When you’re in the mountains, EVERY day is FRIDAY.

June 2018 update:  Start of Colorado summer, high hike season – thin air, high peaks.  LOVE LOVE ❤

Finish of one challenge, beginning of a new 12-month goal: 2280 miles, Chicago to LA.  Started my Route 66 Challenge already a week  into June, then skipped 5 run days after Bighorn.  Work, right heel plantar, mentally spent after goal race.  Excuses, we’ve all got ’em.

Sun/heat season.  Journey not a sprint.  Expect to lag behind target all summer, 200 miles/month a hefty challenge.

New places, new faces, new adventures, new tales.  FULL Fall schedule ahead.

Race ReCap:  high-altitude miles, Runoff Runoff Marathon in Creede CO (8800ft elevation)

Marathoning Streak:  55 months

Mileage ReCap:  ended June at 104 miles (56 miles behind GOAL)
