A few pictures from yesterday's race

90 Days to Paris.

As promised, here a few snapshots from yesterday's race:

An information kiosk with Cheyenne Mountain behind it. For those that don't know, Cheyenne Mountain is where NORAD has a military base buried a few miles inside the mountain. They often show the entrance in disaster movies. It showed up in the movie "War Games" for those with a good memory.



A shot of the crowd at the finish line. By the time I arrived, a lot of people (the really really fast people) had already left. Still, a good group enjoying the well deserved hot chocolate and cider.




Yours Truly - Fat Boy After the Run!


Training update: Today was another awesomely gorgeous day for a run. Clear blue skies and the temperature went up to about +10c (50 F). I ran in shorts and a tee shirt - not too shabby for January! Despite the lingering fatigue from the previous day, I managed a solid run. 11.1k (6.94 Miles) in 1:05:59. A very respectable pace given the soreness that still resided in my legs from yesterday's grueling climbs. Playlist: John Mayer's new album Battle Studies, and a few songs from an older album, Continuum.

  2. Thanks, Tricia! I think you are the first "follower" who is not a friend or family, so that is very exiting! I hope you enjoy this!
