The Muddy Buzzard: October 2012
http://bigskymiles.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Sunday, October 28, 2012. More Thoughts On MT Cup 2012. If it's not obvious, let me be clear - the sport of running is my passion. From top to bottom. The training, the racing, the supplemental work. The shoes. Love me a good running specialty store. Watching a race/meet at almost any level. Race directing. Coaching. There's pretty much nothing about the sport that I find to be negative. I was able to run the last 2K of the race yesterday with the oldest...

The Muddy Buzzard: NYC 26.2
http://bigskymiles.blogspot.com/2013/11/nyc-262.html
Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Thursday, November 07, 2013. I qualified for guaranteed entry by time with a 1:26:40 1/2-Marathon in Austin, TX in January. Then, right around 4th of July weekend, marathon training started. I went a bit too easy in the first mile. It's a solid uphill on the bridge; and, I really wanted to be sure to not charge out too hard right off the line. But, imagine my surprise when I hit only 8:15! In the end, I think it was just a poor shoe choice. Should ha...

The Muddy Buzzard: June 2013
http://bigskymiles.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Yes, I do realize that I’m a lucky man. I have a great job where my employer treats me with respect and as a valued member of the team. I get to be involved with some very cool projects that (I hope) make for better communities. I have a great family that has provided much fulfillment in my life. I don’t always let them know as much as I should how much they mean to me. Life would be pretty dark and empty without them. And, what...

Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Monday, January 28, 2013. Missoula Running - Yes, It Is A Zoo. The March edition of TrailRunner. Rachel lived in Missoula several years ago; and, is intimately familiar with the local runners, trails, haunts and hangouts. She's also an excellent writer and was a perfect choice to put together a piece on Zootown. And, I couldn't agree more with her assessment of the town that's just "up the river" from the Muddy Buzzard's roost. And, in the past they've h...

The Muddy Buzzard: August 2012
http://bigskymiles.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Goodbye To My Buddy. We lost our buddy Tsavo this weekend. He was our first family dog. I can still remember getting him in 2002 as a Mother's Day present for Erin. Just a little round, brown puff of a dog. An Australian Shepherd mix, he grew into a brown, bundle of energy. He was our very own ADHD, 4-legged child. Yes, he was a handful. Yes, he had his moments. But, we loved him. So, here it is 8:30 at night and we have to bury ...

Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Hot High School Indoor Action. A little catch up on some high school action from this past weekend. The Brooks PR Invitational meet took place in Seattle at the University of Washington indoor track this past Saturday. There were a couple of Montana boys who took part in the elite 2-mile event. Troy Fraley (Kalispell Glacier) was 12th in 9:16.01. Troy ran a nice, even paced race and got an excellent time as a result. Kim was u...

Musings of the Trials of Miles in Big Sky Country. Saturday, June 22, 2013. The Wulfman Gets Wet! Annual Wulfman’s CDT-14K Trail Race is in the books; and, once again Butte’s Piss and Moan Runners put on an exceptional event. This year saw saw the 3. Running of the northbound direction between Pipestone and Homestake Passes. And, in the 2011 northbound edition of this course, ideal weather conditions saw some screaming fast times. But, Mother Nature decided to play a little trick on the field this year.
