My friends are faster than your friends :)

Loving Tuesday mornings!  The Dukes Track Club is a collection of post-collegiate distance runners.  We train for races ranging from 5k to 100milers.  Tuesdays have been early morning track workouts up at Academy, the only place in town with trees, grass, and sprinklers.  The turnout is bigger and bigger each week, and it truly is amazing to have a group to train with and inspire me.  The greatest thing is that everyone supports each other, and is thrilled when the other is doing well or has a good workout.  Support is everything!  There are a bunch of races coming up for us all, Seawheeze half marathon, US Marathon Champs at Twin Cities, St. George and Skagit marathons, and Western States 100miler to name a few.

All is well in Arizona.

Check out this article on fellow Dukes Track Club member Kris Houghton and his thirteen month old daughter Alma.

The pair now hold the world record for the fastest half marathon run with a baby jogger.  Note that there are rules...the baby jogger has to be commercially available and mass produced, available to the general public.  The road tires pumped to 100psi are sold separately 

Go Dukes!  Alma does not look impressed.

All in all, EXCELLENT weekend with friends and fellow runners.  PRs, world records, first time racers, and star sightings (Desi Davila)...but in the end, great company and tons of fun.  More to come on the actual "race" later!
