I ventured over to the Fans on the Field 10k this morning, for the final tune up before the Denver Marathon taper. It was a big race, I was surprised at how many people were there, 1,006 in the 10k alone. Before the start of the race, I was a bit lethargic, [...]

I didn’t hit my goal time at the Boulder Half Marathon, but close enough for this guy. I came through in 1:23:23, 6:21 pace. I’m pleased with the effort, it was a tough course, that is for sure.

I’ve ran the race course before, so I knew what to expect. The first [...]

At the last minute I decided that I am going to race the Boulder Half Marathon tomorrow. I headed down to the Boulder Res this morning to register, for the lofty price of $85. However, I have to give the Boulder Marathon credit for giving out some great schwag. I received a [...]

In the spirit of Bowerman’s Belfry, I’m writting a “Running is” post. When you run, when you’re putting in hours on the road or on the trails, you have a lot of time to think. One of the scenarios that have danced in my mind is what evasive maneuvers will I take if [...]

A decent week of training, however I have been rather tired, not fatigued, but sleepy tired. I’m going to make a concentrated effort of getting to bed earlier with the marathon being only five weeks away. My weight is also down to 163lbs, thus I have lost 11lbs since I resumed running after [...]

I ventured out to Kansas on Saturday to race the Southlands 5k. Well, not Kansas per se, the race was held at the Aurora Southlands Mall, but it felt like a long drive for this Denverite. I have to admit, one of the things that I love about being in Denver is [...]

I’d like to make my sales pitch to you, have you ever thought about the risk of injury while running and what that might mean to your family? The loss of a limb, a broken leg, a pit bull bites you in the ass, how would your spouse and kids cope? Ok, I’m [...]

In case you wondered what I looked like, that’s a picture of me winning the Golden Gallop 10k on Saturday and yes the time on the clock is correct.
I love to race, it’s what keeps me motivated. I don’t think I would run if I couldn’t race, otherwise I would get bored rather quick. [...]
