I realized the other day that I have now lived the majority of my life in the FresnoClovis area, but had never gone to the Clovis Rodeo. Figured it was high time I went… that and my good buddy had extra tickets! Ha ha, good times!

Shadow of the Giants 50k photos are (finally) ready! They are all in full color, just not these ones cause I was having fun with them last night...

Be sure to cruise the Pre and Post race gallery to download some FREE images. (also: Those images are of the same size and quality of the paid images if you weren't sure what you might be getting )

Don't forget to use the coupon code and tag in all the things.

Thank you so much to San Joaquin Running and the local trail and ultra community for allowing me to do this race and all the others in the area for the last 10 years. I am grateful to you all and look forward to helping preserve memories and running milestones for years to come.

Finally managed to make it up to Project Survival's Cat Haven out HWY 180 way after meaning to check it out for almost 20 years. Better late than never I guess! Taking a long lens to get even closer to these kitties is super fun, their eyes are all amazing.
