I’m out in Las Cruces, NM for a few days on business but this afternoon I had a couple of hours to explore trails to the east of the city. With temperatures in the mid seventies and bright sunshine, I found a remote trail head that I had read about on the web. [Read more…] about New Mexico Trail

First off, I really am not the one to be writing this report. I have never been crewed and I have never crewed. But, after I submitted my race report from Curley’s I remembered an important part of the race I neglected to mention. The day was made completely special by the crewing of Diana. Diana is a runner but when I see her at races see is usually crewing and supporting Elaine (Nadia, Sprinkles or whatever).

My first memory of Diana was at Breakneck last year. I don’t believe Shelly Girl and I really knew Elaine at that time, but we both have a very clear memory of completing the race and being confronted ( in a nice way) by this lady who was looking for her friend. It seems they had missed each other out on the course and this lady, Diana, was very concerned that she had let her friend (Elaine) down. After speaking with Loopy on the bite of the bluff today, I am beginning to realize that this is the attitude all crews take. They all seem to have a burning desire to help their runner meet their goal and will do whatever they can to help. Loopy was telling me how stressful crewing can be and how everyone felt this strong sense of obligation to the boys at Iroquois. After seeing Diana at Breakneck,  I believe it!

The Iroquios 100 pre-race reading………

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They raced across the start clean out of sight,
You do have to question if they’re really that bright,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice? [Read more…] about Three Blind Mice

What has the feature video go to do with running? Rumor has it the commercial was inspired by Booman! 😉
