Maybe he was training for something, but maybe not. Sometimes trail running is its own reward. I kind of think he just enjoys running fast up and down hills (MOO), which might explain his attraction to the Pleasant Ridge Trails. It doesn't look like he had entered any running events since leaving the Mass area in 2017. Most marathon and trail race results are recorded at athlinks.com and ultrasignup.com, respectively. You can see his results there. I think with his speed he could have easily qualified for the Boston Marathon if he wanted to, but if he cared about that he would have done it when he lived there. Most of his prior events that I saw were trail runs and mountain run events.
Thank you for the eloquent response. PK seemed to have the need as well as a talent for speed. He can fly like the wind. A nice run at least once; maybe twice a day when in training, or not. Run. Just bc you and you love it. Right here. Right now.
125th Boston Marathon Monday, Oct. 11, 2021
This is an event my daughter yearned for and almost made it into the BM before having her first daughter. Accepting the Boston Marathon Invitational entries will be $370.00 USD this yr. Entering in Chicago Marathon is about as hefty. Both good size races.

125th Boston Marathon Monday, October 11, 2021
Qualifiers who were
7 minutes, 47 seconds (7:47) or faster than the qualifying time for their age group were accepted into the 125th Boston Marathon. In total,
23,824 applications were received by the <> deadline.
I'm not sure whey he would need to provide transportation back and forth to Stockton. Even without a car, there is a way to get to and from the Bay Area.
The ACE Train (Altamont Corridor Express) that runs from Stockton to the Bay Area provides train access to the Tri-Valley and the South Bay, but the weekend schedule has been canceled for a while. Right now it is running only weekdays.
If he had wanted to 'disappear,' a BART station is within walking distance of where he parked, and the Livermore Airport is just down the road on I-580 or either east via Stoneridge Drive/Jack London. Also I think buses run there all the time. Private jets take off there and regular prop planes as well.
Usually on weekends. the flights are just to local nearby airports or practice flights in and out of Livermore. I did notice on Flightaware where you can see departures and arrivals there was a lot of activity that day in spite of the heat. I did notice one long flight though....a private jet flight took off from Livermore Airport to Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport a little before noon that day.
In one of the press conferences from the ACSO briefing/PPD press conference on search progress, one of the reporters asked if they had looked at video of nearby airports. I don't think the police responded, but perhaps they are looking into that possibility perhaps.
Atlanta has MARTA that rapidly moves people around the metropolitan. CCTV on the transits at BART?

Nice intel gathering. Hastily departing the city via Livermore Airport to populated Minneapolis/St Paul on a private flight arriving in Minnesota at exactly what time? Can you track the tail #? Who owns the jet? Kreycik could be anywhere if he wanted to be. Does he have ties to friends or family in the St Paul area? Would this be a final destination, if selecting this option?
Are there cameras on the street corners if walking from his parked car to a BART station? A lot of people
vanish. I hope Philip Kreycik doesn't become a statistic.
Otherwise, officials feel they've more than adequately searched a sizable surrounding area of hopeful possibilities at the Ridge. But, his friends and other searchers will not stop until they find Mr Kreycik. I recall a co-worker of his that spoke to the press by saying he was her Manager.
Philip's an athletically fit genius who managed a very important division of PG&E. Prob pulled a fate six digit salary, maybe bonuses, vacay days, 401s. I suppose he stowed cash assets somewhere. That is, if walking away from Cali life was
his chosen journey.
