The Long Road Back
by Antonio Vega on July 31, 2012
The road back to running after the type of injury and surgery I had is never a short (or easy) one. It has now been about three months since I had hip surgery and I am very happy to report that everything looks good and is healing well.Recently, I had my three-month follow up with the surgeon who operated on me and he had trouble identifying which hip was operated on which I took as a great sign. My doctor was so encouraged that he gave me the OK to finally start training again which is all I needed to hear. Right now, I am running around 40-45 miles a week and starting to feel like ...
Renewed Sense of Purpose
by Antonio Vega on June 28, 2012
A couple of weeks ago, I went to Duluth, Minnesota for the U.S. Half Marathon Championships, just to get back into the atmosphere of professional road running. Before I left for Duluth, I knew I wouldn't be running the race, but I just wanted to be around all the top runners and stay in touch with the sense of excitement one gets at a national championship race.The race was terrific and I really enjoyed talking with some of friends and fellow competitors. I won the half marathon championship in Houston in 2010 and reflecting back on that huge victory for me, made me realize how e...
A Good Race
by Clara Grandt on June 25, 2012
A good race is really so relative. I’m looking forward to have a good race at the USA Half Marathon Championships in Duluth, MN this weekend, June 16th. However, when I say, I am looking forward to a good race, who knows what that means for me? The point is, a good race can mean so many things to different people, even at different times.Many times I have gone into a race with very objective thoughts of what a good race would be. I have a time goal, a place goal, and being competitive, I don’t think I’ll ever not have those objec...
Good Times In the Ice Bath
by Serena Burla on June 20, 2012
Today I filled Boyd’s little kiddie pool up for him to “swim” in and I couldn’t help but have flash backs to the previous kiddie pool filling two weeks ago. It was my teammate Amanda's last day down in D.C., and also the day of a seriously gut-checking track workout. If she had stuck to her original plan of leaving the previous Sunday, I would have begged to have her company for at least a few more days. However, upon hearing of the workout's intensity, she decided to stay, citing that there is "strength in numbers"- my thoughts ex...
Running Buddies take on the Hill
by Serena Burla on May 31, 2012
As I cooled down on Friday, worn ragged by our hill workout at Great Falls National park, I couldn’t help but smile as I glanced at our running crew. All soaked with sweat, smelly, hair disheveled, legscovered in dirt; Jacqui Wentz, Yihunlish Bekele Delelecha, Amanda Marino and I were a beautifulpost workout crew. We each wore a slightly different look of joy and exhaustion. We chatted nonstop about topics I can’t remember, quite contrary to the amount that was spoken during the workout, when each one of us were almost silent except for the occasional kee...
