On Saturday morning, I woke up early and joined Jenny in a birthday run. We ran around her place, near downtown Denver. It was a Ghetto style run, but also featured a long stretch adjacent to the Platte River. (What a treat that was!). We ran for about 45 minutes, a great way to start the day. (more…)
As a tribute to the struggle for human rights, I decided to go for a long run (and struggle myself!). The weather was beautiful, with a bit of snow still covering the ground. I ran for just under 7 miles, at a fairly decent pace. I came back home covered in sweat, but happy knowing I fended off a day of lethargy!
This training run also marks the start of my training to do the Rim to Rim of the Grand Canyon. I have made reservations for a campsite on the North end and plan to run on May 22nd. I will need to run over 20 miles, and survive greater than 10,000 feet of elevation change in one day.
On Saturday, Emma, Rachel, Dennis & I climbed at the Pantywall. There were crowds (Thanksgiving Weekend), but we all had fun regardless.
The weather was great, a bit chilly in the morning, but warming up perfectly for the afternoon. We did all the moderate bolted climbs worth doing (more…)
I had to make a second trip to the Third Flatiron, so I could lead the odd pitches of the East Face route. Earlier this summer, I did the even ones and was robbed of the true summit by an afternoon summer storm.
When Kris suggested an outing up the famed slab, I was all too excited. Woo-hoo! (more…)
It was very cold Sunday morning, but that didn’t stop Emma & I from meeting Steve, Juin, and Kris in Golden, CO for some sport climbing!
