ING Atlanta Marathon

So I ran another half marathon, this is my second half for the year.  It has been a lot of fun traveling all over the U.S. checking events off one by one.

  • Atlanta Half Marathon 13.1 miles
  • New Orleans Crescent City Classics 10k
  • Virginia Beach Shamrock 8k
  • Florida River Gate Run 15k

Next weekend I am flying out to California for the Carlsbad 5000.  This is probably one of the most famous 5k’s in the United States.  I may or may not  to participate  in this event  to see if my counter partner wants to have some fun also!

I do not know what future runs that I am going to do or not do.  I do know that I want to take advantage of the position that I am right now, and it has been (so far so good.)  I love all of the people that I meet and my new friends that I make across the nation.


Today as I ran 13.1 miles, I have to admit that it was oddly eccentric to have people on the course cheer me on in this foreign neighborhood. (foreign to me) and it was a pleasant/different/nice experience for me.  Those people were either friends (maigh)(Saturn Crew)(SPIBelt)(Mizuno)(The Stick) or just my customers that yell at me that recognized me from the expo.  See you guys in California in a couple of days...

Another 13.1 Miles

So as I finally make port in Atlanta, I find in my busy schedule and Maigh's busy schedule to hang out. She is the best ATL host in the world! not to mention that she will be an excellent future taxi driver!
Maigh hooked me up with a tour of the Turner establishments.
Below are the pics:

I don't really know who that guy is... but he looks fun huh?
Tomorrow I am going to run another 13.1 miles that is hand in hand with the Atlanta Marathon. It's suppose to rain most of the event. I am pretty much (finished) with the rain and cold weather, I know as soon as the heat comes in I am going to wish that it was back. Are we ever content?

More N'awlins Pics

I've pretty much been all over the US this past year. I have not been to New Orleans and there are a lot of things to see while you are here. I was surprised how much the people that live there hate the people that live there, I have to admit that this was kind of a shock for me. I will tell you that if you do decide to go, stay in the tourist attractions area.

Leaving N'awlins

i am about to leave New Orleans and will be relocating myself in Atlanta.
Here are a few pics from this weekend.  We were here for the Crecent City Classics 10k, a pretty fun event!  I ran this one also but with no intent for a PR since I will be running the Atlanta Half Marathon so I wanted to save some for that race.  To be honest I am feeling kinda tired from running an event every weekend :/

Gate River Run 15k

So I get talked into running another race, this one had an unusual distance but has been around for a pretty long time. It is known for it's grueling bridge finish and ends in the Jacksonville, Florida Stadium. It's pretty cool running through the tunnel in the stadium filled with spectators.

I got a new 15k PR
but then again... I've never done a 15k ;)
