Hey
Last week Maggie and I went to Fleet Feet and she bought some new running shoes. We bought the Brooks Trance 12. Fleet Feet was very kind in allowing us to return some compression socks that we had bought in January but didn't use which allowed us to purchase these shoes. They also deserve kudos for allowing us to feed Abby while there.
Happy Running!

post shamrock run
Hey everyone
The shuffle was a success! No injuries, a great running partner, and a great post race meal that included some Amstel Light! I'm not sure about the corral style but since I'm slow as ever, I don't think it matters. The course was a little different which was fun.
- Fleet Feet has a whole lot going on. The Ravenswood 5K is coming up and I hope we can max out the race as the money goes to the All Saints food pantry and Amundsen High School health center. Just click on the link and sign up.

race updates
Hey everyone
Fleet Feet has set up its race schedule. There are some fun ones like the Soldier Field 10 miler and the Ravenswood 5K.
The weather will hopefully break so you can go out and run a few miles in the next couple of weeks.

marathon, fall runs and more
Hey everyone
I just wanted to let you know that I finished the Detroit Marathon. You will see that I am way down at the bottom with a finish time of 5:54:31. It was slow and steady with the temp in the 80's and the memory of Chicago a couple weeks ago was fresh in the head.
I want to thank my beautiful wife Maggie for putting up with me and the craptastic hotel I chose (procrastination once again reared its power on me). She met me at various points and handled the city of Detroit while waiting for me to finish. She took some pictures that are up on her myspace page. She also was able to finish a good book named Into the Wild.
Speaking of Detroit, it is in bad shape. There are abandoned buildings everywhere. But the optimist in me screams that it could be redeveloped with the awesome waterfront and a decent downtown.
I received lots of good luck wishes and want to say thanks. With work, and school, and soccer, there were a few times I thought about just not doing it. But those wishes kept me from quitting and I want to say thank you and to keep that in mind how far a good word can carry someone. For me it was to the finish line of my second marathon.
This Sunday I will be running the Gargoyle Gallop in Hyde Park (63rd and LSD). The money goes towards tutoring children. The website for the race is http://www.gargoylegallop.org/
Along with this race, Fleet Feet's website shows the race calendar with many more races for the year.
Nova is doing a documentary on training non-marathoners to run the Boston marathon. I went to a special screening last week at Northwestern and it looks like it will be a good show and that we can all learn something from it. It will be shown this coming Tuesday Oct 30 on WTTW Channel 11. Check listings for time.
As always, please pass on this info and blog to others that might be interested and if you want to be included/excluded from the dist list, let me know. Also, if you know of any other info I can post on the blog, let me know and keanemd@gmail.com .

running this past weekend
Hey
The nice long run this past weekend made me realize one of the main reason why I run in the first place; the energy that is shown by others while I am running giving me more energy to run!
I passed by the Avon Walk for Cancer walkers (they went by my house), kids playing sports, families taking bike rides and walks, and countless barbeques. All these things made me feel that running was a priveledge and to pass on the good energy by encouraging others.
I am going to be doing the Chicago Distance Classic. Is anyone else doing it? I'd like to hear from you!
So make sure you get outside this summer. You never know who your participation in activities will inspire to do the same.
Oh, the school social worker Jose Nebrida did the Montana and Wyoming marathons this weekend. He is amazing!

Ravenswood 5K results
Hey everyone
The race went really well. The weather was great. The support was great. We even had dignitaries (Congressman Emanual) cheering us on!
I finished in 28 minutes which is a little slow for me. I'll have to work on that.
Thanks to all the volunteers and the staff at Fleet Feet.
