Summary
The Revel Big Cottonwood race weekend was an adventure I won't soon forget. Well, who am I kidding, I'll never forget it. Every destination race is unique, and this one, especially so, because it was mostly downhill and because it was the most beautiful race course I've had the good fortune to run, postcard scenes […]

| 0:00.0 | Episode number 115 of the Mojo for Running podcast, my big Cottonwood Marathon weekend. |
| 0:36.5 | Welcome to the Mojo for Running podcast. I'm the coach, Debbie Boyles, and this is the podcast for middle of the packers, regular people not afraid to work up a sweat, who embrace the outdoors and that wonderful feeling of endorphins surging through their veins. |
| 0:38.6 | My goal is to provide the information you need to achieve your goals. On September 10th, my friends and I ran down a mountain |
| 0:45.8 | in Utah. It was a race that started at 10,000 feet. It was really dark that early and really cold, |
| 0:53.0 | but what a great adventure we had. I hope every one of you |
| 0:56.9 | will at some point get to travel with your running club or running friends, just even a small |
| 1:02.5 | group of running friends, to race in another city. You know, when you're a kid, every day seems to |
| 1:07.2 | hold a great potential for adventure. I was never one of those kids to sleep in because I |
| 1:12.4 | didn't want to miss any time of any day because I had that much fun when I was a kid. You know, |
| 1:17.2 | when we were young, that might be turning the dining room chairs upside down and covering them |
| 1:21.3 | with sheets to make a fort. Years later, it was spending the weekend out of town with friends |
| 1:26.4 | at a swim meet. Great times and great |
| 1:29.2 | memories. Then we grow up and a lot of grownups don't get to experience that kind of adventure. |
| 1:36.5 | Oh, there are family vacations and such as that, but adventures with friends somehow they're different. |
| 1:43.2 | And I suspect that many people never get to |
| 1:45.3 | experience that as adults. Everyone should though, because those experiences keep us young. |
| 1:51.8 | Last weekend, I got to share the adventure that was the big Cottonwood Marathon, which starts |
| 1:56.6 | at the top of a mountain outside of Salt Lake City. 20 of our run Tampa club members ran either the half or the fall. |
| 2:03.8 | That's actually a small contingent for our club, |
| 2:06.7 | but since over 60 of us made the trip to do Grandma's marathon in Duluth in June, |
| 2:11.9 | not as many could get away this time. |
| 2:14.7 | What an amazing weekend, but that's redundant, right? How could it be anything but |
