Other entries coming up in the
2010
journal:
once a runner, always a runner? scenes from the Southwest;
winter training and races; and more.
Plus (eventually) photos and
entries from June and July, 2009 that I missed:
more training runs in the
Bighorn Mountains in WY; the Bighorn Mountain Wild & Scenic
Trail Races; runs in the San Juan Mountains near
Silverton, CO; volunteering at the Hardrock Hundred and
Leadville Trail Run; and running the Tahoe Rim Trail 50K.
You can find photos from the 2009 Bighorn, Hardrock, and Tahoe Rim
Trail races and scenery on our
Picasa
site.
