| Comments | I have been running for 55 years and I love it just as much as I did when I first got started. I am running 25 or more races in 2011 and six will be half marathons. I have run 10 marathons over the years but not in the last 25 years. My body likes the 10-mile to half marathon the best. However, I do enjoy racing 5k and 10k too! To Celebrate 50 years of running and racing, I ran 50 races in 2012 and I averaged 6:59/mile for 350.8 miles. In 2013 I ran the Boston Marathon and finished with 3:32:15. I had not run a marathon for 30 years. In 2013 I ran all the Double Road Races and am planning on doing the same in 2014. As I approach 70 (Dec 28, 2017) I am enjoying running as much as always. I am not racing as much but that is only because I have so many things going. I plan to run more races starting in 2018. |
| Fitness Statement | I run or walk everyday and at least 20 miles per week. To race well I do need to push it at least twice during the week which I have not been doing. This is going to change. |

We just received our medals for our races Dec 16 in Palo Alto, Ca. Are you running with us? Double 15k (10k+break+5k), 10k, 5k and kids mile (13 and under)
Looking forward to the Marina Double 15k in. Brisbane April 9. My friend JR and I have done two training Doubles there and it is a fast course.
Hope everyone is safe and getting in lots of miles. Many races for May and June have been canceled or postponed but things will be figured out and we will be able to race again at some point. The most important thing now is we stop the spread of this virus. Ran eight miles yesterday with my dog Daisy.
Are you joining us December 14 for our Christmas Double 15k, Baylands 10K and Palo Alto UjENA 5k plus kids (13 and under) 1 mile? Hosted by UjENA Fit Club. www.christmasdouble.com Hope to see you there.
Congrats to all our UjENA Fit Club members who raced with us this morning in Brisbane. I hope you had as much fun as I did? Results are posted on the Brisbane website and photos will be posted tomorrow here.
Ready to run the Brisbane Double 15K in the morning. Going to be fun. See you there.
Good luck to everyone running our Golden Gate Double 8K, UjENA 5k or Golden Gate 10K on Sunday. Weather forecast is good.
Decided to run The Across The Bay 12k at the last moment. Been wanting to run this for a long time. Hope to run sub eight pace. We will see.
Happy Global Running Day. Be sure to get in at least one mile today and encourage your friends and family to do that do!
The Palo Alto 10K, UjENA 5K Run/Walk and the DOUBLE 8K (5K+break+3k) is coming up March 10. We have just a few spots left since we are limited to 400 runners. Still time to join us. See you there.
Hi Bob, This is Kelly Van Zant Maine, who used to live in the Bay Area (now in Ramona) I hope to see you at the Carlsbad 5000 on Sunday.....Hopefully you will get a Double Road Race set up for SoCal soon! Good Luck
Kelly
Sorry I missed you Kelly. Hope you had a good race. Hope to get a Double in Southern California soon. Bob
This coming Sunday at 2am our clocks need to move forward by one hour. Don't be late to your race Sunday morning. Palo Alto Double 8k is this Sunday.
Been getting in 40 miles a week of Double-Style training. I am hoping to be in better shape for our upcoming San Jose Double Feb 20. See you there!
Merry Christmas everyone! Be sure to get in a Christmas Day and New Year's Day Run.
I did a 21K Double Training Run yesterday. I first ran 15k (9.3 miles) from my house to Stanford. At 9.3 miles I started walking and by 10 miles I was at the Coupa Café on campus. I ordered a banana, a bottle of water and some chips. It was my personal halftime. After about 20 minutes I started walking again (I was enjoying my halftime). The second 6k stage would start as the rules state...two hours and 30 minutes after the start of the first leg. I walked a mile or so before the clock hit 2:30. I started running again. I certainly felt better than when I stopped after only about a quarter of a mile. But I hit the wall about two miles later. I did finish my 21k Double Training Run and I have a time to beat..two hours 3 minutes and change. Give it a try!
Can you get the Coupa Cafe to put in a refreshment station at your future Bay Area doubles?
Coming up a week from Saturday is our 5th San Jose Double Racing Festival (Sat Aug 22) presented by IDT. Packet Pick Up is Friday at Road Runners Sports in Campbell noon to 6pm or race morning 6am to 7:15am.
Good luck to everyone running our Golden Gate 8k Double Adventure Run on Sunday Aug 2. There is one tough hill near the start of the 5k leg. Then there is a good downhill about a mile and a half out. Half on roads and half on trails. The GG bridge is in view most of the way. The 3k leg is all flat. Weather forecast is good. Packet Pickup at ARM in San Francisco on Saturday 2-6pm. Or race morning from 6am to 7am. We have a few spots left if you have not signed up.
Way to go Risper. First female at Wharf to Wharf 6 miler. You make us proud!
Double Training Run tonight (July 9) at A Runner's Mind in Burlingame at 7pm . No cost. Can you join me?
Next Double Racing Event is happening July 19 in Palo Alto. Half trails and half paved roads. Good course! Double 8k (5 3) and Kids Cup Double 1.5 mile. Flat and fast.
Hi Bob... Just wanted to say my wife and I watched your movie today and it was fantastic! Makes me want to get out and run even more!
Got in 33 miles over the weekend (Saturday-Monday) at about 9 minute pace. It felt good to get in more miles than I have been doing. I even worked in four quarters at about 1:35 each. My legs feel it today!
Fort Lauderdale Double Racing results are at: www.floridadouble.com
Congrats to all our members who ran the Boston Marathon. Was the weather as tough as what the news reported? Ujena Fit Club member Meb Keflezighi finished eighth with a time of 2:12:42.
Congrats to Meb and all members who ran. Yes, for most of us the weather was as tough as reported. Headwind, rain almost nonstop after mile 10 (showers before) and cold. Shivering at the finish.
Off to Oklahoma City for the OKC Double Road Race April 4. See you there. .
