Leona Valley Trail Half Marathon
Yesterday, on September 29th of 2012, Jenny and I ran the Leona Valley Trail Races half marathon event that takes place in Lake Hughes within the Antelope Valley.
Turning 42
This week on September 20th of 2012, I turned 42 years old. As my brother Antero the astrologer says, I’ve completed another lap around the Sun. Like a spec of dust in our infinite universe, I am simply a passenger along for the ride of this thing called life, a life that continues to move forward with or without us.
Dead Can Dance Concert
Last night I was able to experience a fairly rare concert by one of my favorite artists, Dead Can Dance. A unique transcending aural experience that can penetrate deep into your heart and soul to fill it with mesmerizing warmth. There is nothing quite like the music of Dead Can Dance lead by the powerful haunting vocals of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry.
Duran Duran Concert
Duran Duran was one of the biggest Britpop bands from the 80’s and 90’s that dominated the MTV air waves and Billboard charts. While I’ve never been a big fan of the band, they do have several classic hit songs that helped define pop music in those decades.
Hauli Sunset
This past weekend we went to the Finnish camp Hauli Huvila for their Golf and Games weekend. While we skipped the actual golfing, it turned out to be a more intimate and smaller crowd this weekend compared to our previous visit on Memorial Day Weekend, which was packed and very rowdy.
Angeles Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run
The annual Angeles Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run occurred this past weekend on July 21st and 22nd. A grueling 100 mile endurance run that takes place on parts of the Pacific Crest Trail through the Angeles National Forest located in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Los Angeles in Southern California.
Hauli Huvila Wallpapers
While at Hauli Huvila over Memorial Day Weekend we captured a lot of photos. You can see a lot of them in my other article about Hauili Huvila here. Select photos of the Finnish Flag, the beautiful sunset, along with some of the wild flowers turned out really nice. Good enough to be used as wallpapers for your desktop, iPad (now in the new iPad retina display size), iPhone, and Facebook cover. I hope you enjoy them.
Memorial Day Weekend at Hauli Huvila
This past Memorial Day weekend Jenny and I were able to experience a slice of classic Finnish summer weekend at Hauli Huvila. A taste of Finland‘s summer days and nights at a great getaway camp located on the Kings River on the outskirts of Reedley in the San Joaquin Valley.
Pasadena Marathon Bike Tour
I’m a little late in getting this up but it’s been a busy few weeks working on projects and traveling for the Memorial holiday, plus it took a while to get my video completed. Anyway on May 20th we attended the 2012 Pasadena Marathon, sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.
Wild Wild West
Earlier this month we participated in the 34th Annual Wild Wild West Marathon that took place in the foothills of Mt. Whitney near Lone Pine, California. A trail race event that has four different run distances; a 5k, 10 mile, full marathon at 26.2, and a 50k marathon, for full details read my Wild Wild West Marathon event report. After going through the all the photos I found a handful that turned out really nice as wallpapers, they showcase a little bit of the beauty of the mountains and nature of the local area.
