![]() Bev's amazing! She's a committed mom, but she still trains for and competes in long distance races. She's targeting some 10-mile and half-marathons during her buildup to the London Marathon, which is held in April. Ran a personal best on a 10-mile course in England last month, so she's on a roll. After illness, it's hard to have full strength, as most runners know. I told him to run the race without "burying" himself in the process. He's been sick recently, so that's a concern. He's running a half-marathon this weekend as a test of his fitness. He's super busy coaching his collegiate team, but he still training for the Rock N Roll Half-Marathon in Phoenix, which is scheduled for January. Justin GarardĪ collegiate coach, ran 14: meters on the track in June in Portland, Oregon and competed successfully in some big road races in or near Kansas City this summer. He's targeting the USATF Half-Marathon road race championships, which will be held in Houston in January. He beat a Kenyan who has run 3:56 for the mile and 14:00 for 5,000m on the track. Who lives in Wichita, Kansas, set a new best on the roads for 10 km (30:36) and just this past weekend ran the fastest half-marathon ever in Kansas (1:06:51) with negative splits. He's been in the mid 16s for 5000 meters recently and in the 33s for 10km, so I am sure he'll be hard to beat. Wow! He will race the 8 km cross-country events, the 10,000 meters on the track, and the half-marathon road race. He flew over 30 hours to get there this past weekend. This week he's racing in three events in the World Veterans Atheltics Championships in Brazil. He won three European titles last winter. Of Sweden, set some more Swedish records (he's set so many the last two years that we have worked together I lose track of the details after awhile). He ran a 15:52 local 5km race (near Kansas City), a 10km race in 33:23 (hilly course), won the Masters National 5 km road race in Syracuse in 15:51 for his age division and was age-graded 2nd behind a guy who ran mid 16s as a 56 year old (Kevin will be age 52 in December). Won the USATF Masters Championships 1500m in Olathe, Kansas in 4:25 (the 50-54 age group) and was faster than about 95% of the runners in the younger age groups. Several runners have achieved greatness in their personal pursuit of running excellence the last few weeks. ![]() Grace has a full year to break her own records, since she will not turn age 13 until July of 2017. She returned the next day to run a world age group record for a full 2-miles, a time of 10:28, beating Jordan Hassay's record by 3 seconds. ![]() Grace ran a world age group record (13 and under) for the 5,000m on Friday night, a time of 16:44.8.
