Yesterday's Slacker Half

     This was my last race for a while.  I am tired and need a break. It was beautiful but it did get quite hot.  I met 3 other Run 2016 in 2016 runners who were from Highlands Ranch, CO, which was cool.

Waiting at the start




Representing at the Slacker Half Marathon in beautiful Colorado. We ran through a ski resort, past mountains, waterfalls, (rumor has it) a bear, a railroad station and ended in a cute little mountain community. We started at 10,660" and ended at 8,525"

The men's winner : Andrew Miller (Salomon Running) wins the 2016 Western States Endurance Run in 15:39:36. At 20 years old, he's the youngest men's winner ever at the race.

I can't even imagine running 100 miles.....in the mountains.....in the heat.....at that pace.
