AM: 6.5 miles up and down Grandeur Peak. Time was 2 hours and 5 minutes which sort of impressed me. I was entertaining thoughts of doing a R2R2R run again someday. I tell myself that my window for doing that sort of thing is closing as I close in on 60 but at the same time I don't want to place limits on myself becasue of a number.

I would really like to attempt R2R2R for the first time Rob. Got lots going on this fall, but if you decide to do it in the future and the timing works for me, I would love to join you if you don't mind some company.

Is there an age or pace requirement for this shin-dig? Or is this invite only?

Sounds like a plan - I am in!

I know I'm going back to old stuff here. I've always wanted to do this run. But I didn't want to do it without someone that had done it before, that could provide advice for training, etc. This does not seem like the kind of run you just want to "wing it" at. I've never met you guys, and I'm not as good of a runner as you. But would you consider allowing me to ride your coattails on this run?

That sounds like a lot of fun.. Not there yet. Still a road runner though. I think getting into trail running is where it’s at. Enjoying the time out..

I still like the grove of road running as opposed to trails.
