It’s been a long time since I ran the final stage of the 2008 GORE-TEX TransRockies Run; however, it’s a day that will long stand out in my mind for so many reasons. It was a day I raced my butt off, a day I celebrated with friends new and old, and a day [...]

2008 GORE-TEX TransRockies Run – Day 5 (original post)

2008 GORE-TEX TransRockies Run – Day 4
