Earlier this week I had a chance to learn more about Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald and her broad base of support through the use of #BraveLikeGabe .  In the spirit of One Medal, the Albuquerque Dukes Track Club dedicated a weekly run to her as a form of encouragement. On the website bravelikegabe.org you can learn […]

Runoff Runoff

A One Medal Two-Fer for GG

June 1, 2019 by Tom Garrity In Uncategorized No Comments

It is not often you get to take a picture with everyone in your race.  Actually, I’ve been running for nearly ten years and it has never happened. Well, until the Runoff Runoff Marathon. In a cool 42 degree haze, the headwaters of the Rio Grande to our right, the fifteen runners lined up for our […]

Cedro Peak Trail

Cedro Peak for Jim

April 27, 2019 by Tom Garrity In Uncategorized No Comments

The Cedro Peak Trail Half Marathon was going to be a challenge.  It did not disappoint.  At 7,600 feet above sea level, it was higher than Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Add in a cluster of runners on narrow trails… things are bound to get interesting! I ran Cedro Peak for my college friend Jim. My freshman […]

Boulder 70.3 Ironman

70.3 for Pete and another bite of the apple

August 4, 2018 by Tom Garrity In Uncategorized No Comments

The Ironman 70.3 Boulder triathlon was for my friend Pete.  His cancer treatments were successfully wrapping up about the same time this race was occurring. When I started training for Ironman 70.3 Boulder, I had a variety of plans.  The progression of training with sprints, olympic’s and half’s were building for a second Ironman.  Life […]

Dexter

A One Medal Two-Fer for Pete

June 9, 2018 by Tom Garrity In Uncategorized No Comments

Until June 2, 2018, I could state with confidence that I never stepped foot in Dexter, New Mexico. What a neat town. It is tucked away in the Southwestern New Mexico, surrounded by the oil industry. The Milkman Triathlon didn’t offer a finisher’s medal. However, they did have nice shirts.  So I sent my finisher […]

The Finish Line

One Medal for my former employee

January 14, 2018 by Tom Garrity In Uncategorized No Comments

The Houston Marathon looked so good on paper.  It is the city where I was raised in the state where I went to school.  The city is about 5,000 feet lower than where I live, thinking it would provide a natural advantage because of all the extra air. Again, it all looked good on paper! […]

One Medal for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico

August 31, 2017 by Tom Garrity In stories No Comments

I remember the request like it was yesterday: “Daddy, do you have any pop tabs? My class is collecting them for the Ronald McDonald House.” Both of my daughters took great care and were quite meticulous when collecting pop tabs. As a result of the pop tabs and a unique combination of conversations, I joined […]

One Medal for Sue

July 1, 2017 by Tom Garrity In stories No Comments

“Why do you run?” Everyone has their own reasons. I’ve been running since I was 8 or 9 years old. When I was a young child I grew up on the country side of Isleta Pueblo, which is about 20 minutes south of Albuquerque, and lived in a house with my grandparents, my young mom […]
