Morgan Murri Runs the 34-mile Red Hot 55k
What better way to celebrate Valentines day then running 34 miles through the incredible desert of Moab, Ut. (with Nancy of course). The first big run of the year was awesome! Not only a great chance to reconnect with several Ultra-running friends but also a perfect venue to talk GECKO and spread the word about our RUNColorado Pagosa Peaks Trail Race series. It was an added bonus that I finished 3rd place masters and knocked 56 minutes off last years time going 5 hours 23 minutes. Pretty good in a field of 200+. Nancy smiled all the way through the shorter (but far from short 20 miler). This race is tough but certainly one of the most scenic races in the region and a great way to get out of the snow! The icing on the cake was that several runners recognized my GECKO shirt and asked about GECKO, the race series and if I was the "GECKO guy". The word is spreading...help us spread the word!
