Other entries coming up in the 2010 journal:
fall and winter training and races,
stories from Arizona, filling in my journaling gap from
March and April, and whatever else motivates
me to write.
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 and 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.
