Episode 129 - Timberlin (Timbo) Henderson; Dine Ultra Runner, Recent Winner at Monument Valley 50Miler

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Timberlin "Timbo" Henderson. He is a Dine trail runner from Fruitland, New Mexico. He graduated from Piedra Vista in Farmington, NM before going on to Western Colorado.

We talk about how he got started in running, doing youth races, and becoming more serious as he got older. He talked about some of the runners he looked up to growing up. He then talked about continuing to pursue his running into college.

We talked about his transition from running in the traditional college system before moving to the Mountain Sports division of sports at Western Colorado and into trail running. It is a fascinating program that I would love to see take  hold here in New Mexico. 

Timberlin also talks about his 420 Run Project from November and the two charities he worked with for the project, Every Mother Counts and Fundamental Needs, as well as his sponsor, Stigma Wellness. 

It was a fun interview and I'm glad to have gotten the chance to talk with Timberlin. He is currently training for some other big races, but is coming back for the Shiprock Marathon on May 6th, register here. 

The weather has been up and down, but it finally is feeling warm. Those spring winds are still here in the afternoon. It's marathon season. It's track season. It's running season, as always. Enjoy your training, trust the taper, and keep running, New Mexico.
