3/8 double road Brisbane pics uploaded? Just wondering:)

Our gallery is up. Sorry this took longer than usual. Congrats on your world best performance for age 8. You are amazing and you have an amazing family for support. Hope to see you August 2 at our Golden Gate event. Hope the world is somewhat back to normal by then. Bob

As many of you may have heard I unfortunately was knocked down at the start of the National Masters 8K Championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia back on St. Patricks Day 2018 and broke my left hip. It has been a slow process recovering but after a year of no running at all and some training at short distances I was able to go out and complete a 5k in 27:28 at altitude. Still a long way to go to get back to running in the 22 minute range which is where I was when I went down. So great to be back to running again but I don't recommend breaking a hip in your 70's.

So glad to know you are back running Bill. Your freak accident has been a nightmare for you and I am so glad that you are able to get back to running. I know you love it so much. Happy New Year and I can't wait to run with you again. Bob
Bob Anderson 1/2/20 2:01 pm

Thanks Bob. May be out next December for the National Master's Club Cross Country Championships in Golden Gate Park. That's if I can get back to any kind of decent shape by then. Happy New Year my friend.

I ran with the Mid Pacific Road Runners Club on a 4 mile loop through Ala Moana Beach Park for their Friday Night Fireworks Run. After... there was a pot luck, beach chairs and watching fireworks, provided by Hilto Hawaiian Village.

While on vacation... I ran 4 miles with the Honolulu Marathon Clinic. They meet most Sundays in a park near Waikiki.

Ran 3 miles to track, 2.5 miles intervals, 3 miles home.

All of my results in Best Performances and in the Annual Rankings disappeared.

I don't know what happened. Everything disappeared, even from previous years.
Dwayne Spencer 6/27/18 7:04 pm

Fixed. Somehow your sex got changed to female and our computer who keeps track of everything got confused. In any case, nothing was lost. You are in the third spot. Congrats! and to everyone else in our race challenge. Bob
Bob Anderson 6/28/18 12:23 pm

Thanks Bob

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.

I'm back

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.

Today morning training running 3km by atime of 10minutes and 10 seconds

Great Race our family had fun. Double 15k is a true test for the runners ...i can call this race "Interval Race" as well :)

You ran great Aneka. You shattered the eight year old world best and in fact your time is the best for all females 13 and under. Well done. You really love running and it shows. Hope to see you and your family March 8 at our San Francisco Bay Double 15K in Brisbane.

Ready to run the Brisbane Double 15K in the morning. Going to be fun. See you there.

Run@Work Day 4.03 Miles

Good luck to everyone running our Golden Gate Double 8K, UjENA 5k or Golden Gate 10K on Sunday. Weather forecast is good.

Two weeks into my pulled hamstring doldrums... What's your favorite "I'm injured and can't run" workout? Tonight I did 40 mins on elliptical trainer and some weights but looking for that endorphin rush that only comes with running... suggestions welcome :)

So sorry to hear this Kelly. One thing I would do right away is buy some arthritis patches. I think they are about 1.50 each. When I had hamstring issues, I wore these patches day and night for a few days. I was able to run without pain in just a few weeks.
Bob Anderson 6/11/19 4:23 pm

Thanks Bob, great advice, was able to conservatively jog the across the Bay... hopefully getting stronger for next race - wharf2wharf

Kentucky Derby Festival > mini & Marathon | April 27, 2019. Sponsors: Humana , Norton Sport Health, Churchill Downs, MEIJER, POWERADE, Jim Beam, Courier-Journal. Visit: derbyfestivalmarathon.com stRT TIME: 7:30 a.m.

So I hit 56 years old last Aug 2nd. I had a knee injury that required surgery so I am no longer long distance running...Ok it is what it is, so why should this stop things, so here is my question, Is anybody interested in weight lifting, I would like to post my successes in my new journey in weight lifting as a senior citizen lol. Is this something that is allowed on the Ujena Fit Club, lets face it "it is the Ujena Fit Club" Right Bob anyway is this a thing on the Ujena Fit Club

Good to have you with us Ron. Our focus is running but we know some people can't run any more. The key thing is to keep moving. Weight training is one good way to do it. If you can you should mix in walking too.
Bob Anderson 2/27/19 9:14 am

Went for my Tuesday night four mile run and thought about how honored I am to be in the mix with two of the most amazing women runners in the rankings. Hats off to the amazing Barbara Robbin and Scarlett Gilbert... true inspirations! I will miss the awards Friday (commitment with my college daughter) but will acknowledge their achievements here--Congrats, age has no limits!

make that Sharlett Gilbert... darn autocorrect

Pacific Grove Double Road Race and Pacific Grove 10K/5K this weekend. Packet Pickup is Saturday at Fleet Feet in Monterey noon to 5pm. See you there!

Just got back from Bend Oregon. Run a lot of miles with Michael on some amazing courses. I can understand why a lot of good runners come from Bend.

At 8 am, I joined the Lululemon Running Group (Waikiki) for a 4.5 mile run through Kapi’olani Park and along the Ala Wai Canal

Ran 6.25 at a faster than normal pace on dreadmill.

Ran a very hot 5.5 miles with local running club.

Did an easy two mile with Steve Cryer this morning. Been great hanging out with Steve the last two days. We did 3.9 miles yesterday.

Ran 16 miles into Boston for a donut.

Ran 2 miles to track, intervals, 3 miles home.

Got in my 20 miles for last week.  Ran six miles yesterday.  Thanks to everyone who participated in my Global Run Challenge No 1 which we did on Global Running Day June 6.  It was fun, we reached our goal of 500 plus miles.

Getting in 20 or more miles per week. Ran a 20K race May 27 in Paris. Going to run a couple more races before our August 5 Golden Gate Double 8K

3.11 miles in 30:00 on the neighborhood streets, then 9.15 miles in 30 minutes on the recumbent bike. My calf injury seems to be behind me at this time.

Got in some good runs over the weekend in Bend Oregon. Wow, what a great place to run. My son lives up there now and I can't wait to get back up there.

I love Oregon... graduated from Grants Pass High in Southern Oregon. Skied Mt Bachelor in Bend. Perfect powder!
Kat Powell 5/15/18 8:24 am

Bend is an amazing place to run. Running along the river and canals really was nice.
