I found a picture of mom with us at the St Louis Marathon a few years ago.  Mom and dad stopped by, in St Louis, on the way back from Florida.  She looks good….maybe even good enough to run a block or two with us . 

Winter cold, ugh.  Now that I am old, Arizona looks better all the time in the winter.  Time to give the treadmill a workout until it gets a little warmer.  The following picture is of me running the Boulder Bolder a couple of years ago.  Because my qualifying time was great, due to my 1/2 [...]

Ran a 4 miler today and felt pretty good.  The weather is perfect right now to run outside.  Very cool with warm sunshine.  A Colorado trademark and awesome it is!  Lucy ran with me also, and she did pretty good.  Usually she poops out after a couple of miles but maybe she is getting in [...]
