Week of 9/12/11 - 9/18/11

Although the Chick-fil-A cow wore his racing flats, he was no match for Keith, Sean, or Peter at the 2011 Chick-fil-A 5K this morning.  Keith placed 11th overall and 2nd in his division with a PR of 17:10.7.  Sean placed 16th overall and 1st in his division with a time of 17:30.7.  Peter also raced hard for a PR of 18:42.4 and 1st in his division.  Thank you to Barefoot Bob and Peter who were able to video the race and get it posted to YouTube so quickly!

Happy training, 

Holly

  1. Hey guys, below are some articles/videos that Dr. Maggs posted in his last newsletter, "Creating a Stable Base of Support With Your Foot." If you have any interest in minimalistic running, or preventing injuries, they are worth checking out.

  4. Great tip Justin, unfortunately I missed it, but keep them coming! I should work for Whole Foods given how much of my budget is allotted to them.

  7. Hey guys, if you don't belong to ScoutMob, it's a lot like LivingSocial and Groupon (yes, there is an app for that). Anyways, there is a 50% off deal for Northside Social in Arlington. Thought you guys would be interested.

    Thanks Adam! It was a fun race. I saw Vernon at the start and he ran with me for the first two miles and gave me some good tips for racing. Can't wait to see what he can do when he gets back into top form.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yes, Justin! Four separate 5 milers spread out over 4 weeks! First part is tomorrow.

  14. Unfortunately mine all have to be in the same day, back to back. what if you ran 5 miles, rested 5 miles, and ran another 5... that's a compromise, right? ;)

  18. Phew, just made the Geek registration. See you there tomorrow Keith! FYI, last time I went there was no parking allowed at West Potomac, I ended up so far away that I couldn't find the race course (thanks to a lone cyclist I got there in the nick of time).
