We booked this trip months ago around a single line on the schedule: Rice at Notre Dame, September 12. What had not dawned on me until we were rolling our bags through Denver International Airport was that we would be flying on the 25th anniversary of September 11th.

On Track For a Successful Summer
Sunday I raced my final track meet of the season, and it was a blast. Back in July, I raced my first masters track meet at CU Boulder since my failed comeback attempt last year.

My First Track Meet
Last weekend I competed at the USATF Masters Indoor Track and Field Championships. I took home a couple of medals, but mostly it was an exercise in humility!

Summer Track 2016 PRs
Another summer track season has come and gone and this year I was running with power. Below are my PRs from this year’s events with previous years’ PRs in parentheses: I didn’t focus on any of the sprint events this season and only “raced” the 800m-3,000m, where I mostly saw improvement. One takeaway is that,Continue reading “Summer Track 2016 PRs”
