This overcast Wednesday I went to Green Mountain and tried out my new Forerunner 305. I wanted to take it a bit easier the first part, and it did feel that way. But I managed to make it in 10 min to Saddle which I think was a pretty decent time. The rest of the [...]

Guess I have been a bit slacking on writing! Monday I went on a run through Hall’s Ranch near Lyons which I really enjoyed. The air started out cooler than usual but it heated up fast. It’s amazing to run all the way to some abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. There were some [...]

I have always wanted to drive up this road but every time I went, it was closed (it’s only open in the summer Thurs-Sun). So I decided that I would run it. It was quite possibly the most enjoyable run I have done. I balked a bit at the RT length of 18 miles, but [...]

First time…didn’t know it was such a steep climb! This photo’s pretty much shows what one climbs for about 1 mile (interspersed with log steps). My legs will thank me in 3 days, but for now, it was a LOT of work! So funny to see mountains beyond Boulder…one sometimes can forget that they are [...]

Ran up to the boulderfield at Longs Peak and I had pretty much the exact time that I ran my first time there. Not sure how that works, felt a lot better and springy than I have ever felt and thought I walked a lot less up those annoying big steps, but it came out [...]

I was staying out in West Denver and realized that I had access to a pretty decent long trail I could pound out 12 miles on. It is a relatively new trail created where Stapleton Airport use to be and runs generally along I-70. The sound of traffic was with me pretty much the whole [...]

I only had one time to run when I went to SD for the weekend to attend a family reunion. I had hoped to be able to run a part of the Mickelson trail, but I was pretty much in a car for the whole weekend being tour guide and so ended up doing the [...]

I wanted to run up Longs before it started to get too cold but only had 2.5 hours of running time before I had to pick up one of my clients from school. So I set my goal to Chasm Lake or as far as I could in 1.5 hours. As expected, I tried to [...]

Went on a longer than planned run around a quarter of San Francisco (see map). The run up Divisadero was annoying because there were traffic lights on every single intersection…and it was a LONG street! But it was great to be able to run at sea level and not have any oxygen issues one would [...]

This is a route I drive quite often and often wonder aloud why on earth all bikers choose to bike this boring, asphalt car/SUV highway? Well, despite all my previous wonderment, I wanted a nice and easy 14 mile run so I thought I would give it a go: Longmont or bust! It was a [...]
