New Year’s Eve Resolution 5k Denver 2008

24th Annual Resolution 5k Denver Race Results
Apparently you loose a lot of conditioning when you don’t run. Since CIM, I had run four times before last nights race, with my longest run being 5.5 miles. Thus, I was not expecting to race well and I wasn’t really in the mood to race, so [...]

California International Marathon 2008

Ventured out to the “The Golden State” on Saturday morning, arrived in Sacramento around 1pm and I did not see the sun the entire time that I was there. When I got there, it was a balmy 40 degrees and a warm 60 degrees back in Denver. The first thing that I noticed [...]

Ventured out to Brighton, Colorado this morning for the
Brighton Turkey Trot 5k. Brighton is beautiful this time of year, so I wanted to be sure to check out the town. I left Denver at 7am, filled up my car with gas and thought to myself when was the last time [...]

After work, I headed out to Washington Park to run the
Scream Scram 5k, arriving ten minutes before the 6pm start of the race. This gave me just enough time to register myself and get my three year old daughter in the 100 Meter Spooky Sneak, which was before the race. After [...]

Denver Marathon 2008

Finished, 2:57:34

I’m disappointed, I ran pretty even splits, but I just couldn’t get down to the 6:40 pace that I desired, sort of odd. Even the last couple of miles were strong, I felt like I could push it harder cardio wise, but the legs would not respond. The disappointing part [...]

Run the ‘Rocks 5k 2008

Results

If I could have run a 24:37 5k, I could have taken the victory today in the
Run the ‘Rocks 5k, but it wasn’t in the cards.
I left Denver at 7am, the rain had finally stopped and the sky was clearing up. As I drove west on I-70, the conditions worsened, rain and fog [...]

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, [...]

Boulder Half Marathon 2008

Results

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 [...]

Southlands 5k 2008

Race results

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 [...]

When my alarm sounded at 6:20am this morning, I thought why am I doing another race? I got out of bed and made the classic runner’s breakfast of Toast and Peanut Butter and a Red Bull. I headed over to Arvada to find
North Jeffco Park and if you look at that [...]
