Content warning for discussion of genocide. Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 7 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 6 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we;re going to be looking at one of the many genocides that have been perpetrated against indigenous Americans. This, however, will not be the genocide you're expecting. That will be a later episode. The Genocide at Sacred Ridge took place long before the arrival of European colonizers. Unfortunately, much like history's oldest war in Jebel Sahaba, we don't have a historical record of the events so much as a purely archaeological one. But, we'll get to that shortly, first… Let's start things right off with the second installment of the Alchemist's Table. I hope you enjoyed last week's potion. This week we've got another delightful brew called A Taste of Fall. Start with 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, follow up with an ounce of maple syrup (make sure you're using actual maple syrup, not pancake syrup) then finish with 4 oz of soft Apple Cider, shake well and strain into a wineglass. With that out of the way let's talk about the Puebloans. Puebloans is the modern taxonomy for many indigenous peoples who lived and live in and around southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. Now when looking at old cultures without a writing system, or at least without a surviving written record peoples tend to be classified into distinct categories based on the things they left behind. The artifacts we are able to find from archeological sites, how they built their homes, and any kind of art they left behind. There are a number of beautiful petroglyphs at sites like Mesa Verde, which is now a national park. So, who are the Puebloan people and where did they come from? Well the Jargon tells us that They are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara tradition, which developed from the Picosa culture. But to understand what that means we have to know WHAT the OSHARA tradition is and what the Picosa culture is. The simple answer is that we define these cultures by the technology they used and divide them up somewhat arbitrarily in order to have distinct THINGS to talk about. Historical and archeological classification is all made up. None of it is REAL in any objective sense. It's just that we as humans need some way to put things into little boxes so that we can study and understand it. Puebloan prehistory was divided up into 8 periods at an archeological conference in Pecos , New Mexico in 1927. It's called, you might be shocked to discover, the Pecos Classification. The Pecos classification didn't include any dates, it just split up these prehistoric civilizations based on changes in architecture, art, pottery, and cultural remains. So what defined the Puebloan people? Well, most notably it was the emergence of housing structures known as pueblos, the switch from woven baskets into pottery for storage, and the advent of farming. Once people began to develop these technologies and cultural markers they were considered to have transitioned from the Basketmaker III Era into the Pueblo I Era. This is also why no real dates were attached to these periods, because not all groups would enter them at the same time. Hell, even more distinct historic eras, like the Middle Ages are arbitrary and were determined after the fact, as my old history professor Dr. Brian Regal used to say “no one just woke up on January 1st, 1500 and said “Welp, I guess the Middle Ages are done now!” Now, Puebloan is the modern taxonomy for the people who lived and live in the Four Corners region. That being the area on a map of the modern United States where the corners of Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico all meet. However, that's not the only name those people were known as. The Navajo referred to these peoples as the Anasazi, a term which means ancient enemy, although some say that the term actually translates as “those who do things differently. The Hopi use the term Hisatsinom for these people. Those most modern Puebloan people prefer the term Ancestral Puebloan. The population of Puebloan people in the Four Corners region grew rapidly between the years 700 and 1130 CE due to an increased amount of rain making farming much more effective in the region allowing for greater food stocks. Though, it is interesting to note (a phrase I just realized I use a lot as a tangent transition) that study of skeletal remains from the region show increased fertility, NOT decreased mortality. SImply put, people still died at the same average rate, but more were born than were dying. Though, the order of magnitude increase of the local population was also influenced by migration from the surrounding areas. Hopi myths, and similar stories from the Zuni and Acoma peoples hold that Puebloan people emerged into the mortal world from the underworld by climbing up through a sipapu, which was a firepit at the base of a religious building called a kiva. It is said that these peoples were lizard-like in form until they emerged into the sun, whereupon they came to look like humans. These Ancestral Puebloan peoples lived in times of relative prosperity, although, while the area they lived had good, consistent rainfall that allowed for farming without the need for irrigation techniques, not everything with their circumstances would be well and good. War and conflict is, generally, always fought over economic reasons when you drill down into it. Control over resources in an environment where they are scarce will always lead to fighting. This brings us to the archeological site Sacred Ridge. Sacred Ridge is an archaeological site about 8 miles southwest of Durango, Colorado. It covered about 11.6 acres and contained some 22 homes which were built in a style known as pit structures. Meaning that while they had walls and a roof emerging above the ground, the primary structure of the house was dug into the ground in the form of a pit. What follows will be, somewhat, graphic description of the state of a few dozen sets of skeletal remains that were found in some of the pit houses, so: content warning for discussion of tortured and mutilated remains. Two of the pit houses contained 14,882 identified human body fragments, belonging to about 35 people, about half the estimated population of the village. The victims show signs of extreme torture and mutilation, including beating on the feet, scalping, and eye gouging. Because of biological and dietary differences between the residents of the village and other villages in the same area, some scientists believe that this provides evidence of ethnic cleansing. Archaeologists speculate that the village at Sacred Ridge had some form of authority over other settlements in the Ridges Basin area, and that the massacre is part of an uprising following a time of severe food shortages due, in part, to a drier climate. The graphic torture and dismemberment may have been part of a demonstration used to intimidate other elements of the population. This is one of those mysteries we will never be able to solve fully. History is full of them. Short of a time machine the only thing we will ever have regarding the fates of the people of Sacred Ridge are theories. The truly tragic thing about Sacred Ridge is that it didn't even remain a site of human habitation. The entire ridge was abandoned by local peoples within about 15 years of the incident, based on tree ring dating from the area. There is much dispute over whether the events at Sacred Ridge constitute a genocide, that being actions taken with the intent to wipe out a particular national, ethnic, racial or religious group in whole or in part, or it was merely a massacre directed at a people who were prosperous while others suffered. Anthropologist Debra Martin has even suggested that the attack at Sacred Ridge may have been in reprisal for dark and malevolent magics that were being practiced by some of the people in the region.Witch accusations and killings have long occurred in societies throughout the world, Martin says. Hopi, Zuni and other Pueblo groups have for centuries killed people regarded as malevolent sorcerers controlled by unseen, wicked forces. Children are viewed as particularly easy prey for evil spirits seeking bodies and souls to commandeer for nefarious purposes. Procedures for destroying witches include mutilating, cutting up and burning bodies so evil spirits have no human vessels to inhabit. Much as with the war that was alleged to have taken place based on evidence left on skeletal remains at the grave site at Jebel Sahaba, we will never know the why of Sacred Ridge. Is it a genocide? Was it an attack on evil witches? Was it merely a massacre to get at food that starving people greatly needed? I don't know and that, quite frankly, is my very favorite sentence to say. That's it for this week folks. No new reviews, so let's get right into the outro. Have a Day! w/ The History Wizard is brought to you by me, The History Wizard.

Sherrie Baca executive director of Pueblo County Libraries joins Dave on the Podcast. They discuss the seven libraries Master Vision Plan to renovate and refresh public libraries across Pueblo Counties. That plan includes the Barkman library that's current closed, where $4.5 million in investments and 2,700 square feet will be added. Since 2003 they have checked out more than 14 million library materials. Baca also reminds Puebloans that most things have gone digital, people can stream music, movies, and read e-books and audio books free with a library card. The library has also received a grant through the state to allow Colorado City and Rye residents can access telehealth services through the library system. Meeting rooms are available at no cost with the exception of the Ryals Grand Event Space at the Rawlins library. More than 1,000 laptops, tablets and hotspots are checked out currently. They are currently asking for the public to help fund the library renovations for Barkman & Lucero libraries. For more information go to pueblolibrary.org

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Tuesday September 28th, Today - Glenwood Springs has had a challenging year … between the Grizzly Creek Fire, and mudslides. But businesses have largely stayed afloat thanks to federal aid. And now, they have access to federal disaster loans. But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to September 28th, 1719, when a massive expedition of Spaniards, Puebloans, and Apaches endured an early winter storm and feared for whether they had enough food. It's little wonder that this beleaguered company at its camp near present day Trinidad Colorado, referred to a nearby river as the River of Lost Souls in Purgatory. Now, our feature story. Glenwood Springs has had a rough year … the Grizzly Creek Fire in August 2020 forced a two-week shutdown of Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon, just as the tourist destination was emerging from COVID lockdown …. in August this year the hot-springed resort town again endured a two-week closure of the canyon as mudslides buried the interstate below the burn scar … Glenwood businesses have been able to stay afloat for most of 2021 thanks to COVID relief from the federal government … and now those businesses have access to low interest federal disaster loans approved earlier this month. Colorado Sun reporter David Gilbert looked into what he called Glenwood's “cavalcade of hardships,” and how this new round of federal assistance is helping the town's economy … To read more of David's reporting on Glenwood Springs, go to coloradosun.com And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Nonprofit river conservation group American Whitewater is exploring a plan to adjust Colorado water law so communities can protect recreational river flows without building whitewater parks. The proposed changes to Colorado's Recreational In-Channel Diversion water rights regulations faces stiff opposition from Western Slope water users. The Denver Public Schools board has expanded its conflict-of-interest policy to ban employees of independent charter schools and innovation zones from serving on the board. The district's policy already barred school district employees from serving on the seven-member school board. Last week the board unanimously approved the new rules without public discussion. The board's next election is set for Nov. 2. Fewer than 5,000 students — that's less than 1% of Colorado's K-through-12 students — have signed up for a weekly coronavirus testing program. That is not enough kids, says Colorado Governor Jared Polis, who launched the testing plan as a way to track cases and prevent outbreaks. Schools need to test at least one in five students to make a difference, the governor says. The testing program, which is backed by $173 million in federal funding, is testing about one-in-25 kids at 200 Colorado schools. And Colorado students are catching COVID, with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment last week tracking 156 active coronavirus outbreaks in K-12 schools.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Friday, September 3rd. Today - Some towns around Colorado Springs have come up with a project to cycle their water in a nearly endless loop to solve their water shortage problems. The cost is over $100 million and involves nearby Fountain Creek. But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to September 3rd, 1779 when a combined force of Spaniards, Puebloans, Utes, and Apaches battled with a band of Comanche for control over modern day Colorado. The battle ended the following morning with the death of Cuerno Verde - the leader of the Comanche. Now, our feature story. Some fast-growing exurbs north and east of Colorado Springs think they've found a possible solution to the ever growing Front Range water woes. Instead of constantly drilling wells into a shrinking regional aquifer, they've devised a $134 million project to cycle their water in an almost endless loop through a complex process that involves nearby Fountain Creek. Colorado Sun reporter Michael Booth joined Sun colleague Kevin Simpson to talk about the new water strategy. You can read more from Michael Booth about this complex strategy for a sustainable water supply in the Colorado Springs suburbs at ColoradoSun.com. And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: In Colorado's effort to get as many people as possible vaccinated against the coronavirus, the state will employ a secret weapon: the family doctor. On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis announced a new grant program to make it easier for primary care clinics to become vaccine providers. Those clinics, where the majority of Coloradans receive their routine medical care, could be crucial in boosting COVID vaccination rates, as surveys repeatedly show the family doctor to be a trusted source of medical advice. After more than 100 hours of public testimony over the last two months, the two independent commissions redrawing Colorado's congressional and legislative maps now will be using that feedback to inform the state's new political boundaries. The first version of a new congressional map based on the comments is expected by Sunday but could be released as soon as today. Like dozens of mayors before him, Steve Kudron smiled and waved at his constituents during Grand Lake's annual Buffalo Days parade. But in a notable departure from the past, Kudron's vehicle sported a sign urging townsfolk to stop his recall, a question that goes to voters Oct. 5. Kudron's controversy highlights the small town's division over the future of the community -- a future that hinges, as it does in many small communities, on how to provide affordable housing for workers and young families. Sun correspondent Vicky Uhland takes a closer look at what's at stake. Colorado taxpayers can look forward to a break on their income taxes -- and a refund check -- because the state exceeded its cap on government growth and spending under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. The income tax rate will drop to 4.5% in 2021, down from 4.55%, and individual taxpayers will get an average sales tax refund payment of $70, with joint filers receiving about $166.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Thursday July 29th. Today - The pandemic and stay-at-home orders led to new consumption habits. Many people began drinking more beer, seltzer, and other canned drinks - and those habits have persisted. But now, it's led to a shortage of aluminum cans and lids. We'd also like to take a moment to thank our sponsors at SunShare. SunShare is building a new community solar garden and YOU can participate! Your community solar subscription adds solar to the energy mix, and your utility buys that energy directly from you! So join the thousands of other Coloradans who share your commitment to clean energy. Space is limited and filling quickly, so make sure to visit us at mysunshare.com But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to July 29th, 1706 when a party of 140 Spaniards, Puebloans and Apaches under General Juan de Ulibarri reached the south bank of the Arkansas River in present-day Prowers. They had trekked for 2 and a half weeks from Santa Fe. Ulibarri praised the area as the best and broadest valley. The expedition proved a success in strengthening the ties between the Spanish, Puebloans, and Apaches. Now, our feature story. The coronavirus pandemic and mandatory stay-at-home orders created a lot of new consumption habits and economic forces that have persisted in 2021. That's certainly the case with the canning industry, as high consumption of beverages like beer and seltzer have driven a shortage of aluminum cans and jar lids that a lot of Colorado businesses rely on to get their products to consumers. Colorado Sun reporter Jen Brown talks to reporter Shannon Najmabadi about what's behind shortages dogging Colorado breweries, home jam operations and other businesses. To read Shannon's story, go to coloradosun.com. And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Momentum to mandate health care workers get vaccinated against COVID-19 is growing across the country and in Colorado. On Wednesday, two more major health systems announced that they will require their employees to be vaccinated against coronavirus by the fall. UCHealth will require staff to be fully vaccinated by October First. And Denver Health gave its workers a November First deadline. The announcements came after Banner Health said workers at its four Colorado hospitals must get the vaccine. A parks employee for the city of Arvada has died after the riding lawnmower he was on tipped into a lake. Joe Herrin was a parks maintenance worker who had been with the city since 2018. He was using the mower near the edge of Birdland Lake at Jack B. Tomlinson Park on July 22 when the accident occurred. He died of his injuries yesterday. Douglas, El Paso, Mesa and Moffat counties are among those in which the CDC is recommending people resume wearing masks indoors in public places. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now urging people living in communities with high COVID-19 transmission rates to start wearing masks again when indoors. A long list of Colorado counties have high-transmission rates. The CDC said the recommendation applies whether or not people are vaccinated. Adams County is the first in Colorado to revise its policies on oil and gas since new statewide regulations took effect in January. Commissioners in Adams County adopted new rules during a public hearing this week. The regulations increase setback distances for new drilling to two thousand feet from homes, schools, daycares and parks.

*Some of the content in this episode might be sensitive to some listeners* In this episode Dave Moore chats with two sisters who are Pueblo natives and are now thousands of miles away on the island of Saipan. It's safe to say Aria and Grace Keilbach are Pueblo's Podcast's most long-distance guests. Saipan is a very small island — smaller than Pueblo (in square miles) in fact! It's located in the Pacific Ocean near Guam — think north of Australia and south of Japan! It's just a tiny dot on the map. After World War II, countless combat dogs that had been used to sniff out bombs and hiding Japanese, were lost or left behind. Today the descendants of those heroic war dogs are known as boonie dogs, a mix between Bloodhounds, Rottweilers, Labradors, and German Shepards. They roam the island living off any scraps they can find and enduring the harsh rainstorms and blistering heat. While Aria & Grace have been there, they've seen horrible animal abuse and treatment of animals, including starved mama dogs, neglected puppies, and more. Many of the pups have health issues from the neglect, like broken jaws, vision problems and fleas and ticks! Now they've dedicated their time -- in between their school work -- to an organization they founded and named Boonie Babies. Aria & Grace are now working to rehome dogs, give them the vet care they need and make a difference in the island. Unfortunately they don't have a certified vet on the island so many animals die without care. However, a small clinic on the island does what they can, but cannot perform surgeries. The clinic recently faced a hurdle of it's own. The land was re-zoned by the government, forcing the clinic out. Aria and Grace say they will stay on the island until their work has made a difference. Host: Dave Moore Guests: Aria and Grace Keilbach Editor: Carly Moore Music: J.B. Skelton

Dogs Doing Good by Detecting Doo Doo. That story and more on H2O Radio’s weekly news report about water. Water, deemed an essential human right by the UN, is as of last week going to be traded as a commodity like oil or gold. Honeybees have a dung good defense against hornets. How did ancient Puebloans, who lived in what is present-day Arizona and New Mexico get their water during droughts? Plants won't be able to absorb all the CO2 in a warming world. Pups on the prow, prowl for poop.
Today I want to tell you about one of the things that makes an Amazing Life. This last weekend my wife and I went on a four day trip to Pagosa Springs Co. We were celebrating our 28th year of marriage. We had a simply wonderful time. This time was not without setbacks or problems that is not what made it amazing. In fact there was a fairly big and costly problem. We did not let that taint the trip. We spent as little time as possible on it. Handling it but not focusing on it. During our trip we spent much of our time together We listened to books that we like and podcasts and talked about things we want. And the majority of it without phones. I uploaded some Pictures on the facebook group for anyone who wants to see the things we did. The first day we went to Chimney Rock National Park, This is an archaeological site located at the southern edge of the San Juan Mountains, This site tells about the ancestral Puebloans of the Chaco Canyon. These people had amazing lives over 1,000 years ago. They fought with neighbors the Fremont tribe of southern Utah, they have found bodies with spear heads. They eventually moved away from the place that they loved and destroyed their homes. Never to move back. They had faced Long cold winters living at 7,000 Ft. They faced hunger and danger. They had lost loved ones to disease and war. Do you think any of them found it hard to get out of bed in the morning? I'm betting they did. I'm betting they faced similar emotions to those that we face today. Other things Pagosa Springs offers are miniature golf, frisbee golf, lots of beautiful walks. Then the claim to fame is the hot springs that they are named for. The smell of sulfur is noticeable in the air at times and places. There are these pools of hot water along the river that differ in temp. They are so amazing to set in. They refreshed not only my body but my soul. The hot water with all the minerals softened my skin and just made me feel good. As we sat in one pool we started to talk to a guy who was also in the pool. He had come to wash his clothes and clean himself up. He looked like he could have been homeless. We spoke for about a half hour talking about current events, Things like today and all the crazy things happening. We spoke about the presidential race and the looting and rioting. We talked about religion, He asked if we were Members of “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We told him yes. He talked about the golden records Joseph Smith found were not a record but a vision of the future of people earning golden records for music today. We also talked about the bible he mentioned the members he had met had a good understanding of the bible. We talked about this radio show he had listened to on the Caste system in India If you haven't yet, do yourself and me a favor and subscribe to this podcast and also join the Facebook group. Also, here is a spot to click and set up a time so we can discuss how you can use these tools and others to get your amazing life! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/youramazinglife/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/youramazinglife/support

In exploring the desert southwest, references to the "Anasazi" people are common. For some, the term may conjure up images of cliff dwellers, or creators of striking rock art. Many may associate their society with their sudden and swift disappearance - the so-called "Mystery of the Anasazi." There are much more to these to people than that. The ancestral Puebloans built a rich culture over millennia in one the harshest climates on earth - their legends, petroglyphs, pottery and remarkable structures endure to this day, as do their descendants. Pairs well with Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Western Colorado. Great for drives on I-70, I-15, I-40 and I-25, as well as US 191 and US 160.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-424 – Alix Shutello – The Intersection of Publishing and Endurance (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4424.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-424 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Some off you may be wondering what happened to me last week! Or not. I was waylaid by an aggressive intersection of life and technology that prevented me from putting a show out. It was a cascading series of events that you get sometimes in this squiggly path we are all on. First I had an interview set up with Jamie Bearse who heads up the ZERO for prostate cancer foundation that I've decide to run Boston for this year. Oh, right, I got a waiver number from my club for Boston and I'm running again. Anyhow, Jamie got the flu, not the coronavirus, this was before that reared it's multifarious ugly heads and we had to reschedule. I, not willing to give up, called our friend John Vaughn who is a Prostate cancer survivor and coerced him into recording a last-minute call on the same subject. Probably the finest and most compelling interview ever done by two mere mortals… But, something got twiddled sideways in the great bit-locker in the sky and there was no file of the recording to download. After a week of tet-a-tete with the support guys there was no file. Meanwhile I was in Phoenix for 5 straight days for a kickoff with my new job. I did, over-optimistically bring my recording stuff, but, as these things go, was not afforded the chance to create some sort of non-interview filler episode. C'est la Vie. Such is life. But, even as you mourn the apparent reality that a rigorous and devoted podcaster like myself can't keep a schedule, all hope is not lost! I rounded up a great talk with Alix for you for today's show. I met Alix on LinkedIn, saw that she runs an endurance sports magazine and had to get her on. I love to understand the intersection of business and endurance. I have two asks today. First is that you send me suggestions on people you'd like me to interview. I don't have a producer so I have to hunt them down on my own and after 12 years of doing this I've talked to a lot of people! Second ask is to contribute to my Prostate cancer campaign. I'll put the links in the show notes. My friends are dying from this. It's important to me. In the first section I'll talk about long run paces, again. In section two I'll give you my brief understanding of the current OKR wave in organizations. How's my training going? Actually quite well. Since I'm planning not to hammer Boston this year my coach has me running basic base building runs so far. For example this week I have had 4 easy 1:20 runs. These are not race specific so I can do them in the woods with Ollie and it makes us both quite happy. I got every one of my workouts in while in Phoenix. Proud of that. I'm heading to Vegas next week and look forward to doing some early morning exploring there as well. I received multiple ‘feedbacks' that my grizzly bear audio was just a little too real last episode. People were startled and looked around on their runs to make sure they weren't about to be eaten! Sorry. Trying to be creative. Yah know… 12 years and all… got to keep it from becoming too rote. No, I did not suffer from any grisly grizzly attacks but that was actual audio of a grizzly eating a dead caribou in Yellowstone. There is a grisly back story here. And it's not that someone found a way to mic up a dead caribou. If you search for grizzly audio there's a sort of viral audio of this poor dude and his girlfriend being attacked and eaten by grizzlies in the early 2000's in Yellowstone. I did not watch or listen to it because I don't need that in my head. Apparently they were trying to video the grizzly with the phone, the grizzly attacked, the phone was dropped and you get a black box narrative of the affair. Not my cup o' tea. I won't leave you with that. I'll leave you with something positive. The days are getting longer up here in New England. It's been a mild January and we don't have much snow. This means there's enough sun to get on the trails with the dog around 6:30 AM now. And it's cold enough for the trails to be firm and fast. There's nothing like being out in the woods in the silence of a winter's morning. Your feet crunching in the frozen ground. The sun glow highlighting the world in an innocent blur. Your friend the dog hiding at the tops of hills to pounce on you, damn near knock you down, and run off laughing like a teenager to find his next ambush spot. On with the show! … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported. What does that mean?

I mean that! I started writing a blog entitled, Tighthams, to write about my running exploits as a new mom. In 2002, I ran the San Diego Marathon pregnant and it wasn't until 2006 when I wrote about it in my blog. I started the blog, truth be told, to learn how to us WordPress. Many of my 11 magazine clients at the time were starting to blog and leverage social media. I figured if I were going to be able to consult with my clients on blogging, I needed to start blogging myself. And now I've published this blog about running a marathon pregnant, and other women from around the world began responding to the blog. I was immediately humbled. Many of these women had multiple kids, had run through all of their pregnancies, and who still felt that society didn't agree that women should run pregnant. In essence, my blog post on running pregnant started a conversation, and that was a lesson I could teach my clients. I kept up with the blog and started to write reviews on products and post some other topics, all of which seemed to generate a number of comments, so I turned Tighthams from a blog into a company called Runners Illustrated. Runners Illustrated, which played off of a combination of Runners World and Sports Illustrated was a great way for me to report on all aspects of running. An endurance runner from Australia names Andy Bowen emailed me one day. He asked me if I could start covering endurance races. Bowen was one of a number of athletes who approached me about covering global endurance foot races beyond the marathon. It opened my eyes to a world I didn't know existed….and from there, Runners Illustrated, which focused on running any distance up to the marathon morphed to include all types of ultra running. It didn't stop there. Once I changed the name of Runners Illustrated to Endurance Racing Magazine, the triathlon community found me too – and it didn't stop there. Endurance Racing Magazine operated from 2012-2016 and covered a number of non-motorized endurance sports including kayaking, canoeing, ultra marathons, adventure racing, Ironman-distance races, ultra-triathlons, duathlons and all other types of trail and road races in between. In late 2016 I conducted a survey and the title of this publication changed to Endurance Sports & Fitness Magazine. The title, while long, resonated with my readers and created more comfort for those, like me, who are striving to enter the endurance world. In 2016 the newly redesigned magazine (which was only published digitally) hit the “shelves” with a lot of fanfare. We hope that you consider supporting the magazine through a subscription or by advertising. The magazine, which is a community-based magazine, is supported by a number of writers who give their time to provide excellent content and rich stories for our reader base. Please and support our publication. If you ever need to contact me, reach me at . I look forward to hearing from you. Alix Shutello CEO & Publisher Section two – On OKR's – Outro Well, my friends, we have transversed the frozen ground to the end of another RunRunLive Podcast Episode 4-424 lies sweating and spent in the hoar frost. Nothing new or novel in my training or racing to report. I'm plunking away build mileage for Boston. I canceled the pacing race on Martha's Vineyard so I can focus on requalifying in June. I have signed up for the Tunnel Light Marathon in Oregon which is on a rail trail and is a consistently slightly downhill course. I'm not going to run any other races, except for the Groton 10K of course. This is I think our 29th running of the 10K. Last Sunday in April, come up and join us. If you folks need anything feel free to reach out to me. I like hearing from you. Ollie the collie is doing fine. He's just 8 months old now. He's a stud of an athlete. We'll finish this week with somewhere around 30 trail miles. He's still incredibly unruly. He is very vocal, which Buddy was not. Ollie will spontaneously treat you to a loud, close-range, ear-splitting bark if he wants your attention. He's still very mouthy and jumpy and does not listen well but we're working on it. A couple weeks ago we were out running in the woods and we came upon a large flock of wild turkeys. Probably 20-30 of them. Ollie was beside himself with joy. He chased those birds hither and thither. Some flew away, like turkeys do, they can't really fly but they can go short distances, some ran away clucking. Eventually he came back to rejoin me all tuckered out and quite happy with himself. He's just come into my office to see me and put his big head in my lap for a hug. When I was out in phoenix last week I was thinking about the absurdity of having such a city in the middle of the desert. Before the modern era you could not do such things at scale. One of my mornings I was running along a canal, which I think they called an aqueduct. It was fenced in. I did not attempt to breach the barbed wire. I've been known to jump fences, but it looked like they really didn't want you inside this fence. Turns out, I was told later, that the whole thing is alarmed with motion sensors and if you get inside the fence the authorities rush out to apprehend you. That might have made a good running adventure story. The Puebloans who lived here before got by, but not at this scale. Cities need a reason to exist. They need to be near something. Ancient desert cities were on an Oasis and or near a source of water or trade route. You just don't put a city in the middle of a desert like Vegas or Phoenix for no reason. There was a recent discovery of a large city in Egypt from a few thousand years ago. And they were asking the same question. Why was this city here? In the middle of the desert? They were able to use modern LIDAR and other airborne surveys to figure it out. A branch of the Nile used to run by this city. That branch of the Nile silted up so the residents picked up the whole city and moved it to the next branch of the Nile some 100 miles away. We'll see what happens when Phoenix runs out of water. And Vegas. Challenges like this bring out the innovative nature of humans. I will see you out there.

Welcome to Ancient Voices, a digital audio tour of Southwestern Colorado’s antiquities, a presentation by Mesa Verde Country. This trip focuses on the Dolores Project and the related Dolores Archaeological Project which preserved 100s of thousands of artifacts of the ancestral Puebloans. We’ll visit two dwelling sites adjacent to the Anasazi Heritage Center and will […] The post Ancient Voices Trip 3: Dolores Project appeared first on Mesa Verde Country Visitor Information Bureau.
When five cowboy brothers stumbled on staggering cliff dwellings of the ancient Ancestral Puebloans in a remote corner of Colorado, their curiosity turned into a passion. That passion ignited a chain reaction that led to the creation of a controversial power entrusted to the President of the United States through the Antiquities Act.
Protestors on college campuses may see signs pointing them to "free speech zones." Those types of cordoned off areas, meant to contain students' political speech, will soon be illegal on Colorado campuses. Then, new evidence that ancestral Puebloans used sophisticated geometry to build the Sun Temple at Mesa Verde National Park. And, Denver poet Robert Cooperman draws on his childhood memories of his father's work at a local hat factory for his new collection, "City Hat Frame Factory." We also have a history of "The Denver," which was the main place to lunch and shop in town during much of the 20th Century.
The ancestral Puebloans were some of the first farmers in the American Southwest. Join ranger Karen Henker for a brief look at their lifestyle, as well as the art and architecture they left behind.

Check out http://www.eTravelogue.com for more information!Once, thriving American Indian trade communities of Tiwa and Tompiro speaking Puebloans inhabited this remote frontier area of central New Mexico. Early in the 17th-century Spanish Franciscans found the area ripe for their missionary efforts. However, by the late 1670s the entire Salinas District, as the Spanish had named it, was depopulated of both Indian and Spaniard.What remains today are austere yet beautiful reminders of this earliest contact between Pueblo Indians and Spanish Colonials: the ruins of four mission churches, at Quarai, Ab, and Gran Quivira and the partially excavated pueblo of Las Humanas or, as it is known today, Gran Quivira. Established in 1980 through the combination of two New Mexico State Monuments and the former Gran Quivira National Monument, the present Monument comprises a total of 1,100 acres.This week's interview: Salinas Pueblo Missions National MonumentWebsites:http://www.eTravelogue.com/http://www.nps.gov/sapuBe sure to stop by our site and suggest attractions that you think we should cover on the program!Listen to this issue
