After losing my job in tech during the dotcom crash in 2001, I decided that running might be something fun to do. Living in Marin at the time did not make it too hard to start either. Just above Sausalito, CA I discovered a trail that broke the ice to a new era in my life. I found trails as far as the eye could see with the Pacific ocean and the San Francisco skyline as a back drop. I soon learned that running was something that came naturally to me. Sadly I had to move away from Marin and found myself running the trails scattered throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains. My first was a trailrun in Purisima Creek Redwoods, which spans a section of the Santa Cruz Mountains between Woodside and Half Moon Bay. It was here that I realized my love for this sport, and envisioned a killer website for others who share this passion to enjoy. I was on a mission, and it did not take long for me to discover that I live smack-dab in the middle of a trailrunning mother lode. My focus fell on the boundless trail systems within the Midpeninsula Open Space and the Marin Headlands. Arming myself with maps, a digital camera and Global Positioning System technology I set out to put together a highly informative and interactive trailrunning website like no other. See for yourself what makes my training so special! It's free to join. All you need to do is show up! Rob
