detour to Deer Park Fire Road) up to Cardiac Hill(1), down to Stinson Beach(2, and 3 📷 #selfie by Bryan).
We took a quick break to eat at the Parkside Snack Bar, and then started our hike/run back. At one of the viewing spots just before Cardiac the clouds were looking particularly beautifully chaotic(4). Returning to Cardiac Hill, the sky was fully overcast, and rain clouds were visible over the ocean, some already dumping onto the water(5).
By the time we had climbed down and back out of Muir Woods and up to Panoramic Highway, the sky had cleared for us again, the sun warming us and lighting our way(6). We descended back down into Mill Valley, ran down the Dipsea steps to Old Mill Park, and finished where we started. 16 miles, not bad for a day two run.

Tantek ()'s status on Saturday, 14-Dec-2019 20:33:00 EST Tantek 🌄🏃🏻♂️ 3 months from today (2020-03-14) I am #runningthe #MUC50, my first 50 mile #trailrun, the hardest thing I’ve ever attempted. Today I returned to #SFRC, first time since back-to-back #ECSCAraces a month ago. Ran to the #beach(3,4,5) & back, with a little detour to Haypress camp(6), with pal@VivekGowriand it felt great.
Beautiful weather, birds flocked overhead and gathered all on one wire among several(2), and the ground was squishy from the recent rains, leaving a few reflective pools on the #trails(1). Today felt good & necessary for many reasons, physical, mental, emotional. Grateful for running with friends and the ideal running conditions.
With today’s long-ish #run, I’m starting to focus on my #50miletrainingfor the Marin Ultra Challenge (http://insidetrail.com/calendar/marin-ultra-challenge/). Well outside my comfort zone, after I finished a 50k + half marathon (~46 miles in 2 days) without injury, and only sore feet to show for it, I feel 50 miles is within reach with dedicated training. The biggest challenge will be finishing it in under 14 hours.
#Runnerfriends, this is your heads-up. Starting at about mile 30, I’m allowed pacers for the MUC 50. If you’d like to help me finish 50 miles by running with me for the last 20 miles please let me know. It’ll likely be a slow 20 miles, and some of it in the dark with headlamps. Think of it as an early evening fast-hike, with an opportunity to catch-up and talk about all the things you do when pushing your limits.

Tantek ()'s status on Monday, 06-Aug-2018 00:48:00 EDT Tantek Saturday’s #longrun: 16.5 miles & 2300'+ started with ~12 miles from home to the Tennessee Valley Trailhead, joined friends for a bit more, nearly 14 to the #beach. Climbed up for a view, ran back to the parking lot.
