#slackerhalfmarathon

Me and @johnkneters did the weirdest Slacker I have done in the past 3 years!! It was snowing when we started (29°) then warmed up in Georgetown. Someone needs to tell Colorado that its summer:) But hey seeing all the seasons in one half marathon run makes for an interesting time:) #run #runner #running #coloradorunningman #runaddict #boxingtraining #slackerhalfmarathon #halfmarathon #raceday (at Loveland Ski Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBfxuKne9K/?igshid=1drw3czd0lr6g

The story goes my grandmother Memaw sat me and my cousin Troyce down when we were pretty young and asked what dis we want to be when we grew up? We both turned and in unison said "bums!" So slacker is in my blood :) I came very close to a PR but well I havnt been running and the hill in town at mile 13 wss where my wall was... All in all...a great run! I'm glad I came!! #slackerhalfmarathon #halfmarathon #raceday #run #runner #runningman #running #runningcolorado #runaddict #runchat #runblog (at Georgetown, Colorado)

We did it!! We are now officially part of the 13.1 mile club!! It was a lot rougher than I thought it might be. There were some steady rolling hills and running at 10,800 ft altitude is a bit rough even if the majority of the miles was down hill!! We had one restroom pit stop and a couple of the rougher inclines we power hiked to stretch out, eat and get a drink. We still made the run (by my Garmin) in 2:12:08 which was around a 9:58 pace. I would have liked to have gone a bit faster but my leg started up around mile 4 and my wife's knee started giving her problems around mile 11. The views were spectacular!! You were able to see a lot of Colorodo Mountain country! I took video for as long as my battery lasted so I'm missing around the last 5 miles which is unfortunate!! However I'm looking forward to running that again and starting the video half way. I will be writing more as the official results come out as well as the course pictures. The race promoters put on a great event and I'm so glad I'm crazy enough to sign up for that race!! I'm glad to be a Slacker!! I'm also sore as hell and having to soak to try and loosen up!! It was still some very hard work!!

Some video from the top of the world (10,800 ft or over 2 miles up!!) - The Slacker Half Marathon!! It was a great run with some awesome sights. Unfortunately I'm still learning my GoPro and editing software so you will have to bare with me!! I will post more as I go through the footage.

I will share more when I get the video edited and the race pictures are posted!!
