Grandeur Peak run with Jake and Andrea plus the incomperable Tayte Pollman. Such a beautiful day and a perfect way to end 2017.

I ran 12 races in 2017. I can't really seperate running from racing and can't sustain a long period of just training and no racing. To me, racing is the fun part and the challenge. I suppose it's because I started out in this sport that way and not to get fit, or to lose weight or some other purpose.

My next race will be the SLTC Winter 5k on 1/27 followed by the USATF XC championships in Talahassee.

I've been that way most of my running career (i.e. age 14 till 2 years ago). Now I've done 1 real race in 2.5 years and am enjoying not racing.
