April had a lot of memorable moments:

#1 – My Brazil 135 video, “Meet The Guy Who Ran 135 Miles Without Stopping, And Filmed The Whole Thing” video was published by Buzzfeed. The Buzzfeed article and the video came out great and I loved watching my race again and somehow Henry edited the interview he did with me enough to get some good narration. The video became a minor viral sensation and had over 1.5 million views within the first few days. 

#2 – Mid-month, I went to Sonoma County with Billy to help him shoot the Lake Sonoma 50. I had a great time on the trip, filming and spectating at the race and doing a fun run on some rad trails along part of the course the day after the race. Here’s the video Billy put together, I think it came out great!

#3 – The weekend after Lake Sonoma, Elizabeth, the dogs and I took a quick trip down to San Diego. It was partly to see my parents and some recent renovations to their house and partly for another fun reason that I should be announcing early next week.

#4 – Throughout the month, I had a lot of great runs. I ran BOC every week and got a PR up Temescal to Greene Peak (36:56) that I’m pretty proud of. Every Saturday except the one when I was at Lake Sonoma, I got out to the San Gabriels for a long trail run with friends. We ran Mt. Wilson, Mt. Lowe and the first 26 miles of the AC100 course. Sundays were long road runs (18-22 miles). I’ve been doing a fun route around home (Runyon, Mulholland Drive, Griffith Park) that gets me good climbing and descents and some nice views too.

Two more solid months of training to go, but I definitely feel like I’m on the right track!
