Observations of a Mid-Pack-Runner. The Measure of a Run. In 2014, Meb Keflezighi won the Boston Marathon, the first American man to do so in 31 years. Millions watched intently, thrilled and awed by his victory. His winning time? In 2011, Ryan Hall ran the same course in 2:04:58,. The fastest marathon ever run by an American, anywhere. On one hand, winning seems dubious when the time required to do so can vary so much from year to year…. Winds; but again, how much so is impossible to determine. Consi...

Observations of a Mid-Pack-Runner. Who’s Faster – He’s or She’s? Actually, all it really demonstrates, is that. The very fastest men. The very fastest women;. But those are the exceptional individuals, and ‘exceptional’ means just that the ones for whom the rules do not apply. For ordinary folks like us MPRs, the rules do. Or Tirunesh Dibaba’s 14:11:15 in the 5K? For this dog, in fact, that’s one of the joys of the sport. None of your old ‘boys on this side, girls on that side,’ gym class segre...A runne...

Observations of a Mid-Pack-Runner. Life is big, and life is complicated. Running is simple: one foot in front of the other, as quickly as you like, for as long as you like. Everything else is optional. Adult human life is deeply entwined with others – whether job or family, neighbors or government, or just trying to establish a place for yourself in a crowded world of not-enough-of-everything most humans spend an overwhelming proportion of their time trying to satisfy others. As an MPR you decide today.

Sole Searching: November 2013

Friday, November 22, 2013. Pass Mountain 50K and Beyond. Pass Mountain is part of Aravaipa Racing's Winter Desert Series, put on by the Coury brothers, Nick and Jamil. Both seasoned runners, their race direction is a well-oiled machine and this race course was top notch. I recommend putting this race on your radar. It was a hoot. i also recommend drinking 4 or 5 Kilt Raiser Scottish Ales at Four Peaks in the Phoenix Airport before your flight. Now, it's on to winter. Start of the course. April 2015, Dese...

Thursday, November 6, 2014. Celebrating Old-School at Indian Creek Fifties. Celebrating is a great thing. The connotation of the word "celebrate" is typically positive, but it can also reference "pain". How? I'm going to give the signal to start the race by hitting this rock, with this pick axe." "Sherpa" John Lacroix grabs hold of the handle and adds, "Fun for me. Not for you.". Enjoy a few photos of the race, all courtesy of Human Potential Running. One of the rock features on the course. Jan 2015, Win...

Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Deep in the bowels of winter in our pocket of Colorado's Western Slope, few trails remain open from December through March, or at the very least are in great running shape.

May, Boulder 10 Mile Ascent, 5th. March, America's Uphill, 50:something, 2nd. Feb, Chris Bove Uphill, 24: something, 1st. July ...

Monday, January 6, 2014. In the Land of Big Foot. I'd run with a camera if I were you. You're in Big Foot country! I look over at Harold, our camp ground host. He's been talking to me for over 30 minutes. My girlfriend and I are in Talimena State Park, 3 days into our New Year's road trip. Yes sir. There are signs of his existence everywhere.". Well, maybe I'll be the one to finally catch him.". You might just be." Harold says in a very serious tone. This isn't that bad. This is what I grew up runnin...
