Pushing through a respiratory cold, I ran the OC Half Marathon 2026 in 1h 47m exactly, my second-fastest HM, and my 28th HM. 🏃‍♂️ Weather was nice and cool, and my leg muscles felt far better in the finishing miles, a result of durability training, than last year.

Watch my 1.88-mile run in Big Sky, Montana, without stopping and without poles in 1080p video. This beautiful 38°F day was unusually warm for here.

My debut run on the Golden Gate Half Marathon 2025 🏃‍♂️ in 1h 53m with 711 ft elevation gain in 92% humidity 💦 and 55°F running hills in the Presidio and on the bridge both ways through the mist. Felt comfortable the whole way. Earned the Golden State Challenge too.
