Happy New Year!
Hello Colorado Runners! I hope all of you had a great holiday season.
For many of us, winter is a down time in the training schedule. The weather in Colorado tends to necessitate that for some.
However, there are still a few races throughout the state that can help you stay motivated this winter. Two of those races are a part of the 2010 Colorado Runner Racing Series. In this issue, we have interviews from all the winners of the 2009 Series, followed by the 2010 Racing Series schedule. Look for that starting on page 12.
Some of you may be in taper mode for one of the large winter marathons that take place across the country. Most of you will be heading down to Phoenix for the PF Chang’s Rock ‘N Roll Marathon. Others will travel across the country to Orlando for the Disney World Marathon (some might even be crazy enough to try the Goofy Double). Finally, a few of you might be heading to Houston for the Houston Marathon. The Half Marathon is the USA Championships, so a few of Colorado’s elite runners will definitely be there. Good Luck to all of you!!
Happy trails!
