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...
An Unexpected Inspiration
by Clara Grandt on May 24, 2012
There are quite a few people that are inspiring to me. Anyone that accomplishes something big or goes for huge goals without any holding back can be easily inspiring. There are names in distance running like Deena Kastor, Shalane Flanagan, and Desiree Davila, to give a few examples that show top levels of dedication and hard work paying off. Then there are the people in our everyday personal lives that are inspiring… my coach, teammates, my mom… and I’ve even been inspired by my little sister, lately.I went to visit my hometown recently to ...
