Only part of this is about training for the Triple Crown of Running Series but it does include Brianne Pierson, a fellow member of the PikespeakSports.us Triple Crown Runners team.

My awesome kids gave me KISS concert tickets for an early birthday gift.  Since the concert was on a Wednesday night I took Thursday off work.  I am heading up to Denver and I hear a couple of friends are going for a run Thursday.  So I ask what time and the answer is 9:00.  I think to myself, heck I can be…
