Yukon Arctic 100 Mile

I guess it comes down to you can’t tame the north, but the north can sure as hell tame you.

Honey Stinger

I’m overjoyed to be affiliated with a company so ahead of its time.  Honey Stinger, as a brand, is a group of folks I admire for several reasons: natural and organic, new concepts, and letting athletes drive the direction.  All of the products taste great and work at any stage of the race.

Sabrina Basin - 10/31/2012

I had just enough time to squeeze in a morning run to Hungry Packer Lake and make it back in time for a run to Dusy Basin later that afternoon. On this morning there was some breeze that precluded the type of mirror-like reflection in Sailor Lake that I had witnessed in 2007, but further explorations to Hungry Packer Lake’s outlet yielded some nice shots.

Running and Beer: Derrick Spafford on the Finer Things in Life - 08/27/2012

Funny enough, there was probably a beer connection to the start of my running streak as well. I went through a period where I wasn’t happy with my races. This coincided with a period where I was probably enjoying going out a little too much, and not living a healthy lifestyle. I sort of got frustrated with myself about this and decided on December 25, 1989 that I was not going to take another day off from running for as long as I could. More...

Standard Transmissions, Campgrounds, and the Transrockies - 08/22/2012

We made it! And in one piece! Which is surprising because I pretty much learned to drive standard on the drive to Colorado. I can now say that I am a pretty competent Manual driver and proud of it! Too bad it took me this long. More...

I sipped the Water, but was denied the Drink at Nueces 50 Mile - 03/12/2013

Straight up, this is a hard blog to write right now. My feelings are swinging between stop racing all together and I want to attack one, two, several races over the coming year. More...

Downtime - 10/31/2012

Not running a fall race was probably a good call though, as I was having issues with my temperamental right achilles tendon, and I felt that it could use some down time. I was still getting out for runs every day, but kept runs to the bare minimum for most of a 4 week period. More...

Where Water Buffalo Roam - 04/24/2012

I’m chasing a greyhound in the high country. It’s wearing a red hat, moves fast on the ridge-lines but stubbles up and down the hills. A tormenting beacon I can’t seem to catch. It’s a Montana sky—plain to see where a person is going; up then down, then up again. More...

Buddy Jones: New Season, Focused Schedule, New Goals

Buddy Jones: New Season, Focused Schedule, New Goals

I think the biggest factor to success in anything I have done in the past has been to set clear and concise goals for what I wanted to do. To merely have a training program or plan is simply not enough. You need to know where you want that training program to take you. This year I have done things a little differently in my goal setting and season preparation.
