Mt Washington Road Race HOF

I'm not one to name drop, especially on a public forum like this.

However I've got to name drop one person here simply because I'm so proud of the honor she's about to receive.  I'll be honest, I'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to the famous race back east.  The Mt Washington Road Race.  What I do know is it has a rich history, loyal following and the course from my understanding is one tough SOB.

On June 14th, J'ne of Denver will be inducted into their HOF.  Being inducted with a few other runners who are well known around the world in the mountain running community.

I first met J'ne after my 3rd running of Imogene Pass Run in like 2004.  I'd only been living in Denver for a few years and just picked up running.  I knew a few people in Colorado at the time.  I knew no other runner in Colorado at the time.  J'ne quickly introduced me to her group of running gals.  I would join her and a group of older faster gals on the weekends to run trails.

Since then we've all become good friends and have gotten to know each others family well.  I've run countless miles with them.  Ran numerous races (including last weeks CP25) with them.  They were even there to celebrate my wedding celebration.  

Now all in their 50s, these ladies may have lost a step or two, but offer up so much inspiration.   Still running and having a blast doing so.  Never loosing sight of the pure joy associated with running trails.

Congratulations J'ne!
