What I like about trail/mountain running:
The beauty of all that is out there. The challenge it gives me, and the strength I am building.

Favorite running trail and why:
There are lots of fun trails, but I'll have to say Barr Trail it is just so beautiful and quiet.

Steamboat 10k/it is just fun and beautiful up there.

The beauty of Creation. Friendships. Myself.

Running related bathroom stop story:
I was running on Barr trail and thought that the people behind me were far enough back that I could just duck in front of a tree and I thought no one was coming down the trail. Just as I got my pants pulled down here comes a runner dude down the trail. I quickly yanked my pants back up and apologized profusely to the guy. I don't even think it phased him. Thank God, because my big white hiney was hanging out there in all its glory.
