This was my first time racing the Rock ‘N’ Roll Denver Half Marathon. It looked like an exciting late season race that worked well with my schedule. I was also familiar with the course so there would be no big surprises. IRONMAN own the Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon brand so there was a very familiar…
The BolderBOULDER is quickly becoming a yearly tradition. This is the fourth year I’ve run it and I keep continuing to improve. Even if not by much. Last year I set a new PR for the BolderBOULDER and was close to the 40 minute mark. The desire to join the sub 40 club born then,…
The 2019 Colfax Marathon was my second attempt at the marathon distance, outside of an IRONMAN. And my second time run Colfax. The marathon has been a bit of a struggle for me. I keep wanting to go the distance, but I’m never as ready as I want to be. Two years ago I was…
This was the third year in a row that I ran the BolderBOULDER. My running has been improving and my volume has been high this year, so I had some pretty big expectations for the race. Race morning started off like most of my mornings, early. But I was not early to the race. I got…
The Boulder Rez Half Marathon Race was just a primer to get me ready for Challenge Aruba. The timing was perfect to get in the miles before the trek south. I was treating this race much like a “C” race and did very little to prep for it. I did make sure to increase my run…
I signed up for the Fortitude 10k, because I enjoyed the BolderBoulder 10k quite a bit. This was the first year for the Fortitude 10k, so a perfect time to check it out. Little did I know that unexpected records would fall. Lauren and I decided to get a room up in Fort Collins he night before…
To prepare for IRONMAN Boulder, I’ve dedicated the first part of 2017 to MAF training. So far, so good! I’ve kept to my MAF rate of 149-139 for the majority of my training. I’ve been eating good and have even lost nearly 10 pounds, getting me closer to my race weight. So thing are going…
The BolderBoulder is one of those iconic races that just about everyone has heard of. As a mater of fact I’ve even worked on a commercial for the BolderBoulder in the past. But to be honest I didn’t really know much about it. I was surprised to find out it was only a 10k. Never the less I…
After my 20 mile run, I was feeling really good. Unstoppable, like this marathon would be no problem. Unfortunately, that’s not how I was feeling after 22 miles. While I made it through all 22 miles, and without incident, my body was not entirely happy. The last two miles were there hardest. I could not…
Thinking back as to what lead me down the path to run the Colfax Marathon, unveiled a chain of events that I would have never imagined 10 years ago. It was actually about 10 years ago that I changed my life and turned to health and fitness. I woke up one morning looked at my 200…
