The Flatirons

Running options are still limited but still awesome. It was a work week with runs around the Flatirons

Took a break on a beautiful Wednesday morning run up alongside the 1st Flatiron to watch some rock climbers



Thursday Leadville Chuck and I did a loop from Cragmoor TH to Bear Peak and over to South Boulder Peak. 8 miles and 3,500'. Impressive - except in Colorado. We now joke that regardless of what you accomplish someone is besting you at that moment. Today we were passed twice by Homie - granted he is a local legend who just fell short of trying to set the record of the fastest summit of all 55 of Colorado's 14'ers (currently a little less than 11 days). We also were passed by a guy maybe 70 (we were just finishing, to our defense)
