How could a race that took me through the Denver Zoo and a fire station, had a big expo and a great after-party leave me feeling so meh? That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out as I put together my Denver Colfax Half Marathon race recap.
As I runfessed, my official finish time was 1:56:03 including my tiger stop.
Did the grey drizzly weather and the mile-high altitude steal my joy?
How is it time for our monthly Runfessions already? Maybe it’s a good thing the last Friday of the month came so early, since I’ve got plenty to runfess already. It always feels good to bare my sole and take a deep cleansing breath before moving on to a new month.
I blogfess I didn’t make a new image for May, because I like these flowers.
Link up your own runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice and join the Friday Five link up at Running On Happy and Fairytales and Fitness. Next weekend Deborah and I will be kicking off summer with the June Ultimate Coffee Date, so make sure you join us.
This week was all about getting ready to run 13.1 miles in Denver–and surviving the monsoon weather that got stuck over the mid-Atlantic. I was bummed to see rain in the forecast for Denver too, but at least it was supposed to clear in up time for the Denver Colfax Half Marathon on Sunday.
I love the rainbow racing strips logo–it seems sort of retro.
This week was all about figuring out Scooby and getting into a new routine. Luckily I was able to leave work early most days, so he didn’t have to spend too much time in his crate. We also had gorgeous weather–perfect for walking or lounging on the patio with a Nylabone. 🙂
I made it to the Garden Center this weekend,
so those planters aren’t empty anymore!
Is there a saying opposite to “The grass is always greener on the other side“? One that captures the gut reaction of being glad you’re not in another person’s situation even if they might not have it so bad? Driving home on a recent rainy day I felt sorry for a runner out in the elements, but then realized she might be enjoying herself more than I was. That was the genesis of my Ode To a Rainy Day Runner.
