Colfax Marathon warm up

This weekend I am going to run in the Greenland Trail 50K.  Not that I would run 50K though.  There’s actually a 25K and an 8 Mile run.  I’m going to do the 25K which is about 16 miles, on trail, with altitude.  I was thinking of wearing a back pack full of rocks just for fun also.   I was going to run this as a race, but my left quad (I love saying quad.  Quad, quad, quad) has been hurting the last couple of days, so if it’s not better by Saturday, I’m going to take it a bit easy.  My marathon is 4 weeks away, so I don’t want to be doing anything stupid.  But then again, I’ve never been one to be real smrt  smart.

How do you like my baseball prediction so far?  2 ways you can look at it.  The Tigers suck and they are in last, or the Tigers are just getting warmed up and they are only 4 1/2 games back of first.  I’ll go with the latter.

I never did do my 6 word memoir.  I’m such a slacker and I apologize for my slackification.  I was thinking of this;                                                                                      

                                 “I used to be wild and crazy, now I’m just mild and lazy”

I think that’s slightly more than 6, so I’m still working on it.

I know weather is crazy all over the country, but this is ridiculous.  This past Tuesday in Denver, it was 85 degrees!  Then on Wednesday, it was 35 and snowing.  It’s global warming mixed in with the new ice age.

About Dave

I was diagnosed with MS about 8 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 6 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 7 marathons in 5 years and 18 half marathons.

    Cool! Thank you Liz. I’m looking forward to running The Colfax. I did the half last year, and I’m excited to do the full this time on the new route.
