Orgasmic run in Tiburon
October 20, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · 2 Comments
Today we had the first day of our semi-annual offsite extended management team meeting (SAOEMTM ) in Tiburon. It was a very good day and the weather is absolutely perfect – even though we’re stuck inside all day. These are not my pictures, but its a good idea of what the views are like. Overlooking [...]

Skyline to the Sea – Ultra Marathon Mitch
September 21, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · 3 Comments
Yesterday, I completed – but not without mishaps – my first Ultra Marathon, the 50km Skyline to the Sea race from Saratoga to (near) the Pacific Ocean (Waddel Beach). This race was not without moments of pain, agony and doubts but also a number of purely magical running moments and great stories to boot (how [...]

So here I am, just 16 hours away from my first Ultra, and waiting the time out at the Saratoga Oaks Lodge in Beautiful Saratoga California. (It’s a charming town with tons of fantastic restaurants, tonight, for sure we’ll have some pasta and chicken – e.g. carbs and protein). While driving here, I had the [...]

Top Ten (personal) Runs

1. Sydney – starting from the Opera House, going over the Harbor Bridge, running along the water, through the city, and even joining (for a bit and by accident) an ongoing Triathalon Race in progress. 2. Bois-de-Bouloine (Paris) – This park is like the Central Park of London and running through parts of the city, [...]
1.75 Dipsea
May 24, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
Today we went for a training run before the Dipsea race in two weeks. I went with Zane, Ron and Kim from PVAC who were also in our van for The Relay. They are all 6-6.30 minute/milers and I knew that I would be in for a big disadvantage. Especially since Ron had done the [...]
