I was going to do the 1st half for the San Fran marathon in July but right when I was going to start training I broke my arm. My girlfriend is doing the full marathon there and now I'm just doing a 5k. In Seattle she's doing the full while I'll do the half. She's also registered for a full in Wash DC toward the end of the year and I'm sure we'll both do another half and/or a Sprint Triathlon prior to the year's end. This past weekend she did a Ragnar trail race in West Virginia. I want to do one of those!

I did my first long distance relay race starting Friday night. We had an 11 member team and we went 156 miles from Springdale AR to Springfield Mo in 22.5hrs so we averaged 8:39 per mile. We started at 4:00pm Friday and finished 2:30pm Saturday. My part was 3 legs totaling a little over 18 miles and I averaged 7:45. That was some of the hilliest 156 miles I have ever seen though I am sure there are worse courses. Terrain varied from basic roads in town to almost single lane dirt road and even a 6 mile stretch that was single track trail running. If you ever get the chance to do a big relay with a group its fun. I plan to do more. It was a blast. |

Annapolis. November 22nd. It's where all the cool kids are going to be. Those relay races seem intriguing, but I think the logistics would bother me. The one time I was looking into it, it seemed like you spend a lot of time sitting in a van, and that doesn't sound all that fun. Maybe I'm missing something.

Interesting. How many routes are there to get from Miami to the Keys?

PR'd my 5K this past weekend @ The San Francisco Marathon. Previous 5K time was 25:06. This time ran a 23:38.
Continuing to train for the next race: my first half marathon in September.

That's like Jamaal Charles speed. Or at least Mike Cloud.
I've been kind of slow recently, and I've got a nasty race coming up. http://www.halfmarathons.net/usa_hal..._marathon.html. I ran it last year and the hill at the beginning was tough, but doable. The annoying part is that the last four or five miles was on these little rough trails that wound up and down through a bunch of brush, and it was hot as blazes. They start this race too late in the day for August.

I signed up for another one in December, still expect to finish in under 2hrs, but don't feel the need to try and PR.

I'm running Chicago this weekend. It'll be my first marathon. I've done the training but I'm actually pretty nervous. We'll see how it goes. |

It was a trail-ish, out and back course. The course map and elevation profile are here: https://www.runningahead.com/maps/b1...a52fc1?unit=mi That's Awesome! My girlfriend's first full was Chicago and I've heard good things about that course (it's fast!). Good luck and enjoy the moment!
