My April 5k is: 7th annual Mud Hen Run at McIntosh Lake in Longmont 5 Reasons to sign up (according to the website): Great Longs Peak views No traffic worries Run on a closed path Wildlife viewing Peace and tranquility I love running around McIntosh Lake in Longmont. It was where [...] (In case you missed it, I am running 12 5ks in 2012, yo. Yea, I don’t know why either.)

I’m not quite ready for it to be over.
Confession: I enjoy hay bale season in Boulder County. I know, it doesn’t make sense. Allergy-burdened that I am, finding the simplest pleasures when local farmers head out into the fields, cut grass, shape them and cart them off. You [...]
