For those that haven’t noticed from my posts elsewhere, I’ve at least partially split where I put up my blog posts. This will stay for family posts (and yes, we are really attempting to update it more consistently!) . The training and racing posts for me at least will be on another blog I started [...]

Last weekend was the second in the Winter Distance Series races, Frosty’s Frozen 5/10 miler. Hillary and I gave each other entry to this race series for Christmas, signing up for the middle distance (5k, 5mi, 10mi). This kind of gift (and it was the only gift we actually gave each other that was purely [...] We’ve been a bit busy lately as can be seen by my not posting my results yet from the Bolder Boulder, which happened two weeks ago. On to correct that - This year’s Bolder Boulder was much more enjoyable than last year, partially because I knew the course so the uphill wasn’t a horrible surprise and [...] Yesterday was the Barking Dog Duathlon again – this is becoming one of my favorite races of the season and the competition was kicked up a notch as well this year. I felt much better going into this race and during the race than I did a couple weeks ago at the Atomic Man. Compared [...] Today was the second time I raced in the Atomic Man Duathlon. As I did last year, I raced in the Little Boy division (4k run, 15k bike, 4k run). I did well over all, including improving my times from last year. Place: 2nd in division (clydes), 6th in age group, 22nd overall males, [...] Just a quick post saying that yes I did complete the half marathon last weekend! Thank you to Hill, Brenna, Tana and a few other friends that cheered along the way! I do need to put some more mileage in before doing something like that again though as my legs and body have [...] Tomorrow is the Platte River Half Marathon and for some reason I have massive butterflies about the race. I know I can go the distance as it will only be another 1.2miles beyond my longest run to date. It may be that the weather is semi “ify”. Supposedly a high of 36F, [...] Earlier today, I went out and completed the longest run I have yet – ~9.3miles (I hit stop rather than lap when I turned around). As I was finishing my run, I decided that it was time to step up and actually take the challenges that I’ve been talking about for a while now. Later [...] Yesterday was the second race in the winter distance series at Chatfield State Park. The last race for me was a 5k race and this one was a 5mile race. Even though I have been running 5-6 miles for many of my training runs over the past several months, training runs and races are not [...] I just saw my results for Rudolph’s Revenge, and they are better than I thought. Place overall – 101/308 dang – top half on everything, for “distance” running and me that’s pretty darn good! |
