WMRC 10/26

Hello everyone!

We are on for an easy trial run in the Phx Mtn Preserve tomorrow morning at 5:16am, top lot of SQ PK DR.

Runner of the week goes to Jay Danek. He should have got it last week for his awesome 12 (10) hour 100K victory at the Javelina 12 hr run. Way to go Jay!

Bad runner of the week goes to Jeremy who then took Jay out to the superstitions the next week and gave him a death march that may cut his streak of 590 days of running in a row to an end. Way to no Jeremy. Read about how much Jay hates Jeremy on his blog here.

See everyone tomorrow morning!

Run Wednesday Morning 5:15 a.m.

Guess what....???!! We're going on a trail run this Wednesday morning at the top of Squaw Peak drive. Last week we had over 23 trail runners for the epic journey through the North Mountain Preserve. The run will be about an hour, and about 6 miles. A flash light is needed for about the first 15 minutes. The weather is fantastic. You have no excuse. Be there.

WMRC 10/12

We are on for a group run tomorrow morning at 5;16 am. Should be a great day out there with a very special guest.

Runner of the week goes to University of Arizona AD for relieving Mike Stoops of his weekly temper tantrums and the belittling of 19 yr old kids. Football is supposed to be fun and it is much more fun when you win every now and then. Adios Senior' Stoopido.

Runners up goes to The Matazal crew of Honey and Debbie for putting on the annual 18 miler up there. I know they had about 20-30 people make the trek up and run this great course. Thanks Deb and Honey.

For more info check out WMRC superstar Jay Danek's Blog here.

This week's special guest is Pearl Izumi Ultra Team captain, Scott Jaime. He will be joining us tomorrow as he is in town on business. Scott is an elite ultra runner for many reasons, one of them being, that he is just a great guy and family man.

See everyone tomorrow for an "easy" hour in the preserve.

Someone is camped at the usual spot, so just continue down the road another 1/4 mile. We are on the left side still. Pass on the word if you get this. -Jamil

WMRC 10/5

Man vs. Horse went down this past weekend and lots of WMRCer's were going at it.

Runner of the week goes to Marius Toma, he finished his first 50 miler and had a blast doing it. I had a great time running with him and Gavin for about 15ish miles and they were doing great.

Joe G, Gavin, John V, Honey, John Roig, Jamil (3rd pl) , all also did the 50 miler. Some people, person removed them selves from the race with a DNC (did not care) at mile 32. (thanks Megan for the ride back to the start)

Please tell me if I missed anyone, wasn't there for the 25 but know some peeps were there. Sorry.

See everyone tomorrow morning, 5:16am, don't be late! GO DIAMONDBACKS!!!!!!

WMRC9/28- Bear 100 Re Cap

We are on for an easy 1:03 trail run in the PMP tomorrow morning at 5:16 am. This will be an easy pace as many are heading up to Prescott for Man against Horse this weekend.

Runners of the week are too many so it goes to Blue again. Just kidding.

JJ, Steph (pictured above), Lizzie , Andrew, Jody and Mark H all finished the Bear 100 this past weekend. One highlight includes Lizzie falling in a river twice while freezing at night. Andrew said he almost could have ice skated across b/c it was so cold. They were paced by WMRCer's Momo for Steph and Honey for Lizzie. Not sure of the rest.

Great job to all involved in the very successful weekend up there!

See everyone tomorrow morning.

Summer is over! Get out and run Wednesday morning.

Come join us for an hour run in the trails of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Meet up 5:16 a.m., Wednesday morning. It's no longer ungodly hot out. It's beautiful! Casual fun pace, nice folks and some beautiful people.

WMRC 9/14

We are on for a nice and relatively easy trail run in the preserve tomorrow morning at 5:16am. We will run up and down and down and up and down for about 5.7 miles in 1:04. This will be fun.

Runner of the week goes to Bill Barthen. He finished the Wasatch 100 miler in 29 hrs this past weekend. This race has an elevation gain of 27,000 ft over the 100 miles and is extremely hard. Well done Bill! This was the final race of the grand slam of 100's for Bill. He finished Western States, Vermont and Wasatch, only dnf'ing in Leadville due to an elevation troll that was hiding in his Camelbak repeatedly beating him over the head, neck and chest with a giant stick of some sort.

See everyone tomorrow morning at 5:16 am- Top lot of SQ PK DR.
