Trail Cleanup:
***********************************************
Tim Steffens Writes:
Please come out and help John Gardner and myself Saturday, March 7, 2009 cleanup the Santa Fe Trail which we all run regularly. This is a great way to give back to what has been so graciously been given to us freely, our wonderful trail system in and surrounding Colorado Springs. We meet in the South West corner of the 8th Street WalMart parking lot at 9:00 Am and walk the trail to the Bijou Street Bridge. Trash bags are provided. Please feel free to bring your furry loved ones as well! Everyone who attends will be given PPRR volunteer hours.

The local weather stations are calling for starting temps in the upper 20’s, 50% cloud cover (which can mean anything), low winds and high temps in the upper 40’s or lower 50’s. For a more accurate report, check with me around noon on Sunday.

Run The Republic — Republic Plaza Building, Denver — 02/22/2009
Michael Everson reports:
Distance: 1098 Steps up!
Goal: Finish
Results: Finished
Website: http://www.lungcolorado.org/RunTheRepublic/
General Summary:
This is a race up the Republic Plaza Building in Denver (the tallest building in the city) for the American Lung Association of Colorado.
The Baxters roped me in to this race, and I really enjoyed it.
The temperature at the beginning of the race was a balmy 69 degrees in the basement level of the building. There was no wind to speak of until the 23 and 43rd floors where the AC was blasting. The end of the race had temps in the high 60s.
Things Done Right:
Signed up for the race, raised the necessary $53.00 in donations, and showed up to run.
Practiced running stairs once before the race.
Did the Incline all fall and winter.
Ate some candy 5 minutes before start.
Took a good dump 1/2 hour before start.
Wore a heart rate monitor.
Ran with the BEST TEAM IN THE STATE!!!
Things Done Wrong:
Didn’t sleep enough the night before.
Got passed by 4 people on the way up.
Any Other Stuff:
I’m trying to raise $300 or more for ALOC. If you want to sponsor me, just copy and paste this web address

Waco Marathon — Waco, Texas — 3/1/2009
Mike Sandlin reports:
Distance: 26.2 miles
Goal: Sub-three hours
Results: 3:02:41
General Summary:
One of the best marathons in Texas! This is a low-key race that is well organized with lots of aid stations. The course is flat for the first 14 miles; however, the last 12 miles have many short, but steep climbs (for Texas).
Things Done Right:
Finished feeling strong considering all the races that I have done during the past three weeks.
Things Done Wrong:
Went out too slow and tried to make-up the time during the second half of the race; however, could not do it. Most importantly, I enjoyed the run and did not feel bad at the finish.
Any Other Stuff:
Looking forward to being back with my fellow ICERS next Sunday!
