Great meet today with on our new/old course, right in the backyard!
Took a lot if planning and help from many willing, parent volunteers, who I am very appreciative for! So glad nobody went off course! Also thanks to assistant coaches John .rafanelli and Riley, who helped things go off without too many hitches!

Also, thank you to for the timing of the race and putting up the results. So grateful for this, he is such a wiz and it made things roll smoothly!

It definitely was a bit warm with the temps in the high 80s, but I saw a lot of grit and determination in many of our runners to get through the tough conditions by toughening up themselves.

It was awesome to celebrate our seniors, since this is our only home meet, we took some time before the first race to recognize those who have been there since I started three years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long!

Congrats on many runners who got their best times in tough conditions. It was good to see a flatter course that we could roll out a bit, and we saw some PR’s!!
Not the same as Whipple Creek, which I love, but this was nice to see the race develop and it was good for spectators.

Thank you to the coaches at Camas for helping us make it a great low-key competitive fun environment. It just feels really good to have a fun cross country meet with people who strive to get better. I definitely admire the Camas program and look to keep building a great thing here at Skyview

Tomorrow will take a little bit of a break, have some fun and get ready for our next meet on Friday of next week at Nike Portland XC.

I’m so happy for , Parker did such a great job following through on all the work he needed to do to not only just rehab, but to level up his running past what he even expected!

After the race I got to talk with him over a beer in the beer garden with his parents there. He said that before the race, he gave himself maybe about a 2% chance to break 1:30, and he was just hoping to break 1:35! Goes to show that you can do a lot more than you even imagine.

We are so much stronger and hold so much more capacity than we can even fathom.

It’s amazing sometimes how we can look back at a time when things didn’t feel great, and it hurt just to run at all. Now, he’s clipping off sub 7’s for 13 miles!

Parker, it’s really a cool thing to see your enthusiasm for improving yourself and your dedication to being a better runner. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hopefully teach you a few things!
All the best,
Trent

Runners…..If you’re thinking of leveling up your running or just trying to get off the injury merry-go-round, and you have the enthusiasm and drive that Parker does, drop me a message and I’m happy to talk to you about how I can make you a healthier and better runner.

Great times at the Apple Tree Marathon and Half today, put on by !
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to see so many runners go for their goals and give it their all over distances most runners don’t consider going.
Karissa and her team were great, putting on a fun event that everyone seems to enjoy. They make it look easy but I appreciate all the hard work and organization it takes behind the scenes to make it run pretty darn smooth.

Also, thank you to the Skyview cross country team members who came out bright and early the day after a meet to help out the runners at an aid station. Coach .rafanelli headed this up and helped Skyview raise some money for equipment and travel. Thanks Charlie, Calliope, Jordan, Liam, and Grayson. Hope this inspires you to how far and fast you can go!
Special congrats to Parker for running his first half marathon in under 1:30. You’re just getting warmed up! So glad I got to meet you and help you through your knee issue, and now just level up and get better.

Also, good to see Kayl from my HTC team, he’s running a lot, so 13.1 in 2:30 was nbd!

Was awesome to set up my tent for Xtra Mile physical therapy, I had some great conversations with many runners and just enjoyed myself.

Hoping next time I can find a way to plug in my SoftWave TRT machine, so people can get the full experience of what I do to help them heal.

Again, thanks to Why Racing for an amazing time. I plan on competing next year!

It is so true that you live only once, and we need to make sure that we have a lot of fun and adventure in our lives.

This weekend at the Ultimook Race, I saw a lot of smiles, but also a lot of dedication and hard work to getting better as runners on the Skyview cross country team,

I love how our team came together to get there on the bus, put up everything for our tent and help each other through a pretty grueling and challenging course.

I’m so lucky to coach this cross country team and to see many of these runners grow up before my very eyes. The seniors now were freshman when I started coaching here, and I look forward to helping them be great leaders not only for this year, but for the future.

Great time at Ultimook yesterday! I did a lot of running around and didn’t get as many pictures as I wanted, so I’ll have to look into more shared pictures that parents took.

Great job for both the boys and the girls, it’s a good start to the season and I saw a lot of smiles and team camaraderie.

Will go into a week of training here next week and then post Camas here at the high school on September 16, hope to see some of you there!

Just a nice day of barefoot and fishing with Jack.
No agenda, just practicing with a new rod and seeing a lot of fish. No catch but it was good quality time, which is what really matters.
Getting in nature is such a blessing. Hope you all are having a great weekend!!

This post is long overdue, since I visited Dr. Barnick at his clinic a few weeks ago, and showed how can help be a perfect compliment to chiropractic care!
Dr. Roger Barnick has been a healer in the community for 2 decades now, gaining trust in those who he’s helped. He has built an amazing team around him that delivers great care, getting people back to their busy lives feeling great.
I really appreciate the time up there at his clinic in Ridgefield, and look forward to some continued partnership in the healing community.

My business is small but looking at what Dr Barnick has done to create a community based on good health really inspires me to serve my mission of empowering those I see to their best active lives!

The first week of cross country season for the team has got enough to good start.

I see a lot of good young runners who are new to the sport and I’m excited to share what I can for them to get better as a runner and a human being.

We’ve talked about what it takes to become a good teammate and also how to progress our running ability.

We’ve also done a lot of core work! The captains have done a good job leading the workout so far and I’m excited to have them lead the way to a great season.

Day 1 of Hood to coast 2025 is about over now, but not without record temperatures and some really tough times out on the road.

It was nice that we got runs in earlier in the day, but Van 2 of our Vanimals team had to really struggle through but they did amazing.

I’ll be running in about an hour going about 6 miles, no big whoop. Really proud of the whole team and how we’re all getting it done.

We had a moment of fame as well as my friend Rene on the team got to talk to the newscaster at Fox 12 news, so check him out on the news tonight or online.

Here we go…running leg 3 of this morning, before it gets hot.
Lord have mercy on Van 2…going to be a hot one, around 100 degrees forecast today.
