End of the Road...

Well done runners and Fanager!

It was a long road (really, it was...), but it's done and over with!

Where's the Road leading to next? :) I'm assuming the Roads to Tacoma and Kirkland are blocked...

Fanager ready for some serious fanaging!

Hey all! I'm getting excited to take a road trip with my peeps! Fanaging isn't how I planned/wanted to be partaking in this trip, but I am looking forward to cheering you all on. I have a MRI scheduled for tomorrow, so hopefully that will shed some light onto my situation, and I'll be out there training for the Seattle 1/2 asap. Happy training!

Less than three weeks to go!

It's time for the big push, warriors! Only 20 short days until our visit to the great country of Canada to demonstrate the USA's warrior spirit. I hope everyone has a great week of training...and I hope some people take it easy (Andy, I'm talking to you sir). Andy, great job today.

Race Photos...

Race photos are now available.. Can't say I saw one of any of us that was particularly awesome...

Just wanted to congratulate everyone on a job well done yesterday. Way to show up and get 'er done!

Hard to believe Vancouver is only a month away now. I hope everyone can participate in some capacity! Have a great week of training, everyone!

The Road to Vancouver: A Rocky One

Hello All! It has been FAR too long since I've posted here. The past two months of my road to Vancouver have been rocky to say the least. After the great high of running four miles at the very beginning of February I've been struggling (to say the least).

A walking cast, crutches, a few hundred dollars (I hope that's all) and a pair of orthodics later....I think it will be okay for me to start walking again....lets hope! My doctor says it could take a year or more before I am fully healed and completely pain free (hopefully, hopefully) so I have to take things slow.

What this means: Well I'm not exactly sure. Birch Bay is going to have to be a no go--I'd like to say there is still a glimmer of hope I'd at least walk it, but in order to avoid injury it will most likely be a no go. As for Vancouver....well that's still to be determined. I might try to downgrade to the 8K or I might walk most of the half.

Thanks to all for rides to the doctor and encouragement. I'm looking foward to cheering you on at the Birch Bay Race.

Happy training!

Heids

Mr. Bay, Andy. Andy, Mr. Bay.

Mr. Bay,

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK! Thought you'd done away with me for good by taking out my knee? Think again. We're in the 20-something-th Century now. We've got doctors for everything, and can replace just about everything else, knees, hips, brains, you name it. Not to mention steroids, HGH, and drugs. Lots of drugs. With such a great team, I'm unstoppable. You can't get rid of me this easily.

You. Me. March 29. Bring it on.

Give Tonya my regards.

Sincerely,

-Andy
