Running - Fun for the whole family!


The first "race" is in the books for 2007. It was a family afair... I ran the 10 mile, my wife ran the 5K (she's just starting to run this year), and our dauthger did the 1 mile kids fun run. It was the first year of this race "Seven Bridges Season Starters." They did a great job, good course (majority on forest preseve trails), and great food and drinks post-race.
I was happy to perform better than expected, since my training hasn't been too consistant. I did the 10 miles in 1:15:51, which is a pace of 7:35 per mile...very happy with that.
I have said that I wont be doing any tri's this year, and focus on just running and riding. I'm hoping I can find a tri that will work into our family schedule. The big goal is a best marathon in October here in Chicago.

New Toy!


About a month ago I was lucky enough to add a Tri bike to my collection! I am very excited, and looking forward to seeing if my riding improves on the new machine... I have only been able to ride it once, and was very happy with how comfortable it was! Nothing like a new bike to get you all fired up!
