My Race Day Uber Adventure

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Uber. Safety concerns made me a late adopter, but pricing and convenience won me over. There are still situations when I take a taxi, but I was frustrated when a recent mid-day taxi ride cost twice as much as the return trip via Uber.

Getting Ready To Run 13.1 in Denver

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.
