Way back in April, I blogged about trying to make exercise fun after reading the book "Play as if Your Life Depends on It." I also have blogged about kedging or setting goals to pull yourself forward during those times when you've lost the wind in your sails. Today we met our kedge and it was a lot of fun.
We ran/walked the "Fans on the Field" 10k (6.2 miles) which is held to benefit a wonderful charity: the National Sports Center for the Disabled (
http://www.nscd.org/). The race starts near the Bronco's football stadium, now called Sports Authority Field at Mile High. You then run to the Pepsi Center where you run inside around the Avalanche Hockey Rink. Next you go to Coors Field and run along the warning track along the 3rd base side. You finish back at Mile High running along the field.
We did okay. It was hot, we were dehydrated, but we had a blast. We ran into several people from our Saturday morning running group. We will be doing this run again. It is a great cause.
