Like the stock market, high-school running in the Rockies has stubbornly risen in value since the housing-market crash no matter what else has gaily unraveled around it
The year I set the record, I was coming back from a bad injury. The course is one of those mostly flat, super-fast ones that didn't suit my abilities. Somehow, I went way outside my comfort zone and, despite being in the middle of the pack in the first mile, reeled in a bunch of runners and landed in first place. It's crazy the record stood as long as it did and even crazier how fast people are running that race now.
