Not “bad” meaning “bad but “bad” meaning “good”. ~ Run-D.M.C. During my training for Leadville (the second time), I learned to appreciate any run and after a run that was less than stellar, to tell myself, “There is no such thing as a bad run.” Now this isn’t 100% accurate (Rach even pointed out, “What about the runs where people get hit by cars… or eaten by bears?”),...

Dave’s a mess. ~ Johnny Upton Since the demise of NYC, I have not been the best/most consistent runner of all time. Frankly, I have been taking a bit of a break – particularly from structured, “must-do” training. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been out there, in all kinds of wacky weather, logging fun miles.

The Dash likes. ~ Dash Parr 1:26:50, 8th Overall, 3rd in Age Group PR* *Full disclosure, this was my first half marathon, so a PR was inevitable. I had high hopes for this past week’s race (That DAM Half Marathon) and I really wanted to throw down a good time and solid effort. Fortunately, my bod cooperated and turned a tough course into a fantastic time (both clock and experience). The day started with an early alarm to get to the...
