I set up this blog to allow us to communicate about our training, encourage one another, talk about injuries, how chaffed your nipples got on the last big run, maybe a picture of Dave Minner's sculpted 6 pack abs to motivate us to be all we can be.... just something to let us communicate during the time up until the race.
For me, I am interested in how my body will react to the training, so I will probably post my mileage and running times and also some of my body's vitals, like resting heart rate, blood pressure, and weight.
Anything goes, just be creative and have fun with it. I think this will be an experience worth documenting for all of us. Even if all you do is read the blog, make sure you make comments on the posts that are made. Although it is still a ways off, I am excited. I think this is going to be fun.

All,
ReplyDeleteI know Jen and I are looking into taking Friday and Monday off bookending the race. We are planning on getting our plane tickets in the near future. Are you guys interested in trying to fly in around the same time?
Let me know
I am going to post my workouts and track my weight...
ReplyDeleteJordan,
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in making travel arrangments with you, Jen, and everyone else. Please let me know when you are booking flights and with what airline. I also didn't know if you realized this, but Jan. 16 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, so you may already get that Monday off of work : )
Jess and I are going to go together but I'll probably plan to travel with ya'll because it will make the experience that much more fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know when we are looking.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get MLK day off. It is a fake holiday.
jessie looked into flights and saw that flights from dayton to phoenix are about $200 per person roundtrip if you leave friday and come back monday. she said that from cinci to phoenix was about $400 and columbus to phoenix may also be more money as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brett and Jesse.
ReplyDeleteI know we will be looking to fly a particular airline because Jen has a voucher that needs to be used.
