February training is going well out here in the nice Arizona weather… the Racelab team I train with has been very fortunate to have Trakkers’ infamous Carole Sharpless out here for a while.. she is our new honorary Racelab member.. the team has been training well and pushing me hard as I work to get ready for an upcoming race in St George.. then time to focus on the Rev3 races..

My new saucony shoes came in the mail – the Saucony Tangent 4 and have done some great runs in them including a hard fast track workout last night as I get ready for my 4 hour mountainous ride saturday and my 1/2 marathon race sunday (crazy I know).. The shoes are awesome – they are comfortable and needed no break in time. If you need a good pair of light training shoes these are definitely ones to try out…

Also I wanted to send some notes out about some new sponsors/partners of racelab .. Michelob Ultra, Bareskin, Towels, Max Muscle Scottsdale, and the Ron Pina Agency of Farmers Insurance -.. check these guys out.. I will be sending more info on them later about the great products & services they offer…

Now it is time to go swim and work on getting those gills…
