This time of year I have completed my big races and look forward to recovery. It is a hard time to motivate myself to get out and run without any goals to achieve. I also seem to have a injury pop up after I return to running after a big race. Right now I am dealing with my achilles tendonitis that hurts. But here our my top 3 achievements of 2008:

• Developed and race directed my first trail race in Colorado
• Ran the Mount Evans Ascent and climb to over 14,000 feet
• Set a PR at Leadville 100 mile with 21:54 and was 11th overall

Well 2009 will be soon here and my wife will be giving birth to our first child in October. 2009 will be interesting and exciting one!
