The last two weeks in photos

3 Jan

I’ve been a little absent on here, but that’s because I went up to Laramie, Wyoming, and then enjoyed the rest of my break from work. But I did happen to take a bunch of photos, so it wasn’t a complete wash.

Beer tasting, Fort Collins, Laramie

26 Dec

For the Christmas holiday, I flew out to Denver to be with my family in Laramie. Evan picked me up at the airport on Thursday after a packed flight. We headed straight to Fort Collins to visit a few breweries before we drove up to Laramie.

Sometimes it hurts

29 Nov

Sometimes a run can turn into the opposite of what had been planned. Thursday’s run turned into exactly that.

Half marathoning

20 Sep

I’ll stop talking about it, but first I guess I ought to say that I did pretty well in the Asheville half marathon on Saturday. I ran it in 1:41:55 and placed 140 out of 1288 finishers. I’m glad I took it easy last week and had been staying on top of my training. It really helped. I was happy to have Sara and my mom with me at the finish line. Sara actually took this photo, which is a lot better than the official race photo of me. I enjoyed running with Scott for about half of the race, and I was constantly worried that he was about to pass me for the second half.

I had a great weekend overall, if you don’t count the redneck with a swastika tattoo across his back on the four wheeler with a rifle in his lap that decided to take a joyride on our property up in Balsam Grove. Yep.

Heading to NC

17 Sep

Sara and I are headed up to North Carolina this weekend. I’m running in the Asheville half marathon tomorrow morning at 7:30, and we’ll stay up in Balsam Grove and spend some time with my parents. I’m really excited for the race and ready to see the mountains again.
