Runner's Itch

After being stagnate on my running/work-out schedule and having too much downtime, I have decided to register for a race. Obviously, I will officially register for the race when I have the funds to do so. In the meantime, I will begin training for a 10k in Boulder. I think that is a fair start for my out-of-shape legs. I have been going on long walks lately, but now it's time to up the ante. Here's a link to the race info. If you're interested in coming out to Denver that weekend and running alongside me in Boulder, then let me know.

It took me some time to find the right race during the right time. Many of the races around Colorado are marathons or half marathons through the mountains. I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment yet. As I was searching for the right race, I decided to check out Denver's Track and Field Club Web site, thinking they would have the most available information on future races in the area. Boy, did I find some interesting information and was a little surprised by the club's members.

Does anyone else feel even more out of shape after seeing this home page? Looks like 'Ol George could kick my ass in a 10k. Glad to know that gram and gramps will be in the better wave than me in Boulder. Crap.

I'm telling you, the people in Colorado are freakishly fit and very intimidating...no matter what age.
