Who Reads My Blog?

Mostly just my sister.

But it's interesting to see who else stumbles upon my blog whilst traveling through the tubes. Why, just yesterday, yet another person googled "do monkeys have balls." Awesomely, I'm the number one result. Other popular searches are "paul farmer comma," "paul farmer a--hole," (I really take no pride in the latter) and "homemade odwalla bars," along with a bunch of boring hiking stuff that actually makes sense.

By far I am most proud of being the number one google image result for hike naked day, although sadly I don't have a counter installed on that page so I missed out on what must have been an enormous spike in views thanks to Governor Sanford.

    You are also still in my google reader. Hope that's not too weird ...

    Random question, have you ever been to Uganda?

    I lived a mile from the border on the Kenyan side, so I went over for a handful of weekend trips and such. Sipi Falls, Kampala, rafting the nile in Jinja...

The Adze Picket Co. (I Love the PCT)

Image
Me at the Border I spent the weekend at the ADZPCTKO with Nitro , Tatu Joe, Ducky (the Wise) , Tomato, BearCan't , Mattress, Love Barge, Nano, Sly, Disco , WeatherCarrot, Too Obtuse, Nacho, Tall Paul, Mags , and Wildflower (AKA Icognito Cheeto Bandito). I got a ride down with Firefly. I'm tempted to just end my post there, as it would seem like complete gibberish to many of you. But I won't. The ADZPCTKO is the Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kickoff, held the last weekend in April (also known as NFL Draft weekend, where, miracle of miracles, the Redskins, despite Dan Snyder's best attempts to screw it up, actually managed to avoid throwing away multiple draft picks on Chad Johnson and instead traded for more picks. Hallelujah!) at Lake Morena campground, 20 miles north by trail from the Mexican border near Campo, CA. Conventional wisdom says that the weather window on the PCT is such that there's not much point to starting earlier thanks to snow in the S

The 50th Year of Trying to Hold the Western States Endurance Run

Image
I ran the 50th Western States Endurance Run June 24-25 in a disappointing 28:54.  I mean, 50 years ago a guy ran a horse race, and 47 times since then a footrace of similar distance has been held. (There was one fire cancellation and one COVID cancellation.) So it's kind of the 48th running in the 50th year, but whatever. By disappointing I mean it took me longer than 24 hours, and it took me longer than the 25:30 it took me when I did it 10 years ago. (And by 10 years ago I mean 10 years, not eight, though I believe I applied eight times in those 10 years, having not bothered to apply in 2014, and if I remember correctly, COVID meant they rolled over 2020 without a new lottery.) I trained hard and consistently from early March through May 20, going as far as hiring an online coach. That seemed to work well, until it didn't. I hurt my hamstring running the Silver State 50K (more on that in my previous post ) and babied my hamstring for the final five weeks prior to Western Stat
