JV's UpHill Adventures: Sep 5, 2014

http://jeffvalliere.blogspot.com/2014_09_05_archive.html

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. Its the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells 'CAN'T', but you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper, 'can'. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are." unknown. Friday, September 5, 2014. Thursday, 09/04/14 Buchanan/Pawnee Loop. 6:26:44 (including 20-25 minutes of stops). Once on the pass, I was quite relieved and eager to finish o...

Rocky Mountain Raider: May Is Done

http://rockymountainraider.blogspot.com/2015/05/may-is-done.html

Sunday, May 31, 2015. Well, that was a wet month! Went to the Flatirons Running event with Kara Goucher. She is obviously better and more used to taking photos then me. I had an English class with her at CU back in '95 - neither one of us could remember what it was other than the fact that we hated it. Got to meet and run with Meb Keflezighi also. Pretty cool. His shakeout run was at 7:20 pace. I could obviously crush him with my stature and girth, if I could catch him! June 1, 2015 at 8:30 AM. Ah, that ...

Rocky Mountain Raider: Lots Of Green

http://rockymountainraider.blogspot.com/2015/06/lots-of-green.html

Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Coming from a non-running background, this is perhaps the most consistent period of running I've ever done, so I'm hoping it pays off for my summer goals. I know they are pretty lofty, but you might as well aim high! Photos from some of the runs, peaks, and secret spots we are camping follow. Looking down Skywalker Couloir on S. Arapaho - a easy climb on the peak. This is the real Olympic Torch from the L.A. Games! June 25, 2015 at 9:43 AM. That is quite a chunk of vert man. 12/5/...

Rocky Mountain Raider: September 2014

http://rockymountainraider.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 17, 2014. LaSportiva Bushido Trail Shoe Review - With Photos. LaSportiva Bushido Trail Shoe Review - With Photos. I received a pair of La Sportiva Bushidos. Back at the beginning of June, but am only getting around to writing a review now because I wanted to put enough miles on them to make sure my review was informed and honest. I don't run for them, and so my review is purely my own opinion – I get no kick-backs. Weight: 10 oz (depends on size). Sole: FriXion XT sticky rubber.

Rocky Mountain Raider: Tushar 93K Race

http://rockymountainraider.blogspot.com/2015/08/tushar-93k-race.html

Friday, August 7, 2015. Last Saturday, way out in the Tushar Mountains, was the Tushar 93K race. Part of the US Skyrunning Ultra series, this inaugural race came just 13 days after the Power of Four 50K in Aspen. After the Power of Four my quads had some pretty good DOMS, and I really didn't do much running. A couple days of rest and the DOMS wore off and I was able to run a couple good runs on the local hills. I felt fairly good about the upcoming race and was excited to get on the road. More views of t...

Rocky Mountain Raider: March 2015

http://rockymountainraider.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 20, 2015. Spring - Training Starts. Spring - Training Starts. So, to start it off, I did the M5 challenge today. I've done this before, and it is always a killer. Run (hike) up and down Mt. Morrison's southeast ridge 5 times for a total of around 10,000' and 20 miles. It went well, but I could certainly tell that I didn't have my climbing legs as I have done more road stuff over the winter. Long's Peak from the summit of Mt. Morrison. I got it from the magazine Like the Wind. I had a good f...

Well, my book " The Best Front Range Trail Runs. Has finally hit the market, and I've noticed it at a few stores around town.
