You’ve got your whole life to do something, and that’s not very long.”
We appologize for the terribly long break since our last posts. It is funny how life gets in the way of all kinds of things. Turns out life is the important thing and all the other stuff is, well, just stuff.
Summer has been good for the Pirañas. Not much real racing, but a lot of training and a lot of fun.
One of the ‘fun’ things that happened was Brother Mav and wife Angie running the Tulsa Route 66 Quarter Marathon and 5K (they ran both) together. Not satisfied to run two races in one day, on their anniversary, they decided to dress the part:
Currently the team is training for the Bourbon Chase Relay in Kentucky.
The Bourbon Chase is a unique, overnight relay adventure in which teams of runners cover 200 miles of scenic byways along the famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Participants will experience the best of Kentucky. Starting near Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World, and wrapping up with a festive finish in downtown Lexington, the Horse Capital of the World, The Bourbon Chase will treat runners to gorgeous horse farms and the rolling Bluegrass countryside. And, as the event name implies, the featured attraction of the race will be the Kentucky Bourbon Trail which links the state’s legendary distilleries.
So, the race is for teams of 6 to 12 people. We are taking 5! Each piraña will be running about 40 miles. We will be bloging during the race, so stay tuned!
Meanwhile, we train. Tomorrow is 2 runs of 8 miles each.
