Posted by TheRunning
This morning wasn't unlike many others I've had in Boulder the past few years. I woke up, laced up my shoes, and after a few half-hearted stretches I hit the trails for a chilly morning run. What has been different the past few mornings is my catalogue of thoughts as I put in the miles. I'm in the thick of seeking out a sponsorship for my future running career. by Jenny Barringer

Sandrock: Jason Hartmann races into the spotlight On Running
Posted by TheRunning
Jason Hartmann has always picked his training partners well.
From his earliest prep days in Rockford, Mich., where one of his high school teammates was future U.S. record holder Dathan Ritzenhein, through an All American career at the University of Oregon, to Jorge Torres and the Tempo Sports elite training group he joined in April, Hartmann has trained with some of America's best.
Despite his height -- Hartmann is 6-3 -- and his success, some of those teammates have overshadowed him. For example, his senior year of high school, Hartmann ran 9:01 for two miles -- a great time, but much of the attention was focused on Ritzenhein.

A Brief Chat With Matt McCue
Posted by TheRunning
Matt McCue is the author of "An Honorable Run" (Book Surge Press, www.anhonorablerun.com), a lively and fast-moving memoir of McCue Matt his years as a high school runner in Iowa and as a collegiate runner in the powerhouse University of Colorado program. And it's the tale of two coaches, the very personal and involved and hands-on (he believed in hugs) Bob Brown of frequent state champion Iowa City Regina High School and the more reserved man of fewer words, the "mystical" legend Mark Wetmore of Colorado, for whom McCue struggled to achieve even the status of a "walk on." McCue's teammates included Dathan Ritzenhein and Jorge and Ed Torres.

Colorado has been nicknamed the “Centennial State” because
it became a state in the year 1876, 100 years after the signing of
our nation's Declaration of Independence. Colorado also is called “Colorful
Colorado” presumably because of it's magnificent scenery of mountains,
rivers and plains. This phrase has decorated maps, car license plates,
tourist information centers and souvenirs of all kinds!
