While warming up for the Gobble Wobble 5k, I thought I might have a chance to take home the W. I saw a few runners who looked about my speed, but no one that I was certain would defeat me. A minute before the start I saw Russel Slade and Jay [...]

I ventured up to Longmont this morning to participate in the 35th running of the Longmont Turkey Trot 10k. Met up with Mr. Fuller at the registration table and we then proceeded to do a mile warm up. The temperature was in the mid 30’s and I love the cold weather for [...]

I arrived in Manhattan on Thursday evening, my first visit to New York City. I’ve been to the state of New York a few times, but have not been into the City. My sister lives in Manhattan, on the Upper East Side. Thus, I had a convenient place to lodge and I [...]

It was not a fair fight from the beginning. I’m on a taper, the legs are fresh and the tires on my Instep Stroller were inflated to maximum pounds per square inch to reduce rolling resistance. I met Brandon near the start line, pretty sure that neither of us did a warm up, [...]

The Regis University 5k started at 10am, so why did I leave my house at 9:44am? Obligations and life would be the answer, sometimes they get in the way of running. Fortunately Regis University is close to my house, but I also realized on the drive that I didn’t exactly know where the [...]

I was not feeling it today.
This past week I had been battling a cold, had a bad sore throat on Tuesday and Wednesday, runny nose, et al. but thought I was getting better. For whatever reason last night it seemed to make a comeback, I woke up a few times coughing and when [...]

Skirt Chaser Results here
One second faster than last year, ran a 17:47, looks like a break out season is on the cusp! The Skirt Chaser course is rough and tough, tough but fair. Felt pretty decent during the run, I have yet to look at my splits, figure it doesn’t really matter since [...]

I am still sore from the Pearl Street Mile, a race that took place three days ago.
I had a hectic day on Thursday and arrived in Boulder twenty minutes before the start of the race and 1/2 mile from the start. I ran to the start, picked up my packet and timing [...]

Lyons River Run 5k Race Review
I love going to races in small towns. Growing up in Iowa, almost every race that I ran was in a small town and connected with whatever spring/summer event the town had going on. Be it the Sweet Corn Festival, Watermelon Festival, Strawbery Festival, etc. Thus, [...]
