Crazy Running



June was the end of my unofficial running season. I ran the Capital City Half Marathon on May 18 and then later in the week flew to Colorado to run the Bolder Boulder 10K with my friend, Robin Ruzicka. Both races were successful in my book.


Back to back races made me focus on the nagging details "real" runners (elite, I mean) have to consider. You know, things like what to eat, how to stretch, long runs, speed runs, and something called fartleks, which I still don't really understand how to do properly. Concentrating this much on running made me think that there should be a shoe endorsement for the average runner. Maybe even the mediocre, mid-pack runner. The thing is, I don't want it to be Keds. So the question is how to convince Saucony that I am the face of their everyday, girl-next-door runner...


The fall racing season starts in September. I'm nervous already!
