A Run for Sherry
Submitted by Melissa Marquardt on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 4:18pmDo you know Sherry Arnold? Personally speaking, I do not either. In the running world continuum, she is one of us.
Thought of the week
Submitted by Wendy Borlabi on Mon, 12/12/2011 - 5:33pm“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not: Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Gobblers and Gratitude
Submitted by Melissa Marquardt on Sun, 11/27/2011 - 1:50pmThe past few days have been busy around here. Spending time with family as we celebrated Thanksgiving. And I will be the first to say that I have so much to be thankful for! I am thankful for my beautiful family – near, far, immediate and extended. (I can even overlook that you were 30 minutes late for Thanksgiving dinner!) And I know every member of my family is thankful that Grandpa is with us. The week prior he was placed on a ventilator and things were really touch and go. But he is doing better and getting stronger every day.

The Ugly: San Diego Day Three, Silver Strand Half-Marathon
Submitted by Erin Purrington on Mon, 11/21/2011 - 2:48pmSunday:
I should have known this wasn't going to be a good day as soon as the alarm went off. Usually the night before a race, I can hardly sleep and wake up before my alarm jazzed up and raring to go. Not that day. I had to pry myself off the bed to start getting ready. I just felt exhausted!

The Good, The Slow, And The Ugly: San Diego Race Weekend Preview
Submitted by Erin Purrington on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 11:47amI just got home from my "3 days, 3 races" vacation in San Diego. As indicated by the title of this post, I did not have three good races. I am exhausted (I think I have a vacation hangover!) and after the "ugly" race, have had a ridiculously hard time collecting my thoughts to start writing these reports.
Overall, though, I had a wonderful time and met some great people! This was my first trip to San Diego and won't be my last. Here's how my weekend started out...
