inner city childrenSACRAMENTO, Calif., May 8 –
On May 15/16, Jason Harper will run 100 miles to raise awareness of the plight of health care for many inner- city children of Oak Ridge Elementary School in Oak Park, the roughest part of inner-city Sacramento, California. Harper, a Community Outreach Director, has partnered with Principal Steve Lewis for the last four years.

Learning of the school’s plight, Harper and friend Rick Cole, a local pastor, ran the 2005 Big Sur Marathon. The first-time runners finished the race and raised $20,000 for the school. Since then, more than $100,000 has been raised in goods and services, academic supplies, computers, backpacks, and a recently implemented teachers’ lounge that rivals any Starbucks.

A Moment In Time

trail running at runonearth.com

The ocean breeze sifts through her hair as she glides, staring at the setting sun. She watches the clouds and their visual sensations. They are fire with dark smoke, yet, motionless, like a candle behind a window. From behind, the summit stares with her each mile, crying tears of snow into the rivers that flow toward the sun, as another season nears to fade. Another mile, the sun dyes colors of purple and reds into the skies and glistens from wave to wave. The water seems to burn as hot coals from the light of sun. Each breath of fresh sea air adds just a bit of life to each fluid stride. Birds hover and soar in peace above. Their wings seem to wave with the ocean. An entire image breathes. A second of time, graced by Earth and health, is a memory. Every second collectively is an unforgettable run. What only makes it better is taking her human out with her.

run chuteby Casey McGuire

Though there are those who simply just run on trails, and enjoy every second, there are so many looking to become better, or see results from their trail running. Training is the art of improving one’s fitness, and often times, that art can be an intense task, and improvements do not always follow. Many though they try to “train” are idling instead, because they lack knowledge, time, and the resources to progress. Continue reading ‘Plateaus and Results’

Jamie Frink fell in love two years ago on a trail in Lone Pine. Chad Long took the plunge that same spring in Cool. And Patrick DellaPace found similar joy last year on a challenging ascent to Auburn. The object of their affection? Ultrarunning, which lures people from the road racing world with the promise of testing their physical limits, savoring nature’s beauty and sharing in a laid-back culture that emphasizes camaraderie over competition.

workowsiBefore Sean Workowsi can hit the trail, he has to finish his day job as an attorney at Frith, Anderson and Peake. Most of us probably hit the couch when we get off, but not this guy. He gets in the car and heads off to the Appalachian Trail to train anywhere from one to six hours a day.

“The Appalachian Trail is great for training because there is a lot of up and down,” says Workowski. Continue reading ‘Roanoke man prepares for 100-mile race’
