2014 Ann Arbor Marathon Registration

The A2 Marathon/half-marathon early registration ends today . . . It is likely a 19 or 20 mile long run weekend for everyone running Boston. The race is on March 30 this year.

I'm signed up for the half that day and will likely run 6 or 7 ahead of the race start if anyone else is interested in doing the same.

These are seriously the most fun events in our area....and everyone should be cross training, right?

Boston Marathon Athletes Read This Blog!!!! + Happy Birthday to Paul!

Over the course of the last couple days, I've discovered there are a vast numbers of athletes who both are running the 2014 Boston Marathon and enjoy this blog.  This is great news since this blog is about the boston marathon.  

To be clear, this blog is not about Dave Chomet's phone.

These runners include:

Paul Aufdemberge - 2009 US National Masters Runner of the Year!

BTW, Happy Birthday Paul!

Elevener Today

Beautiful run outside today with the Comet....11 miles out and back on Hines.  Notice no heart rate data on my Garmin....I'm going without a lot these days. 

This was the scene at the end as Dave enjoyed some Starbucks coffee and an untoasted bagel:

Triathlon Post #1

Yes, this is a Boston 2014 blog, but given the latent triathlon interest in our readership, I wanted to take a moment to show what triathlon dedication looks like on December 26 at 6 am.
