It begins

I took a big step towards my 2012 goals and registered for the Valle Caldera Half Marathon on June 9th. While this may not be a P.R. course (it has a nearly 1000 vertical ft. climb around mile 6) I'm definitely up for the challenge. I've been out running quite a few times since the new year, and wasnt real pleased with how my body reacted, my SI and hips have been bugging me for quite a while, not to mention my shin splints (getting old is a bitch) and I think it's time to get to the PT and put in the effort to finally kick this thing.
I first fell in love with running at my 2nd ever cross country meet in Jackson Hole, a true XC course with 3 river crossings and 2 mud pits, it was the simplest joy I can ever remember. Valle Caldera is a beautiful run, hopefully it will bring back some of that joy combined with the work and wisdom that comes with being an older man now. For now it's just getting back to the consistency that I need to feel like a runner again.

Welcome.

Ellis Endurance is fairly new endeavor for me. So is this whole Social Media thing. First off welcome, if your looking to run, race or train you've come to the right place. We're a small group now, I hope to grow and develop a racing team, a social running club and workouts for runners of all abilities. If your looking to be competitive, get into shape, or just meet some people to gather with and run, welcome.
