Run at the Rock 2009!!

Anyone living in North Carolina knows that Saturday was a cold and rainy day. Despite the weather and being one person down we went forward on all cylinders, hitting what I call the "fifth gear." Don't get me wrong though, we were all scared to DEATH of what the trail would deliver. Turns out the trail delivered 7 miles of what most consider to be a slip and slide of mud. But we made sure that we recieved our money's worth of mud and dirt (check out the header pic of my 2140 trail shoes).



It was great to see Amy just rock (literally) her first trail race. We are so proud of her!! Her Cascadia trail shoes are no longer teal and I am sure they no longer have that new shoe smell.



As for Olivier he rocked it as well with a time of 1:52 for the 14 mile race, placing him 18th. He was the only one of us to brave the 14 miler, while I opted out and just did the 7 miler. All in all we had an awesome time!

"Here Amy is thinking....I am going to kill Lee for talking me into this race!!"

Preparing for Sunday's Trail Run

Tomorrow morning brings us a trail run of epic proportions!! We are preparing for the Run at the Rock trail race and waking up early weighs heavy on my mind. This picture helps describe how I prepare for such an occassion.

In the words of Todd Shields, "My occupation is to BRING IT!"

What's on your Feet?? Shoe of the Week (week 3)

If you join in on a trail run you are sure to see wide variety of kicks. But when it comes to the trail and Mega Milers you are sure to see the Brooks Cascadia 4. The ladies of Omega pull this bad boys off with style!! These shoes eat the trail for brunch, and without a doubt can eat up a dance floor as well.

Rumor has it that if Forrest Gump decided to run across the country again he would choose to wear some Cascadias. If you were to google "Jack Bauer Cascadia" on you tube you would witness Sir Jack running down a bad guy in the National Mall of Washington DC, and yes he would be wearing Cascadias. Heck, my dog Nershi would want a pair of Cascadias if they came in his size. Well in due time my little one, in due time!

So when you see Amy or Crystal be sure to check out their "kick a kicks"!

So clean off those trail shoes and join us at the Harrison Avenue entrance at 10:15 or at Omega Sport at 10....what can I say, we like to sleep in!!!
