Easy workouts until Chicago!

I'm feeling recovered after Akron, now it is going to be moderate workouts until the Chicago Marathon! Today however I am giving my Saucony shoes a break today and hitting the bike. They probably feel lonely we spend lots of time together!

Road Runner Akron Marathon

Just finished the Road Runner Akron Half Marathon, had a much better day than last weekend. I was not out to set any records today with Chicago Marathon right around the corner and cruised in with a 1:25:32. Congratulations to Darris Blackford who came in at 1:24:11. A post race massage, snack, Saucony AMP PRO Compression Suit will make for a great recovery!

Saucony On Sale!!

I know fall is right around the corner but Saucony just pull their summer clothes on sale!! I highly recommend the Inferno stuff (pictured), nice and lightweight. In fact the Inferno singlet and split short is the only thing I race in!

2011 Air Force Half Marathon In the Books!

Had lots of fun at the Air Force Half Marathon this morning. The conditions were perfect and Rob Powers did a kick ass job of announcing as always. Nobody has any trouble finding me with all the Saucony Vizi PRO I was wearing! Things started off great but I had two bathroom stops on course and got stung in the head by a bee, yes a bee!? I still managed to pull off a 1:24:26, hoping for better at the Akron Marathon next week! Thanks to Jenny, mom, and dad for the cheers and support!

Great Weekend Long Week Ahead!

I had an amazing time at Fort2Base over the weekend, very inspirational. Long hours and not much sleep but it is easier with good friends! Thanks again to Beth Salinger, Abby Strauss, Julie Levin Schaeffer, Caylei Vogelzang, Patricia Ball, Rob Powers. It is going to be a light training week with Ryan Ritchie's wedding Friday straight into the Air Force Half-Marathon Saturday! Definitely need to eat well, rest, and relax in my Saucony AMP PRO compression gear.

Back on

Feeling back to my old self just in time for Fort2Base in Chicago. After being sick and some less than inspiring training this week I am looking forward to it. 90% of the stuff in my bag is Saucony, do I really need anything else?!

Feeling Blah...

Feeling a little under the weather again today, my throat is killing me and seriously congested I have been training so hard I can't say I'm surprised. It didn't stop me from working out this morning though, then I might feel really bad!

I have already tried hot tea, Halls, lots of water, etc. Anyone with suggestions?

Emerald City Half Marathon

Got up this morning and ran the Emerald City Half Marathon in Dublin. I was not out to race just get some decent miles and test out my shoulder. The course was wet and humid but still a good training run (1:25:00). Ryan Ritchie from Caught Smiling got some pictures good shots of my new Saucony ViziPRO racing kit (I even got him to wear some to match).
