    Running into 2012 with the New York Road Runners

    New years eve always sucks. You always end up getting very excited and concerned over having the “perfect” new years, and being in the best spot right at midnight.. and inevitably, it never happens. At least for me, in many past years, although I’ve been in good places I’m always just short of the absolute…

  • Sasha DiGiulian climbs Pure Imagination 5.14d

    Great video today from Adidas, of Sasha DiGiulian’s insanely hard first female ascent of Pur Imagination, in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge. This is actually where I grew up climbing too – although definitely not doing routes like this.. Sasha DiGiulian. “Pure Imagination” 5.14d (9a). from Adidas Outdoor on Vimeo.

    Finally, I’m wrapping up my torrent of posts about the marathon. Brightroom photography does the photos of the race, and although they didn’t very many good ones of me, they did get one half decent one.

  • GPS Tracking the 2011 NYC Marathon

    While running the 2011 ING NYC Marathon, I wore my Garmin Forerunner 310XT GPS training watch. In addition to constantly giving me my pace, distance and HR, it also keeps a complete track of my progress, and allows me to keep track online. Here’s my GPS track and statistics from this year’s marathon…

  • Videoblog: On the Finish Line of the 2011 NYC Marathon

    A few thoughts moments after finishing the NYC Marathon in 03:53. I ran with my Apple iPhone 4 in a n armband, although I didn’t use it to listen to music or track anything.

  • Marathon Prep: The Gear

    Marathon Prep: The Gear

    I’m going to be running the NYC Marathon tomorrow, and in preparation, here’s a brief rundown of the gear that I’ll be using. Although running is a relatively gear-sparse sport, there’s still a good amount of thought that goes into each thing I carry with me – which I’ll need to lug for every step…

  • Accidental Half Marathon? Hello 4-Mile Canyon.

    After training for about a month at 9,000 feet in Telluride, Colorado, running in Boulder at about 5,000 feet felt great. I initially intended to go out for a quick 5K jog, but got caught up in the good vibes of Boulder Canyon and 4-Mile Canyon and ended up hacking out a half marathon. Kick…

  • Running the Mountain Village 10K

    Whew, after spending the better part of the summer at sea level, coming up to the rocky mountains at 9000 feet to train is a big adjustment. As I’ve transitioned over from life at sea to life in the mountains, I’ve started to train a bit more. The Tri State Tough Mudder is coming up,…

  • 10 Mile Trail Run in Leadville Around Turquoise Lake

    Today after WFR class, my friend Amber and I took a beautiful 10mile trail run around Turquoise Lake, just outside of Leadville, Colorado. Amber is a three time finisher of the Leadville Trail 100 race, and it was interesting running with her to hear about the world of ultra running. Taking it slow and long…

Professional and amateur outdoor adventure athletes from the Vail Valley and around the world will converge upon the mountains and rivers of Vail to compete in eight sports and 23 disciplines including: x-country,…

  • Running the Leadville Fish Hatchery 5km Trail Race

    Today for our day off from Wilderness First Responder training, a group of us got together to go into the town of Leadville, Colorado to run the Fish Hatchery 5k trail race. This was the first smaller community race I’ve run in a while – but it was by far the HARDEST 5k I’ve ever…

  • Running the 2011 Bolder Boulder 10km Road Race

    Today in the Memorial Day tradition, I ran the Bolder Boulder 10km Road Race. It’s a great race through the streets of Boulder, Colorado, giving a complete tour of the town. I’ve been running this race since college, and every year it’s great. The entire town comes out to watch, everybody has fun, and the…

    Video – Alone on the Wall: Alex Honnold

    Lots of video posts lately. During my years in college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, I rock climbed a bunch – but always either bouldering close to the ground, or roped up. However, I had a small group of friends who would frequently “free solo”, and climb without a rope. On a number…

  • Nike+ to be integrated into gym equipment

    It’s great that the industry is finally getting on board with the Apple+Nike tech partnership, and starting to work the technology into gym equipment. I’ve been using the Nike+ situation since day one, and it’s motivating to have as much data as possible available to me when I run.. both at the gym, and out…
