Unlike others, I can't just train for one race until August. I need some intermediate events to keep me motivated and set benchmarks. Here is what I've got planned between now and the end of the summer:
- 5K on St. Patrick's Day - A fun and fast 5K in downtown COS. This will mark the one year anniversary of entering a race. Looking forward to setting a new 5K PR.
- UCCS Bash the Bluffs (27 April)- Finally found some info on active.com. They are offering a 5K, 10K and children's fun run this year. New loop course this year. Leaning towards the 10k.
- Take 5 in the Garden (3 May) - 5 miler in Garden of the Gods
-Garden of the Gods 10 Mile (8 Jun) - First leg of the TCR
- Summer Roundup Trail 12K (6 July) OR Barr Trail Mountain Race (13 July) - Will asses this as it gets closer.
After the early July races, I'll spend the rest of the weekends on the mountain, hopefully above tree line.

What, no Barr Trail Mountain Race ????? That's one of the best races for prepping for the Ascent. Plus McDermett and I need some new blood to drink a beer with afterwards.
It's in there. On the last line. Still up in the air on leg 2 of the TCR or BTMR.
How about running the Slacker Half Marathon with me and the SO on June 28th? Goes from Loveland Ski area to Georgetown. Half dirt/half pavement. Tommyknocker beer at the end. Think about it.
I'll think about it. That's only a week removed from our honeymoon. The format (downhill) greatly benefits my running style though!
