4 Days To Go...
This is it! The Colorado Colfax Half-Marathon!
(From the website - http://www.coloradocolfaxmarathon.org/portal/)
I’ll be running it at the very early hour of 6:00AM. Remember that I am a swing shifter and, yes – 6:00 AM is extremely early for me!
I’m on the taper now. 2.50 miles tomorrow. 1.50 or so on Friday. Saturday is a rest/psyche up day (I will have to go get the race packetand see what the Expo offers). Sunday morning is the race.
This is a fairly good-sized race in the 3rd or 4th year. There were 2,000 participants in last year’s race. An email returned to me after I asked for the number of registrants told me, “Registration amounts have exceeded last year.”
I think it will be interesting!
I am debating whether or not to carry a camera with me! After all, I will be carrying some foldable cash, some Cliff’s shot blocks and there is room for other. I will not carry a cell this time.
What? Oh that. I anticipate bringing it in under 2:30. I really just want the finisher’s medal!
ASIDE –
Thanks everyone for your support! What a great group of friends and fellow bloggers! When you feel that life kicks you in the (well, you know what I mean…) then you can get back up, look it right in the eye and say, “No ifs, ands or butts, please!”

Enjoy it and have fun! Resting the days before is crucial!
Good luck! And rest up. You'll have a great race.
Just finish..is this the same guy who did the post after the 10k?? :) Nah.. We want a PR!
Thanks for dropping by in my running blog! I am sorry that one is written in Italian... it's because I wanted to make it more focused on my city-region.
I am really glad you want to link me from here! I have really MANY blogs, you decide which one you wish to link lol. Anyways stemcellgeek.blogspot.com really functions as my homepage, a crossway to all my blogs and internet life!
I am really really gratefull I got in touch with you as well as with Adam and Dr. Monte, you are really changing the way I perceive priorities and training.
Yesterday I ran for 1 h and 30 mins! For me it's just incredible!!! Ciao!
Personally, I say no camera. There's no time for photography when you're trying to burn up the course!
That said, I may take a camera when I do a 4-mile race through the Memphis Zoo next week. I'll be walking, primarily, and will have time to snap the animals!
Go Charlie go!
Good Luck Charlie. I know you'll do great!!
