I know it sounds like there have been a lot of post-marathon celebrations lately; in fact, it seems like we've been celebrating forever, and it will soon be pre-marathon/training season again! But seriously, I swear this is the last one! And this was the official post-marathon party for the Calhoun Beach Running Club members (and friends). Hosted by a long-time running club member who has a spacious condo in a great Uptown location, this party has definitely become a club tradition. It was open to all the runners, past and present, whether you ran a fall marathon or not, yet the drinks were definitely planned for those who did run fall marathons.
For example:
"The Office" Punch (Michael Scott approved) for the Steamtown runners:
a Flirtini for the San Francisco marathon runners:
a "Choke Cherry River Rat" for the Sioux Falls Marathon
(for which my friend Amber did a guest post race review- read about it HERE)
Summit beer for the Twin Cities Marathoners, who conquered the hills of Summit Avenue,
Grainbelt beer for the Mankato Marathon (which of course, our coach WON- read about it HERE)
Labatt Blue for the Toronto Marathon,
and Goose Island beer for the Chicago marathon.
I'm expecting a good German beer next year after we run Berlin!
It was wonderful to catch up with all the run club members and discuss future race plans. It sounds like Green Bay WI, London, Chicago, Newport OR, and of course Boston are on many runners' schedules.
And how about these shoes?
Failed Fit? You decide.
Thanks to all those who helped to plan this fun event!
