Headlands 200 Miler (2021)


On April 1st I headed out to Marin County to run (hike) 200 miles.

Back in October of 2020 I went out to the Marin Headlands with a small crew to try to cover 150 miles, but I fell short of my goal and headed back to Fresno feeling very disappointed.  After about 2 days of feeling sorry for myself, I decided I would go back to Marin and try to cover the 150 mile distance one more time.  I also decided that 150 miles were not enough and that I wanted to take a shot at doing 200 miles.  I wanted to prove to myself that I am capable of doing the distance that got the best of me, and a little more.

I got a crew together and started planning.  I decided to start on April 1st and try to finish on April 4th (my birthday).

The attached video is of that 200 mile adventure.  I stopped taking video the final 15 miles of the adventure, but my wife took photos so my video ends with a photo montage of the run.

I planned on writing a very long and detailed blog about this 200 mile experience, but as life kept getting busier and busier, I was unable to deliver what I originally had planned.

So for now... this is my Headlands 200 blog entry.



...until next time
