If there's anyone in Colorado that knows a thing or two about running - trail running, in particular, it's Gina Lucrezi.  Lucrezi has immersed herself in the running and sport community both by profession and location since her younger years.  Growing up in Pennsylvania, Lucrezi dreamed of living among the mountains and thin air.  Fast-forward a decade and you'll find an accomplished trail runner with an impressive resume in the sports industry living her dream in Carbondale, Colorado.

When the weather gets bad, some runners consider treadmills. Caitlin Chock pitched us on this piece regarding Brad Hudson, one of my favorite coaches, and his suggestions on training on the treadmill. 

The MilestonePod attaches to your running or walking shoe to provide detailed activity information and to help you know the proper time to replace your shoes.  The best part about it, it’s simple! No buttons to push, no battery to recharge, just lace the Pod on your shoe and go. The always on, always ready device is tracking every step you take, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Love was in the air Sunday morning at Wash Park as hundreds of participants came out in the gloomy and cold weather to take part in the Valentine's Day 5K.  The race was the fourth installment of BKB Limited's RUNDENVER Race Series, and proved to be a hit, regardless of the weather, as runners and walkers alike took to the classic Wash Park route, and then celebrated at the post-race festivities that included awards, food and warm beverages for all.

Simon Gutierrez was in a celebratory mood as he crossed the finish line Sunday at the third annual Super Half Marathon and Game Day 5K in Colorado Springs.

We don’t think much about our bones until something breaks, but as with most health issues, prevention is key. Bone mineral density (BMD) is one of several indicators of how susceptible bones are to fracture, and it is measured using Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). A DXA scan measures three components of body composition: bone mass, fat mass, and lean mass, making it not only the most accurate for BMD measurement but also for body fat percentage. Diagnosis of low bone mass is based upon age and gender comparisons using “T or Z scores” which are calculated by the DXA software.

The wind was the topic of the day on Sunday morning as hundreds of participants converged on Harlow Platts Community Park in Boulder for the Fast and Flurry-ous Cross Country 4 Mile, hosted by the Boulder Running Company.

You may recognize Paige Siemers better by her maiden name: Paige Higgins.  Paige, a recent newlywed to fellow top runner Chris Siemers, was happily married on August 31, 2013, and thus has a name that others will have to get used to seeing on the top of the results pages across Colorado, and the country.
