About Us

A little blurb about us:

Celina (Cel)...

Running shoe: I am running in Brooks Ghost shoe

Personal "pump up" song: Metric Fantasies- Gold Guns Girls

Favorite post-run drink: Sierra Nevada Torpedo, 

And eats?: The ever classic burger

Most embarrassing running moment: Not sure about my most embarrassing moment running but hey we still have 4 more months of training I am sure something will happen!

Kim...

Running shoe: Adidas Supernova Glide - first time in Adidas since the 8th grade and I love them! 

Personal "pump up" song: Eye of the Tiger....I live in Philly, so it's a must! 

Favorite post run drink: Long Trail IPA

And eats: Pizza, Pizza, Pizza

Most embarrassing running moment: I started sobbing in the middle of a terrible 18-miler while running on the Chicago Lakefront after seeing a dragonfly that reminded me of my just-passed grandmother. There was some sort of regatta going on in the harbor so about 50 people came up to me to see if I was okay. 

Ally...

Running shoe: Asics Gel Nimbus

Personal "pump up" song: "Applause" by Lady Gaga

Go-to post run drink: BEER. Doesn't matter what kind. 

And eats?: As for post run food, does chocolate milk count? 

Most embarrassing running moment: Isn't there a saying that if you haven't pooped your pants you're not a true runner? So, I must not be a 'true' runner just yet, but I have peed my pants at the end of a very hot and humid half. However, I finished in under 2 (my goal), so it was worth it (maybe). Can anyone else top that one?

Lora...

Running shoe: Brooks Ghost

Personal "pump up" song: "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen. So predictable, so cheesy, yet works every time. 

Favorite post run drink: SO MUCH BEER. Bell's Oberon or Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' are my go-tos.

And eats: A giant burger, cooked bloody rare with a mountain of fries on the side.

Most embarrassing running moment: Once after a 20 mile training run, I had to rush to meet a friend who was in town for just a couple hours and didn't have time to eat beforehand. I ended up getting so drunk after ONE beer (it was a delirium tremens, but still!) that I forgot my mother was coming in to visit, stumbled home to find her there waiting, started drunk crying because I felt so bad that I was that drunk in front of my mom, made her go get me french fries, then fell asleep in my clothes while eating them. Moral of the story? Eat BEFORE that post run beer.
