title: : Ran my 14th Bay to Breakers race in 1:57:12 this past Sunday.Almost 2min behind last year, from needing a 5min+ pitstop at the Panhandle.I skipped public transport (see previous years), and left at 7am to jog to the start. After ~3.5 miles I found my way to corral A and serendipitously my pal Henri, dressed in the purple grape costume he’s known for.Beautiful day for a run, cool and sunny blue skies from the start. The South of Market (SoMa) area seemed cleaner than usual which was a nice change.High-fived the Midnight Runners Raccoon Riot cheergang on Hayes street. Hayes hill was a jog / power hike slog like recent years with a pleasant downhill after. Except by the time I got to Fell street I felt uncomfortable enough to run out to the portapotties and took a while to deal with the discomfort. The prior evening’s dinner out at Thee Parkside was perhaps too much of a change for my system. Novel eats the night before a race a minor rookie mistake.The parties on Fell Street seemed particularly loud and crowded this year.Golden Gate Park was beautiful as usual, and I spotted a few November Project San Francisco (NPSF) folks near Blue Heron Lake (formerly known as Stow Lake). We gathered a few more and took photos in front of the Naga Sea Serpent sculpture.The rest of the race felt like a comfortable downhill til we passed the bison paddock. Normally where the race turns left at the end it turned right to a new southbound finish on Great Highway. Picked up the pace there to finish in 1:57:13 by my watch, only one second off the recorded chip time.This past week was a step up in running volume over the past few months, ironically a bit of a reverse taper. Including the warmup and race, I ran 29 miles total (Monday through Sunday). That was a big jump from the previous week so I hiked back through Golden Gate park rather than jogging it out.Last year: https://tantek.com/2025/138/t1/ran-bay-to-breakers#SanFrancisco #run #runner #race #roadRace #B2B #Bay2Breakers #BayToB…

title: : Ran my 12th #BayToBreakers race in 1:59:54 on Sunday 2024-05-19. After a comedy of transit struggles to get to the start line, I jumped in with Corral C runners (my bib was for Corral B) and started with them.Great seeing the Midnight Runners crab rave cheer gang in Hayes Valley before Hayes Hill.Made it into Golden Gate Park, and eventually saw Vivek and David Lam making their way back from the finish.Just before the bison paddock, I saw Paddy & Eleanor walking back as well, and stopped to briefly chat with them.Soon after I saw Adrienne and a few other #NPSF pals running and as they stopped to say hi to Paddy, I took off to go finish.Adrienne and friends caught up to me on the last segment before Ocean Beach, and decided to run together. After turning the corner onto Great Highway, I could see the finish line. Glancing down at my watch there seemed to be enough time to finish under 2 hours if we picked it up. I asked Adrienne if we could try for a sub-2 hour time and she said to go for it. We picked up the pace and after crossing the finish line I stopped my Garmin — it read 1:59:54.Oddly the official Bay to Breakers results (which are not at a linkable URL) showed 2:00:07. The only explanation I have is after the first timing strip after the finish line where I stopped my watch, there was a big crowd of loitering people that made it hard to keep moving, and cross a second timing strip. It is possible the first timing strip did not register my bib chip, and only the second timing strip picked it up. I have emailed Bay to Breakers to see if they can correct it, and included a link to my Strava activity that shows I recorded the entire race on my watch.It was a harder race than usual, despite the good weather.There were a few things that contributed. First, I had run each of the prior two days: 5km+ at Friday night’s Midnight Runners 5th anniversary run and run/walk celebration afterwards totaling ~5 miles, and then 6.5 miles at SFRC on the trails on Saturday.I sl…

title: : Seven years ago today I showed up to my first #hillsforbreakfast workout @Nov_Project_SF and ran up & down a few blocks for 25min[8]. In memory of #NPSF hills I ran to Twin Peaks today[1], 25min (or a bit less) of all uphill just to start — something that was beyond my reach back then. Starting at Oak Street I caught a sign in a window[2] I hadn’t seen before, encouraging folks to:* see black women* hear black women* trust black women* love black women* protect black women* pay black womenAfter running up Ashbury to Clayton to Twin Peaks Boulevard and climbing to the summit & both peaks, I turned around to see a clear view of Sutro Tower, Mt Tam, and the Golden Gate Bridge from the South Peak[3]. On the return run, I spotted a pair of apparent princesses in pink dresses strolling along, brightly lit by the brilliant setting sun[4], along the adjacent road blocked to motor traffic. As I climbed the North Peak, I saw them again up ahead, strolling in the middle of the road without a care in the world[5].Reaching the top of the North Peak, I noticed Market Street’s streetlamps had been lit, the sunset barely lighting up a few blocks of downtown[6]. Made it back to the Twin Peaks Summit as the sun dropped toward the Pacific Ocean, bathing everything nearby in orange light[7].Ran down the hill at an easy pace, legs & feet tired after yesterday’s longer run. Grateful for regular runs up Twin Peaks, where 25 minutes is the start, rather than the whole workout.#trail #runner #runners #trailRunner #trailRun #ultraRunner #SF #SanFrancisco #hilliversary #NovemberProjectSF #NovemberProject #TwinPeaks #50ktraining #50mileTraining #optOutside #fromWhereIRun #noFilterPreviously, previously, previously: * https://tantek.com/2020/017/t2/six-years-ago-npsf-hills* https://tantek.com/2016/017/t1/two-years-ago-first-npsf-hillsforbreakfast* https://tantek.com/2014/017/t1/first-novemberprojectsf-hillsforbreakfast

title: : 🌌🌧 It was a dark and stormy morning. The start of a long day, too long for one race report post. I got up, put on my running outfit I’d set out the night before (https://tantek.com/t55_3), snacked on a dark chocolate mocha Clif bar, and ran up to the intersection where Cori was coming to pick us up. Stephanie joined minutes later. It was only sprinkling, yet the cold was already biting, despite us wearing all the layers we brought.Cori picked us up, last two seats in her car, we huddled together for warmth and cracked jokes to lighten the mood and lift our spirits. We arrived at the Rodeo Beach parking lot just before 06:30, already brimming with activity(2 📷 Bryan). We weren’t the only #MarinUltraChallenge runners determined to run our races despite the cancellation. The rain picked up.I’ve run in the rain before, many years @Nov_Project_SF & a few other cities, and a year ago on my double Tam run. Separately I’ve run in the dark, also at #NPSF, usually early gang, and on so many Tam sunrise runs. This was the first time I’d run in the dark, in the rain, on trails. Carpooling and starting together helped, knowing we’d all be out there facing the elements, finding our way.After quick bathroom trips we found each other and @BryanTing under a green umbrella(3,4), assembled for a group photo(5 📷 Bryan), unbeknownst to us mere days before social distancing orders would forbid it. We composed ourselves in the now pouring rain, and started our run(6 📷 Bryan) crossing the Rodeo Beach gates(1 📷 Bryan), up the Coastal Trail.#run #runner #runners #RodeoBeach #darkness #morning #rain #weatherProof #nightrun #WorkHardDreamBigDoCoolShit #50miles #50miler #ultra #ultraRunner #ultraRunners #ultraRunning #ultraMarathon #InsideTrail #MUC #MUC50 #optOutside #NeverStopExploring #NovemberProjectSF #NovemberProject #NP_Continues #NP_WeekendWarriors #MarinFitnessProject #2020_074 #20200314 #laterGram #noFilter

encoded: 🌌🌧 It was a dark and stormy morning. The start of a long day, too long for one race report post. I got up, put on my running outfit I’d set out the night before (https://tantek.com/t55_3), snacked on a dark chocolate mocha Clif bar, and ran up to the intersection where Cori was coming to pick us up. Stephanie joined minutes later. It was only sprinkling, yet the cold was already biting, despite us wearing all the layers we brought. Cori picked us up, last two seats in her car, we huddled together for warmth and cracked jokes to lighten the mood and lift our spirits.

My dad and I jumped into start wave 8. We started in the middle of the pack, passed through the arch, and the struggle began. After a brief jog out of the field and part way up the Marin City suburb street, my legs dropped to a walk before even reaching the first trail.I power-hiked off to the right as best as I could, letting all the eager runners pass. My dad started to pull ahead. I encouraged him, just reminded him to look behind him every 30 seconds or so and keep me in sight.Pacing dad become chasing dad.We reached the Alta Bobcat intersection and saw a friendly group cheering us. Among them one of them recognized me from yesterday, and asked didn’t she see me yesterday, I said yeah I did the 50k, and am pacing my dad today, motioning in front of me with a grin. This seemed to catch her attention, and she ran up to catch us.She ran up ahead to my dad and asked if she could interview him. He had just taken a photo of me(3). After her interview she ran back to me and introduced herself, Brianna (who I’d later find out was @brisacksy from LA, mutual friends with @jussnessinaround! Small world indeed).The race leaders, having finished their down-and-up loop, passed us on the way to the first aid station. We reached the shady forest at the top of Alta trail and I almost caught my dad again.At the Alta station we topped off our waters, and headed down the moderately steep Rodeo trail. Memories came flashing back from ECSCA 2014 where this very trail was the long downhill of the marathon relay, my first 10k trail race.Passed a few runners on the way down. Started to close the gap with my dad a few times, yet he kept pulling away. Finally caught up at the second aid station at the bottom of the downhill, and we started power hiking our way up the Bobcat trail.I hadn’t felt hungry until then,…

Clean air. Ideal #runningweather. Running up the first couple of hills with pal Vivek to new segment PRs.Magically misty trails until climbing above the fog to clear skies above and a surreal cloudbank below. Pleasantly surprised to see Jenny Maier at the Cardiac Hill aid station pouring water for us racers. My only stop to take a selfie(2).Feeling nimble down the Ben Johnson trail, picking up speed until I was leading a pair of much faster 50 miler runners to the depths of Muir Woods, whereupon they quickly passed me on the uphill. Worked through a right calf about to spasm and lock-up on the Lost Trail climb out of the woods.Slower Dipsea descent than I wanted, but controlled. Stuffed salty Pringles chips in my mouth which tasted much better than they should have.Tough grind back up to Deer Park and then fun times again chasing another faster runner downhill to the highway. Steady work on Redwook Creek back to Muir Beach aid station and then the Coastal Fire Road grind.Finally the Fox trail descent on legs feeling tired too soon. I kept my toes pointed straight forward downward like Grady had told me to just 8 days before at NPSF, and took shorter shallower steps to maintain form. Picked up speed until I dropped into Tennessee Valley.Delightfully surprised to see Krissi who ran with me and talked me up to the Tennessee Valley aid station, coaching me on a plan to beat the sweepers. After making sure I got the water & fuel I needed without pause and kept moving, she ushered me up Marincello making it clear I had to pick it up to make it.Where I’d sped down earlier that morning passing racers, this time it was a strugglefest where I got passed.

title: : #FBF to teaching #yoga @Nov_Project_SF Friday 2017-10-13 @TheNorthFace. 📷 @poleary87 (except 2nd).I was honored when Paddy asked me if I could teach #NPSF yoga instead of our usual Friday hills, due to the poor outdoor air quality (unhealthy for everyone) from the north bay fires. Thanks to #TheNorthFace for allowing us early morning use of their space!This was my first time teaching a full one hour yoga class on my own indoors (having taught outdoors over the summer), as well as first time teaching NPSF as a whole.I came up with a custom routine (and a new playlist) that I thought would suit NPSFs abilities & challenges, provide a good workout, but perhaps most importantly help people connect with themselves, and hopefully find a sense of peace & calm amongst everything happening at the time.Interestingly, though anxious at the start, I found myself also feeling more peaceful and calm as the class proceeded. Afterwards I was just grateful I was able to provide and serve a community which has inspired and helped me so much.Learning to teach yoga and share that has been one of the highlights of 2017. My training @YogaFlowSF also left me with more questions than answers, personal and universal, that I know I will be spending more time thinking about in the coming years. Grateful for all my teachers, past and present.More photos: https://www.facebook.com/pg/NovemberProjectSF/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1158115940991564#NovemberProject #freefitness #yogi #yogis #yogisofnp #NP_YOGA #justshowup #teach #teacher #teaching #practiceandalliscoming #savasana #namaste #grateful #latergram #nofilter

title: : This morning was harder.It’s one thing to wake up in daylight,another to get up in darkness.One thing to run with a friend,another to run alone.To run in daylight,another to run in darkness.From darkness to dawn I made it to Diamond Head, and inside the crater as the sun crested the eastern rim. Less than twenty minutes later I made it to the summit. Clear skies overhead, the sun had ducked behind a cloud layer just above the horizon.This is my second #NP_PhotoContest entry. From the profile you’d think I was part elf.I’m standing in the same spot as two days ago, and yet, this morning began very differently. Alone, unmotivated, barely motivated, running, then losing nearly half an hour looking for a restroom, almost quitting and turning back, pressing on to complete a couple of miles, up to the edge of the crater, and having gone that far, finally motivated to push all the way up inside to the top.In that moment, beyond gratitude, I felt a growing sense of self-reliance, and some relief from self-doubt.Thanks to running with #NovemberProject, I’ve learned to get up in darkness and wear a headlamp when running before dawn. Thanks to running trails with #NPSF friends (often at #SFRC), I’ve learned to wear a buff to wipe my brow, carry enough water for the roundtrip, and pack a snack just in case.Running alone in the dark is still a challenge. There’s always an inside voice of doubt, speaking up at even a hint of exhaustion, tiredness, or breathing difficulty. I’ve learned to live above it by listening to it rather than rejecting it. By allowing myself the option to turn around, in a mile or two, it feels heard. And when that mile or two comes, the voice is almost always completely gone, replaced by feelings of momentum and self-confidence.About halfway to the summit I saw a #grassrootsgear orange tanktop coming the other way and met Jessie & her friend from NovemberProjectDC!

title: : #NPSF PR Wednesday 37:14, ~3 min slower than last month. Colder (47F), felt harder this month despite music. Maybe three weeks of races caught up with me. Maybe 4500+ meters climbed this month. Maybe both.Today’s PR Wednesday was not only my slowest this year, it was my slowest since March of two years ago (tantek.com/2015/084/t1).Every segment was a struggle. I told myself to keep going, one segment at a time. On the last lap just before the Scott street climb, I heard the last part of one of Zip's bounces in my head:Zipin: Will you ever quit?NPSFs: No, we want some mo', we want some mo', we want some mo'.And that powered my last hike up Scott street, to my fastest downhill segment of the day, and a more than 2x faster sprint up the steps than the earlier laps.Just grateful to finish PR Wednesday today to close out my most strenuous month of racing ever. Counting today, I’ve raced the past four weeks of this month:* 11th tantek.com/2017/315/t1 Mt. Tam Trail Half Marathon* 18th tantek.com/2017/328/t1 The North Face Endurance Challenge California Marathon Relay (2 legs)* 23rd Mountain View Turkey Trot 5km (personal CR, post forthcoming)* 29th @Nov_Project_SF PR WednesdayAnd the first week of the month (on the 4th) I set a personal trail distance record of 15+ miles with 3100+ feet of altitude climbed while training with Lillian who did 20+ miles in prep for her 50k at #ECSCA.All of that added up. According to my Strava I climbed over 4500 *meters* during my runs in November.That’ll do.Looking forward to a no-race December. We’ll see if I make it to next month’s PR Wednesday.Previously: tantek.com/2017/298/t1/npsf-double-pr-wednesday-tied-last-month

It was two days before I was to co-teach my first public Vinyasa yoga class as part of my last weekend of YTT, graduating that Sunday after co-teaching a second class. Yoga sequences and philosophical challenges occupied my thoughts nearly every waking minute. Still do.I am imperfect. Grateful for the humility reminder, and optimism that I can do better in the future.I am old(er). Old enough to be grateful for every day. Old enough to feel holes in my heart every day from the losses of too many younger friends. Old enough to fill those holes with memories of our shared times, and intentions to live and pass on their joy, happiness, energy, care, and positivity towards others.I am strong(er). Strong enough to know the barriers inside are often bigger than the barriers outside.I am grateful. For too much to list. Enough to remind myself in moments of craving or emptiness.I am hopeful, for the potential of every moment, for the positive changes we can make inside, and by our actions, outside, while being present in every moment, appreciating what is.I have a lot on my mind.

Mount Davidson view after running@Nov_Project_SFHillsRunning uphill is still the hardest for me to run, though with sustained effort and practice I am slowly getting better at it. I climbed over 2000' just two days ago, the combined total from double-PR Wednesday^1@Nov_Project_SFand evening run/hikes to finish out the Strava Mt. Everest Running Climbing Challenge for the month of May^2. Thanks to a restday yesterday and enough sleep last night, my legs felt fine (not sore) on the hills this morning.I know that “proper” training for a marathon requires increasing distance, both in long runs, and total weekly miles. Since uphill is my weakpoint, I’m focusing my training on that, and especially on trails since they are more forgiving (thus more body sustainable) than running on the road. Rather than total miles, I’m focusing on time spent at high-effort running. That feels more right for my body, and if my PR Wednesday improvement over the past two months is any indication, the right thing for me to do too.Now that I have Saturdays again, I will be running SFRC every Saturday morning that I’m in SF, doing my long runs on trails as well. I’ll eventually do at least one longish run (maybe 16-18 miles?) on road just to get used to doing so in the shoes I plan to wear for the race.

He ran literally more than twice as fast as me 😂. I’m grateful to hangout with such amazing (super)humans.However, I got the satisfaction of finishing a 6k, and seeing *that* dawn & sunrise before most of my friends were hitting their snooze buttons. #whileyouweresleepingNext up: In nine days I will race my ninth half marathon, the Surf City Half in Huntington Beach, California for the second time, with my dad (our fourth half together).Previous recent adventures in cold air running: * 31:27 TT 5k: tantek.com/2016/329/t1/ran-spartan-turkey-trot* PR Wed.

title: : Got up late for #NPSF, went anyway. Not a bad view for Friday flats. #latergram#nofilter.Slept badly, didn't want to get up to the alarms. Eventually it was 6amish and I stumbled into running clothes in the dark, grabbed my prepacked work bag and got a ride to Pier 7.Jumped in and did maybe 10 min of squats, sprints, push-ups, planks. Coffee for breakfast. Went to work. Hard boiled eggs for second breakfast. Took care of a few year end things. Cheese pizza for lunch.Left work before sunset, got in a 20 minute run back up the Embarcadero to the Exploratorium, down to SFMOMA, then over to Westfield. That'll do for today.One more sunrise of 2016 tomorrow, the rare 366th day of the year (with an even rarer leap second at 23:59:60Z, 15:59:60 PST).2016 will have been our literally longest year in a while.#wakeupthesun#fromwhereirun#novemberproject#justshowup#dawn#sunrise#pier7#embarcadero#baybridge#thatothersfbridge#bridge#pier#boat
