Sorry!

I've been out of town a ton for work, so that explains my absence from here. A lot more to come with my (lack of) running updates and the Italianfest 5K race recap from this past weekend. Thought I would throw out a few articles I have been saving. First, my buddy Stephen Pifer won his half marathon debut over in Oregon Wine Country! Great run for him, and hopefully someday he will venture into longer distances. Next, Haile is a stud and will be a huge force for NYC after this huge victory at the Great North Run 1/2. For local runners, thought this was awesome - the Lewis and Clark Marathon (in St. Charles) will be converted to a Rock 'n Roll event next year! Finally, the Philly Rock 'n Roll 1/2 was yesterday - disappointing result for Ryan Hall, but still only a step for the ultimate goal - Chicago.

Running has been crap, so I'll go into this more later when I get a free moment. Raced on Saturday - ran 18:23 for 6th overall, 2nd in my age group. Probably should have finished 5th, but was trying not to completely die out there. Pleased with my time nonetheless given what little I have done lately. More to come soon...
