Shades of Game

..works best on small screens!

Scenes from the trails and races where I spend a lot of my free time. I’m perpetually in some kind of training mode. Races. Fitness. Distance. Streaks. Or just good old fashioned peer pressure. This site is nothing of not stuffed full of running posts and pics.

8r4d Despite the waning #firesmoke I went out #running late afternoon for day 4 of my streak. The traffic was busy and being the first day of back to school there were a lot of somber looking kids walking home.

8r4d The #firesmoke ruined a perfectly good #running day but I didn’t let it thwart my early ambitions to try for a steak this month. I’ve logged at least 5 klicks three days in a row, not much, but every streak starts with a first, second and third run, right?

8r4d Our planned 5k adventure #running adventure turned upside down and we landed with 8k at the end of it all. There are worse mistakes to make on a summer evening than spending an extra 3k with friends.
