Message: [QUOTE="QDOG5, post: 3817760, member: 6764"] I've been an active runner for 30 years. I'm 58 now and 2020 was the least I've run in the last 30. I'm hoping to turn it around in '21. I was never a fast runner, 7:45 per mile bitd, 10:00 now. I've never run a marathon but I have run 15 halfs, a lot of 10 milers and 10ks. The most interesting race I participated in was the Pikes Peak ascent which is a half marathon starting in the town of Manitou Springs and ending atop Pikes Peak. Only the true athletes run it. The majority of participants(me) run the first mile followed by a 12 mile climb. The crazy thing is the next day is a marathon up and down the mountain and about 20% of the participants do the double. I don't have a large to do list - I would like to finish a marathon, maybe run/walk it. Also, I'd like to run a Litchfield Hills Road Race because I'm from the area and have never run it. Anyone care to share some running stories? [/QUOTE]
