		<title>Winter Finally Came</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Winter finally visited the Colorado Springs area this past weekend.  Luckily I got in a decent long run before it fully engulfed the area.  On Thursday I decided to check out a trail/dirt road  just on the edge of the Air Force Academy that I had never before run.  I left my house and headed north on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting back in a routine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it's been a while since my last post about finishing the Leadville 100. I took some time off from running after the race (not 'off' but definitely tuned down compared to my usual mileage). It really took a lot longer to recover from the race than I thought it was going to. My legs/ankles/knees/feet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; As you all know, I attempted the Leadville 100 last year and DNFd at mile 53.  I came back this year dedicated to redeeming myself.

		<title>Leadville 100 2011 &#8211; Pre race thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As most of you know, I DNFd at my 1st attempt of the Leadville 100 last year.  My 2nd attempt is 3 days away.  I haven’t started getting nervous yet; that won’t happen until Friday.  Last year I never really got to the mental place that I needed to be prior to the race.  My [...]]]></description>
