Another Wild Ride by Christie Thomas #17658 “Boston, here we go again,” was my first thought on Monday morning when I attempted to leave my hotel to get my pre-race cup of Starbucks coffee. A torrential rain greeted me as

@savbrook ran a new PR yesterday of 1:46 at the @route66marathon after PRing the Chicago Half Marathon at the end of September. Chicago is flat and fast and Route 66 is HILLY and hard. This just proves a PR can happen on any course. She is a mom of two (1 & 2 year old), a previous collegiate athlete, and all around STUD! Congrats Savannah 🎉.
. . . . 
@sethrobearden ran a 3:50 marathon coming within a min or so of his marathon PR. The best part is that his marathon was a workout. He is racing Dallas Marathon in 3 weeks and we used @route66marathon to prep for Dallas. . 
Note: Seth would have beat his PR but he took the Center of the Universe detour which offers runners a unique opportunity to run an extra . 3 miles (and complete the World's Shortest Ultramarathon). Seth is a ultramarathoner, he's always willing to run all the miles all the time, this training cycle we challenged him to really dial in his training and do marathon specific. I think it's safe to say we are on the right path. Congrats 🎉 Seth !!!!

Thank  you @stephrothstein for the run and @redcoyoterunning for this photo. The best part about this picture is that we all share the same bond. In this photo there is a 2:27 marathoner to walkers pursuing their first ever marathon. But we will forever be bonded over the sport we love no matter what time you put up on the clock. ❤️ #runningisforeveryone

Thank you @stephrothstein @hokaoneone & @redcoyoterunning for this awesome event. "The race isn't supposed to be easy. It's not meant to be easy. You don't do the training to make the race easy.  You train to tolerate the pain in the race." - Steph Bruce 👏🏻

San Diego, California. #medalmonday

Lulu sure knows how to put on a fun race event. Our WAHOO! babes crushed it yesterday. After @oubeckyc put in the training for a half marathon in October and fell short of her race goals, she received some devastating news that may sideline her from running for a good chunk of time. 😣

This lululemon 10k in San Diego with one of her besties @rochellegbrown came at the perfect time. Becky ran her heart out as if it's the last time she'll race for awhile. The truth is, it may very well be. Despite all this, she ran a 10k in 59 mins and had a very strong performance. .
She may be sidelined for awhile to fix her knees but she should always know her WAHOOs will be here for her every step (literally) of the way. We got your back, Becky! Time to get healthy and come back stronger than ever. #thisiswahoo

WAHOO! heads to Greece to run the historic Athens Marathon. We are excited for Cathy O. and her buddies who have the privilege to run the original marathon!  It’s a challenging course as a good chunk of the race travels uphill, but that’s okay…they’re in GREECE! This is more of an experiential marathon. A marathon to soak up the history and be in awe.

Speaking of history, do you know the history of the marathon? Pheidippides did not run 26.2 miles and die. In 490 B.C., he ran approximately 25 miles from a battlefield near Marathon to Athens, to announce the Greeks defeated the Persians. He uttered the word “Nikk” (victory) then died.

The first 7 Olympic Marathons covered 6 different distances. There was no standard. It wasn’t until the 1908 London Olympics that the 26.2 distance was established. The London Olympic course was originally established at 26 miles, but Queen Alexandra wanted the runners to finish in front of the royal family’s box at White City Stadium which boosted the distance 385 yards or .2 miles. So, we have the Queen to thank for the bonus distance. In fact, some exclaim, “God save the Queen!” during the final mile of the race because of this.

The IAAF adopted the 1908 distance as the official distance for the marathon in 1921. This is the history of the 26.2 miles most of us love so dearly.

Good luck, Cathy & Co.! Remember to start slow, run fast, and always WAHOO!
