And they’re off! Melissa and Will are a couple of 0.82 mile laps into the Palmer Lake Death Race 24 Hour run.
The second BOMB CYCLONE of the spring came and went in less than 24 hours.
Video test.
That’s not the way down.
Snowshoeing the Never Summer Mountains
In honor of The Barkley Marathons taking place this weekend my son and wife baked Barkley themed cupcakes, with “easy” buttons and the yellow gate.
Good thing I was able to tell what the date was by glancing at my wrist.
My friend Brett and I did a ski race/costume contest yesterday at Crested Butte. I skied uphill, he skied downhill. There were probably 100 individuals, but only two relay teams. So our 1st place finish wasn’t quite as impressive as it sounds. Photo by Brett’s daughter Claire.
This kid just registered for his first marathon (not counting the 2 ultramarathons he has run). This morning I asked if he wanted to run in mud or no mud. He chose mud.
Madness
I made a slightly different kind of video about my run to ski adventure.
We finally got enough snow to ski on, so I turned it into a fun excursion last night.
Good morning.
Yesterday was Colorado State University’s annual Little Shop of Physics. I took The Boy and we had a good time. Video.
22 mile Quad Rock training run yesterday. The fresh 1″ of mushy snow on top of the existing ice kept things interesting.

Seen on my run
With Horsetooth Mountain Open Space still closed after last week’s mountain lion attack (the runner wasn’t anybody I know) we had to move our 22 mile Quad Rock training run to Blue Sky trail yesterday.

For a bit of extra motivation I had some fun with last night’s run (music NSFW).
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to run for 24 hours? Take a look at this video I made of Melissa and Will doing the 24 hour run at Across The Years in Phoenix, AZ a few weeks ago.
