The Black Squirrel
Okay, those ears really freak me out, but I feel our black Abert's squirrels have been stalking me since I added the inaugural Black Squirrel Half Marathon to my 2013 race schedule. Come join the fun in Lory State Park on August 31. You may even want to play some Bingo along the way.

Quad Rock Eve
One day to the 2nd Annual Quad Rock 25 and 50-mile races! The excitement is building! This is THE trail racing event to be at this weekend (at least in this country). We've got former Olympians and mountain running legends, but they all better bring their "A" games or they're gonna get schooled by our group of strong local runners who tear up and down these trails every day.
I won't throw out any predictions. The defending champ has a nice preview here and the Running Times here. All I can say is that I am really excited to see so many talented runners taking on this course. It's going to be fun to see how it plays out.
With our wet Spring (including 2 feet of snow just last week) the Quad Rock course could not be any more beautiful! The creeks are gushing and the valleys are green! Here are a few more photos from yesterday and this morning to give you a taste. See you all tomorrow at Miles 10 and 40 (Horsetooth Aid Station), and hopefully see you all in good spirits at the finish. Good luck runners!
