Racing again: Turkey Trot at Sea Level

Posted on22. Nov, 2010
We are fortunate in Boulder and the plains of Colorado that running in winter time can sometimes mean running shorts and t-shirts even in February. But as this isn’t often the norm its nice to find a product that allows you to run with your iPhone, smartphone, or ipod touch or any other touch and keep your hands warm.

Denver Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Volunteer Recap
Posted on19. Oct, 2010
The volunteer check in was located behind a giant row of port-o-lets on the south west corner of Civic Center park next to the Stadium. Medium shirt, check, name tag, check.

I just happened to be standing near 2 other lost souls looking for a chance to help when the lead coordinator Michelle pointed at the three of us and assigned us to the VIP area. Excellent!

Start
Posted on12. Oct, 2010
Over the last 16 months I’ve been through stress fractures in each foot and now a broken collarbone. In between the injuries I took my workouts as they came. Water running, elliptical trainers, a run here, a bike ride there. No real plan, just glad to be out on the roads and trails again. But there has to be more…

Posted on01. Jan, 2010
I believe am not alone in the quest for starting off the year in the right direction, setting expectations through my initial run.
Recovering from a late New Year’s Eve and spending time with my family all morning, it wasn’t till after three in the afternoon when I headed out with no real plans on a course except to just head up to the trails. With YakTrax in hand, I started slowly up to Bear Creek Trail below NCAR. The dirt service road was packed with snow
