Weekend Outlook

The Richmond Half and Full Marathon is on Saturday, and the OBX Half and Full Marathon is on Sunday... and I believe we have teammates competing in each... GOOD LUCK Y'ALL! In the triangle-area, there's a Fun Run from Raleigh Running Outfitters (the Raleigh store) on Saturday at 8AM with coffee, hot chocolate, and bagels to follow.

In other news, the New York City Marathon was last weekend... Mutai won, becoming one of only a handful of people to win both Boston and New York in the same year (and I believe the first person ever to break both records in the same year). The women's race was crazy... Keitany shot out of the blocks, running well under course-record pace, only to be chased down by Dado and Deba in the last few miles of the race. Firehiwot Dado was the eventual winner, running far better than expected. And Meb Keflezighi finished 6th overall, with a 2sec PR (wahooo)... in Sketchers GoRun (noooooo)... but he was wearing compression socks (yayyyyyy), so maybe if he switches to the Adios like the rest of the fast marathoners... And, for the most exciting news of the week (yes, I did start jumping up and down), thank you Zensah:
