2010 race season begins in 2 weeks–here is a map of our run

February 15, 2010 in Running, Training, Triathlon | 1 comment

2010 race season begins on February 27th at the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth TX. Sara and I will be running the half. It has been hard to keep our running consistent due to the barrage of snow recently–not to mention the lack of longer runs. Below is our running route. Nicest thing about this map is the 13.1 miles are already plotted, much easier than trying to find new ways to add the mileage up in my usual mapping system, walkjogrun.

I am going to use this race as a test and tune up prep for the National half (notice the cycling jersey on one of the featured runners in the main pic–ha!) on March 20 (local people, I hope you’ll come root us on in DC). Texas family & friends–I will be watching the crowd and looking for you with the eye of the tiger–and am hoping to see you all there!

New Running Shoes: Kahru Fulcrum Fluid Ride

Men's Kahru Fulcrum Fluid Ride

Men's Kahru Fulcrum Fluid Ride

After a short break post triathlon season 1 (and battle with allergies/laryngitis/bronchitis) I am back to training and the first major race of my season will be the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth, TX (if you are in TX in February I hope to see you there). Running is not my strongest suit so I really want to concentrate on correcting my form as I build endurance and speed. The long training runs will be perfect for working on my foot strike and posture. This should help me as I start my 2010 race season.

But, I meant to write about shoes….So,since my running shoes from last season were in need of replacement I decided to make a break with my trusted brooks and try a new brand (to me at least) that I was introduced to during the Nation’s Triathlon expo–Kahru. I purchased the Fulcrum Fluid Ride over the Fast Fulcrum Ride with the thinking that over the next few months my running is more about distance and form than speed–so the bit of extra padding in the sole seemed like a good choice for a trainer. Also, I think the shoe looks pretty cool. I had my first run in them last night and they felt good but tonight will be a better test with an outdoor 5 miler.

If you are looking to try a new shoe I’d say go for it, if you have been wearing Kahru leave a comment and let me know your experience.
