Race for the Cure


Running isn't as bad as it used to be (when I wasn't fit). It was a chilly morning in Denver, but a perfect temperature for a running race (any kind of race). Forget zone 2. A race is a race. Almost 24 minutes, that's half the length of a crit. Not knowing where the finish was made it seem much longer (my imagination was quite active). Worth getting up early to do. It was heart-warming to see how many people were there in support of breast-cancer research (~64,000).

A hike in Evergreen, hot chocolate and Beau Jo's pizza with friends completed the cloudy, rainy day. Tomorrow it's supposed to snow.

The next activity to incorporate into off-season training will be trail running. Gotta be careful in Boulder, though, the mountain lions are taking over!
