goofy questions about the profiles submitted by US Olympic Marathon Trials athletes

got some new winter running mittens

Habtamu Cheney just graduated from college and ran a 63:19 half marathon debut (20 seconds shy of the US Trials standard) and then followed that up with a 2:16:12 marathon debut. But he’s got an enormous amount of upside, now that he’s gotten into the Conner Mantz group chat and is being coached by Ed Eyestone. In this conversation, we talk about how he’s feeling with the US Marathon Trials in Orlando just two weeks away, what shoes he’s been training in, and what he’ll be racing in.

restocked on some of my running nutrition favorites. also, we actually talked a lot about running shoes.

unboxing something to celebrate the year of the dragon. also, an update on the neighborhood watch situation

discussing the difference between regular Salomon and S Lab Salomon. also considering alternatives for the phrase, lace garage.

I don't think there's a race out there that gives out as much stuff to its racers as Houston. In this episode, we'll go over everything I brought back home from the race, in addition to a couple extra things I picked up from the kofuzi run club in Houston and from the expo.

Got a package from New Balance. I think it's what I think it is.

Also, if you'll be in Houston this weekend, there will be a shakeout at 10am at 105 Sabine along the river. I'd love to run with you there!
