We Finished the Colfax Half Marathon
The spousal entity and I (and a few friends) managed to limp across the finish line at the Colfax Half Marathon in Denver yesterday. I won’t say how we did, but we crossed the line with some of the best marathoners around. Okay, that’s probably because the half marathon and full marathon shared the last few hundred yards of the course.
I will say that people who run for fun oviously have some strange brain chemistry going on. I think we’ll be living on Motrin for a few days…

Hats off to you and the missus. I probably would have been looking for the bus after mile 1.
We are starting a get-back-into-shape regimen. We’re going camping up in the MN Boundary Water area the middle of August. The portaging will probably kill us if we don’t get in better shape. The week before we go camping is our town festival, and they usually have a 5K race; maybe that will be a goal to shoot for this summer.

Yeah, they blocked off the street, so the buses couldn’t get through, or it would have been a serious consideration. We were happy to finish. My bride wants to do it again next year, and I might, but only if we do more training. I can barely walk up the stairs today.
