I DID IT!! My watch wasn’t working right and they haven’t posted the results, but my final time was somewhere around 8 hours and 45 minutes. Tweaked my knee at mile 11, had to slow way down on ascent and descent. Flats still felt ok though and I managed to finished strong!

First long run in a few weeks. Target was 3 hours. I made it 12.5 miles. If I would have continued, I would have finished a half marathon <3:15. 30 minutes faster than my half marathon time just last fall.

Won’t make QR50 this year, but I’ll be in good shape for QR25!

Small black dog wearing a green harness, sitting on a rock on a rocky hillside.

Picture taken from the top of a hill, looking down with a city in the background. The hillside has a lot of rocks and bushes - some rocks are painted white.

Easy climb up to the A with Berry. Foot is feeling much better! Feeling pretty good about the upcoming race! #runsky #quadrock2025

Got up super early to get my run in this morning. I'm digging the peace and quiet of the early morning runs. ☮️ 🔇 My phone doesn't take great night pictures, but the stars were absolutely glorious!

Was warm enough to take Berry with me for the first time in a couple of weeks and she had a blast! 😍 Intended to go for a long run, but I've been pushing it this week and my legs were pretty heavy.

LOTS of wind this morning. But I persevered and was rewarded with a beautiful view of the sunrise. <3

Forgot to take a pic on my run this afternoon, but it was really beautiful. It was sunny and the snow was glistening! Some idiot had written MAGA in the snow and I gleefully erased it as I ran. :D

Sunrise just peaking over the horizon when we finished. Came back to a full parking lot at 7am in 16° weather! We're all a little crazy out here in Colorado. ;)
