Due to the heat, we are moving the Wed peavine run to 6:30PM.  Hope ya'll can make it.  Ken

Also- Brian Peacock, PHD from Embry-Riddle sent me a chart on the effect of aging...most interesting and more of a linear progression than other pieces of info I have obtained that show a bigger dropoff with age, especially after 60.  This is good news for us OLDIE BUT GOODIES!  

Congrats to Dan Munsell and Steve Orth for their efforts in the Gaspin in the Aspen 15K race in Flag on 6/20.  Their times:

Good job Dan and Steve!!  Dan is doing the entire Flag summer series.  I am slowly coming back to life after my 24 hour race in Minneapolis and will be returning to the racing scene in the Big Bros/Big Sis event on 8/11 if anyone wants to carpool with me...I will be happy to drive and we have a Murano so I can take a group and still have room for bags.

Just wanted to post a quick update and I will put up some pics tonight.  The Boston trip was spectacular.  The running weather was really good and Heidi, Dan and Serena all did terrific!

Heidi Schuette took center stage in the US Olympic Trials for the marathon on Sunday (4/20).  The volume of spectators was overwhelming and Heidi hung with one of the chase packs through a blistering 6:09 pace for 13 miles!  Although she tired a little in the last mile or so, that pace melted some 38 women who dropped from the race after giving it their best shot.  Heidi hung in and finished 102nd in 2:52:20.  

If you think in terms of the best 152 women marathoners in the country at the starting line and everyone of them typically WIN every race they enter, and 38 of them could not finish while trying to keep up with the wicked pace - how good is 102nd??

AWESOME - SAY NO MORE!  Congratulations Heidi - you are indeed awesome. 

Dan "the man" Pemble took over on Monday and smoked a 2:46 marathon finishing 328th of some 25,000!  Dan was WAY FAST although he was nearly distracted as he passed Wellesley College and saw a sign held up by a young coed, "Kiss me I am Single".   It took some real focus for Dan to keep going and not circle back around for that kiss!  Way to go Dan, we are proud of you.  However, next year I have a strong feeling that should there be a repeat of the circumstances, your time may be slowed just a little - somewhere around Wellesley!

Serena Lackey fighting off some last minute colds and training issues, ran the Boston in 3:37!  This is her 2nd marathon after qualifying in her first attempt in Long Beach.  Oh the youth!  Serena intentionally bagged the last 10 minutes so that I wouldn't win the gift certificate we had for guessing her time (I took 3:27).  I just know she bagged me intentionally...

Anyway, Steve and I had super fun and after seeing it in person, I need to qualify next year.  Hope some of you will qualify  as well and we'll have a significant group there.  7000 race volunteers and an estimated 500,000 (yes - a half a million!) cheering/screaming spectators lined the streets and now I am motivated! 

Go Fast.  Run Boston.
