YAY! So It’s official, for my crazy weekend in August I will not be running alone!
To quickly recap:

• Saturday, Aug 30, 6am, Disneyland 5K (3.1 Miles)
• Sunday, Aug 31, 6am, Disneyland Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
• Sunday, Aug 31, 8:31pm, The Human Race 10K (6.2 Miles)

Today Marcela signed up for the same races! So as I kill myself running 22.4 Miles 19.3 Miles, its nice to know I’ll have company.
Susana is running the Disneyland 5K on Sat and the Human Race 10K on Sunday too, so that should keep me going.

There is still room on our Team Roster for plenty more runners! Join us at any or all of the races!
Email me for links to registration if you need ‘em

EDIT: I didn’t sign up for the Disneyland 5K in time. So rather than running in the race I’ll be there in support of my friends!

The race of all races! Nike is organizing 25 races across the globe to run a 10K on 8.31.08.
For me thats the same day as the Disneyland Half Marathon. So rather than have to make a decision as to which to run in, I’m gonna run both! The Disneyland Half Marathon starts at 6:00am while the Nike Human Race doesn’t start until 8:31:08pm. So I have all day to recover from the 13 mile race and get ready for the 6 mile race. Easy Money!
Oh, and to top it all off, the day before this I plan to run the Disneyland 5K with Susana.
Its gonna be one helluva weekend. All the more reason to make every training run count!

Last week I had a work trip that sent me up to Eugene in Oregon. Going into this trip I knew Eugene was the home of University of Oregon but did not put that all together with the rich running history of Eugene!
Eugene is the birthplace of Nike for one. Bill Bowerman coached at Univ or Oregon and led the track team at Hayward Field. Running Legend Steve Prefontaine was a member of that track team and helped the sport boost its popularity in the mid 70's.
The town was awesome. Its known as "Track Town, USA" and is a mecca for track and field athletes. I really enjoyed the abundance of running trails leading for miles along the banks of the beautiful Willamette River and through nearby parks.
Starting June 27 Eugene will be all over the sports pages as it hosts the USA Olympic Trials for Track and Field 2008.
I hope to get another chance in the future to attend either the Olympic Trials in 2012 or at least the Prefontaine Classic which happens annually. It was a spectacular setting to visit and a thrill to run through.
Definately a site anyone who enjoys the sport needs to visit!!
