Ok, I’ll try to share this experience without sounding like I’m complaining. Go back and read my recap of the Happy Camper Fun Run, first. I share this post because I’m looking for some clarification. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know. I’m not blaming the runners or judging their abilities. Lots of people were confused […]
The day finally came when I signed up last-minute for a 50-mile run. I had planned on a long run of 42 miles over the weekend as part of training. But on Friday morning, I found a local 50-miler with spots still available. So I did what any good trail ultrarunner does, I jumped on […]
Running in the Mile High City can take your breath away, especially if you haven’t been in town long. Run for 26.2 miles and it’s sure to be a good day! 2018 was the second year for me to run the Colfax Marathon, which claims to be Denver’s only marathon. The race takes place in the […]
2018 has been off to a pretty good start with my goal to hone in more on longer distances. For the most part, I’ve had a few good long runs every month. Like Arches Ultra 50k in Moab, a self-supported 50k on Cherry Creek Trail in the south Denver area, and Desert Rats 50k in Fruita, CO. May brought a gentler […]
2018 was off to such a great start. My blogging was consistent, as was training for my first 100k. Then, life stepped in with a hold my beer and watch this. Of course, I’ve joked about turning 30, wanting to finally distance myself from those 20-year-olds. And that travel and running take up too much […]
Hook me up with a run in the desert and I’m there. Make it a long run with great views and aid stations, and I am golden. My second desert ultramarathon of the year took place on April 14th near Grand Junction, Colorado at the Desert Rats Trail Running Festival 50k. I completed the 50k distance […]
Can we just usher this #NeverEndingWinter out the door and bring on Summer? It’s been a long winter in many parts of the country as ranching friends in Montana are just now thawing out. Although we haven’t had much winter in Denver, I am ready for the warm weather to arrive and stay so I […]
One of my favorite events of the year! I think this team is awesome and the Ragnar Relay events are always a fun experience (even if that means staying up all night in a 15-passenger van). Read more about my Team Beef adventures here. 190 miles. 29 hours 46 minutes. 12 runners. Two vans. One […]
I think it goes without question if you’ve followed my material for very long, that I am passionate about advocating for the voice of farmers and encouraging others involved in agriculture to join the conversations. While speaking at various agriculture meetings or organization events, I sometimes get blank stares from those farmer and rancher types […]
There is so much more to agriculture than simply farming. I plan to feature individuals who play a part in that as I continue this week with my month-long series highlighting the diversity of Agriculture. Today we hear from Daren Williams with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Daren did a little digging to find his […]
