Rockin’ the 2007 Denver Marathon in the Rain!
July has come to a close. I figured this would be a good time to compare July 2008 to July 2007. In 2007, I ran
Grandma’s Marathon in June and had a miserable performance. I was hoping to break three hours and ended up falling [...]
I was contemplating running
Boulder Backroads Half Marathon, as it would be a great tune up before the
Denver Marathon. The $80 “Standard Entry” seems rather steep for a Half Marathon, so that is one drawback. I also went to marathonguide online and checked out some reviews of last year’s race, I figured [...]
I am locked and loaded to participate in the
Skirt Chaser 5k, which will be held on September 6, 2008, in Denver (Fillmore Plaza). It’s a unique concept, the women are given a three minute head start on the men and the men then “chase”, thus the reason they call it the Skirt Chaser. [...]
In general, I believe in the
KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) principle. This also applies to the name that you give your business. I’m always baffled when I see a business name and I can’t guess with a high degree of accuracy what that business does.
If you own a coffee shop and it’s [...]
I think I could fool a few people in the crowds if I dressed like Lance (10/2 Shirt & Shorts) and ran in a marathon that Lance was running. Currently, I have the exact same haircut as Lance in that picture and my hair color is the same, I also have the
Oakley Radar [...]
I recently received a copy of
Runner’s World, July 1980. First, look at the cover, Frank Shorter, there he is, the man, the legend, wearing a matching running outfit with some girl and what appears to be a dress watch. I can only assume that Frank Shorter is wearing athletic apparel from [...]
Another week of blistering heat in Denver has made running tough, I’m ready for the fall. I was able to get in most of my planned runs, as well as get in a few solid runs this weekend. Today was the toughest, as I did 13 miles in the morning. I’m not [...]
“Running with the Buffaloes” is the best running book that I have ever read, 5/5 stars. That’s it, it’s that good, pick up a copy, and you will not be disappointed. Ok, Ok, I will give you a review.
“Running with the Buffaloes” chronicles the 1998 Cross Country season at the University of Colorado. [...]
A good week of training as I continue building up the miles. I also did my first race since my injury,
The Roger’s River Run 5k. The race did not go as expected but it’s nice to know where I am, and also to know that I have a lot of work to [...]
Whether you’re running a race, or just running for fun, a good workout can take a lot out of you. That’s why so many runners have discovered that Natural Light beer is a great tasting way to replace some of the fluid that’s been lost.
Natural Light has the smooth refreshing taste that comes from [...]
