Jane climbing at Shelf Road, Colorado. photo by Keith Ladzinski
Jane in a tree! Near my parents house in Ohio. (December 2009)
Because Jane is an animal when it comes to trail running, she is racing the 25 mile course on Sat and the 10 mile race with me on Sun. It should be a great time. The trail is along side of the Colorado River and it shouldn't be too warm in mid-April.
It's my first race where I haven't tried to finish DAL (dead ass last). In high school, my friends and I would always dress up in cos tums and run charity races to finish last and raise everyone's spirits. This time I will try to compete and not finish last. Since it is my first race, I have no expectations of winning, but I would like to make it the 10 miles and not have any severe knee or back pains. I have been training since the new year and feel good about the distance as I often walk nearly as far to go climbing with a heavy pack.
Get out there and enjoy the almost spring time cause winter is just about over!!!
I am really glad that you have visited my blog.
Thanks and I hope to see and hear from you soon.

Kicking it at our tent city. Jane, Matt and Mark
Jane starting off the race. This was the first leg of each of our 7 mile loops. Each member of the team had to run at least one 7 mile loop and then we challenged ourselves to do as many as we could to rack up the team total miles!
Jane stretching out those legs and hamstrings.
