Well last night I ran with the Iron Cowboy and I saw the light...the one we needed to run with in the colorless dark New Mexico sky.

I tried most of the day to find the location and ETA of the 5K Charity run; info on their FB pages was vague at best. However, thru postings from locals and sleuthing the web sights by you Kathy I found the intended location and ETA of 7PM.

They had got off to slow swim start in the AM and that kind of snowballed their timing and with his bike pit stop to IV hydrate and take a nap it was 9 before I got the heads up on FB that the start location changed and the run was underway.

Got to the caravan and there were maybe 20 people milling about. I was informed that his plan was for the Cowboy to do 5K repeats on the Bosque multi-use trail. Ideal for night running as it is straight and flat. James came trotting into camp and the place came alive. Fluids, strategies(they decided to go to 1 mile repeats), nutrition and vest with light projectors. A fresh entourage assembled and off we went. In our group was a mother and her 9 year old daughter, a guy who came down from Moab, UT and my wife and I.


this is as far as i got without chills. I can't even wait to read the rest to say SQUUEEEEEEEE! SO excited for you! I'm so glad you were able to! i just (literally) got back from a 60km ride through lots of wind destruction from a storm that will likely be a hurricane soon. thinking of James the whole way! now off to read the rest of your post. THANK YOU for coming back and posting!!! SMOOCHES to you and your wife!

ok, finished. wow! i know NOTHING about this guy. i got bored one day with slow work and started reading this thread and became a cautious fangirl but JHC, what a guy! thanks so much for getting out there and making him real to us - giving us a feel for the guy and how it is going.

i really wish i lived in the USA so i could go out and cheer him on and I'm SO GLAD i could have a tiny part in helping you achieve running with him (and how bad ass is your wife??!!?!)
