Hey All! Huge congrats to Sam Farrell who ran the Clearwater Half in Florida and came 3rd in her age group! Very solid for this time of year when most of us are solidly in base training mode. As a lifelong runner who has endured my fair share of ups and downs in terms of […]
Hi Everyone! Back to Polar Vortexes here. Just slow your paces, wear lots of clothing, careful of footing, shorten your outings, but try to keep getting out. I don’t say this just for training, but also to help gird us through a tough couple of months. Remember: you don’t have to be in a great […]
Hey Everyone! I was so impressed with how many people showed up last Wednesday with the temps in the negative teens. It will be a bit warmer tomorrow (not warm!), but now we know we can do it! Way to go all. This past week I’ve been feeling tired. I’m not sure why. […]
Hi Everyone! Ah, hope everyone is getting settled and back into their routines. I know, it’s flippin’ freezing out, BUT the days are getting longer and sunnier every day! Small wins. Many people are taking this time to dig in to new plans and start working towards exciting running goals. I love that. I […]
Hi Everyone! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone, and Happy New Year!!!! Hope you are all finding the right balance of time spent with loved ones and runs to escape them! Ha. Seriously though it is weird being thrown off your routine, and hopefully you’re all finding some recharging or fresh perspectives […]

Hi Everyone! I believe the only racer last weekend was Pearce at Nationals Cross Country! Pearce came 17th overall as a masters runner in the country. Outstanding. Coming up this weekend we have the Holiday 10K and CIM races! Wohoo! And today we have a guest post from Tanis (THANK YOU Tanis!!!) Guest posts […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to those who ran the Holly Jolly 5K! Colette and fam, Michelle Pitman (trains w us virtually) and son, Monica and Jeff! Some fast times and such a fun, festive, feel good event. Put it in your calendars for next year – I am! I’m now in taper mode […]
Hi Everyone! Huge congrats to Pearce who ran AO’s cross country on the weekend and came in 6th overall masters (over 30) and 2nd TRUE master (over 40)! Cross country is so gritty with the hills, mud, grass, weather, … so impressive. I think this is the time of year, whether training for something big […]
