Snowy. That’s my race report. Thanks for coming! Ok, maybe a little bit more info here … Back in 2009, this race was my first ever 26.2 miles. My wife was pregnant with our 4th child, I was working at a startup in a Director role, and following a training plan meticulously. That included 2am…

The Colfax Marathon race weekend is one of those times I remember why I love running. It’s the 2nd largest race in Colorado, but still has a small feel. I saw so many people I knew and many faces I recognized. Being part of this event feels more like a family reunion … in a…
