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 … Continue reading Westminster Trail Half Marathon – Endurance Race Series
Snow Joke Half Marathon – Seeley Lake, Montana
If you'll recall, a few weeks ago, I outlined an aggressive plan for my 2016 running calendar, culminating in my first (now) three marathons. This past weekend, I checked off the second race and first half marathon of the year with the Snow Joke Half Marathon in Seeley Lake, Montana. This was a great motivation … Continue reading Snow Joke Half Marathon – Seeley Lake, Montana
3 Lessons Learned From My First 3 Half Marathons
Late last year, I set a goal to run a Half Marathon. After completing a few 5k and 10k races, I was hungry for more. So, this Spring, I accomplished that goal by running the Yellowstone Half Marathon. I wasn't competitive for any medals, but I did accomplish my goal of finishing. Following that race, … Continue reading 3 Lessons Learned From My First 3 Half Marathons
Montana Half Marathon — Billings
I’m tired. Still exhausted today with a sore knee from a lot of pavement running in the past few weeks. Making the transition from the trails to harder surfaces should have happened a little sooner in training. That being said, 4 races in 9 days! Time for a Montana Half Marathon, or two. Last weekend … Continue reading Montana Half Marathon — Billings

Keep on Running – Yellowstone Half Marathon
Keep your eye on the prize. Make a goal, then set out to accomplish it! Last summer was rough after getting t-boned and totaling my pickup. I was on pace to do some serious exploring and run several races across Montana, but a back injury and physical therapy kinda placed those goals on hold. My … Continue reading Keep on Running – Yellowstone Half Marathon
Falling Over Hurdles and Running My First 13.1
In seventh grade, I ran a 6:30 mile on a chilly, early Spring morning around the block in practice. Later that year, I swore to never run in public again as I tripped over (more than one) hurdle at the High School District Track Meet at Greene County Tech. In the summer of 2010, I … Continue reading Falling Over Hurdles and Running My First 13.1
Setting my running goals for 2015
Last year I became a bit more dedicated to my running interests. Living in Helena provides plenty of opportunity for my feet to hit the pavement (and dirt). Even though Helena is the capitol city for Montana, traffic is relatively light and I've laced up the shoes after work and have run from one end of … Continue reading Setting my running goals for 2015
