Pikes Peak Road Runners Full Moon Run
Tuesday, 10/14/08:
The Pikes Peak Road Runners Full Moon Run started near Beckers and Manitou by the ball field. JT and I extended the "long route" for ourselves to 5.2 miles. Man, it is gettin' chilly out there--I better get used to it because I'm not letting up!

Saturday, October 4 - Pikes Peak Red Dress Hash - A-to-A - Dublin House:
Monday, September 29 - DIM hash:
My buddy Charlie, Bill, and Weasel hared the second-to-the-last DIM hash of the 2008 season. We started at the new Trinity Brewing Company, went through portions of Ute Valley Park, and finally ended at Bill's place.
At the first beer stop (we spent quite a while there drinking PBR--until the sun went down to be exact):
Saturday/Sunday - September 27-28 - Cripple Creek Crawl:
Herb Tanzer and I decided to do this "Muddy Buddy" style taking one mountain bike with us. I started out on foot and Herb started on the bike. The objective: Every 9 miles or so, the biker drops the bike and takes off on foot. The previous runner picks up the bike and leap-frogs the runner and so on. This was working well until the front bike tire went flat. Since we weren't with the rest of the group and I had no spare tire, I ditched the bike and ran the rest of the way to Cripple Creek. Herb and I were the only two to run this event. Due to the bike problem, I ended up running a ridiculous ~32 miles. Herb took the wrong way at one point and ran all the way through Victor and up to Cripple Creek. Man, we have issues!
Patched the tire in Cripple Creek the following morning and rode back with the rest of the gang. Awesome time!

Racing and hiking weekend...
Friday, September 19:
This was V.I.P. night at the new Fujiyama Restaurant located a few doors north of their old location. Sonterra Grill bought Minji's old location for expansion and she moved to a larger building--win-win for both establishments. Public opening for the new Fujiyama was last Saturday, September 20.
Olivia and Matt (deer in headlights):
JQRC runners:
Homemade baked goods:
Me and Carla. She was the top female runner for this race (time: ~1:35:00):

Look, a "short bus":

Saturday, September 20:
After much partying on Friday night (Fujiyama and V-Bar), I hit the road for Buena Vista--destined to run the half marathon leaving from the city park at 8 AM. I blew into BV at around 3 AM and slept in the back of the 4Runner just outside the city park.
The next morning we were shuttled 13 miles into the mountains. The race ended back in the city park. This course was not too difficult (not much uphill)--but was very scenic! I ran this one in 1:33:00.

Sunday morning I woke up with a cold. Despite feeling like total crap, I crawled out of bed in the early AM (like 4 AM) and met with a group of friends to hike up to the top of Pikes Peak. We weren't setting any land-speed records on this hike--but we did make it up there shortly after lunch. We arranged to have vans and beers waiting for us at the top.
