I’m excited to announce that I have been asked to be a Captain for Team Chocolate Milk for 2014 (and the backpack makes it official — how sweet is that?). I did my first event for them earlier this year in RnR Arizona (recap here) and happy to say that we’ll be doing more fun events (like this one) throughout the year.
The first one is happening this weekend at the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon (and half). I’ll be hosting a shakeout run at 10am Saturday morning. It’ll be at a comfortable pace (for all) and last around 30 mins. around the Harbor Drive (which wraps around the San Diego Bay).
Shakeout Run
When: Saturday, May 31, at 10am
Where: Meet at the Chocolate Milk booth inside the Expo
Why: it’ll be a great way to socialize, and of course, to loosen up the legs for Sunday… but mostly let’s socialize. :)
Win things: Chocolate Milk will be giving away some cool swag (gear, visors, etc) and hosting a raffle for a VIP pass for Sunday’s race. And maybe I’ll have a couple RUN ALL DAY shirts.
I’ll be rocking the full distance for the second year in a row. As of right now I don’t have a major time goal, but I’ll be attempting to run a strong race and finish around 3:45. My PR is 3:37, but I’m training for a 52.4 mile race in July (details and giveaway here), and this will be a great way to build up towards that.
Selfies
It’s race weekend, so that means we are going to be taking pictures like crazy. I’ll be rocking my Chocolate Milk gear most of the weekend, so if you spot me be sure to say hi. And while we’re at it, let’s take a selfie.
I’m looking to have A LOT of fun this weekend. Running doesn’t always have to be about breaking PR’s or pushing it aggressively… sometimes it can just be about having fun with friends, internet ones especially included.
Will I see you in San Diego?
Thats awesome that you’re captain this year. Congrats. Hope the shakeout run and race goes well.
Congrats! Hope you have a great race!

First congrats man! Second, I hope I get to see you! There’s a conflicting shakeout run at 9:30… ugh! I need to get a selfie with you doing the Shaka!
So cool! Save some leaves for me! :) But really, what a rad opportunity! Wish I could meet you and others there for the run!
Congrats! Good luck!! Love that your little one was trying to help :)
Awesome, congrats! Wish I was heading down to San Diego with you! I miss my old home (and that race. It was my first 1/2 ever!)
Congrats! They couldn’t have picked a better captain!
I won’t be doing the shake out run, but I hope to see you at the expo (I expect I’ll be behind you in the actual race :-) ). Congrats, Captain!
I’ll be there! I hope I can join the shakeout run :)
Congrats and totally deserved. I wish I was on the side of the country to celebrate with ya!
How fun and CONGRATS!!! Rock your run this weekend!
If I had known, I would have gifted you a pile of paperbacks to dish out. The premise is a saturday, RnR San Diego Marathon shake-out run gone bad. (next year maybe). Enjoy!!!
Congrats!!! You’re gonna be a great Captain! And thanks for the link to your fundraiser on crowdrise. I just donated. Hope to see you in SF. My buddy Roger is also running the 52.4. I’m registered for the full but might have to drop back to the half due to injury but not making a decision until the expo =) Lastly, HAVE A GREAT TIME IN SAN DIEGO!!!!
This is amazing. I would love to get to run with you. You;ll be a great Captain!
