The Chicago Marathon Is Alomst Here!...

Some of you may know that I like to run. I'm currently in training for the Chicago Marathon which is 24 days away. In honor of that and Throwback Thursday here is my THREE RUN TWO running mixtape playlist. Cheers!

June, You So Crazy...

I haven't done a personal update post in a long time.  Mid June seems like a good time to start.  Be warned This post will involve mostly running stuff.  Lets begin.

To kick off June and prepare myself for the Ragnar Relay race from Madison, Wisconsin to Chicago a couple of guys and myself from the Three Run Two running Club decided to run to all the major Chicago stadiums.  Our route was US Celluar to Soldier Field to United Center to Wrigley Field.  In the end we ran somewhere between 18-19 miles.  It was a very fun and challenging day.  

During that same week I had three video projects I shot make their debut at the Indie Incubator Film Fest.   If you haven't been to this festival you should check it out at least once.  It's a great time.   

After that fun.  Ragnar was here.  My first leg into Ragnar I decided I absolutely regretted my decision. I had to run 10 miles in the 97 degree direct sunlight heat.  The next leg I ran was at 2am.  It was a lot more fun, but almost completely pitch black.  My third leg I was completely sold on the experience. Once I finished, showered and had a chance to regroup my sanity I decided I loved every minute of it and would absolutely do it again.

The finish line.

I washed some clothes and DJ a set a Simone's and then it was off the NYC for a bridge the gap runners meet up.  Running crews from all over the globe met up to run, party, celebrate 10 year anniversary of the Bridgerunners, party, and then party some more.  I had so much fun. 

Williamsburg Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge

I met the only other Intel I will recognize.  

Got to see and meet Ricky Powell.

Saw the Brewers lose to The Mets.

Charlie Dark of Run Dem Crew.

The last run of the meet up.  

Sometimes your run involves a cable car.  Spider-Man did not show up.  Jerk.

A bridge before we hit Nas' home and the Queen's Bridge.

I got back home to Chicago then went up to Wisconsin to play a private party.  I was a blast so much fun.  On the way back home I decided to run a trail race with the good folks at Muddy Monk.  The trail we ran was great and had a decent amount of technical stuff to it.   I did pretty well and had a blast.  

At the finish.

Now it's time to rest and get ready for Chicago Marathon training which starts for me next week.  Cheers!

It's Almost Ragnar Time...

Next weekend I'm running from Madison, Wisconsin to Chicago with my Three Run Two friends for Ragnar.  If you live in between here and there come cheer us on.

We Run Tings!...

On Chicago's Southside, three men stand at a paint table cranking out the day's order- 175 supermarket signs in the city's signature colors: Red, blue, and yellow. Regardless of the painter, each sign is identical in lettering; This can beattributed to a decade of apprenticing under Robert Petrizo, creator of the one of a kind block supermarket type. Despite an overrun in technology and its cheaper and quicker ways, these hand-painted butcher paper signs can still be seen exclusively throughout Chicago's neighborhoods. 

We sought out these sign painters to create two pieces that are representative of our crew, city, and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Below is the first, which pays homage to a detail that is present in all 29 neighborhoods along Chicago's 26.2 mile route- The SUPERMARKET SIGN. 

Shirt and one of a kind hand-painted sign will be available for pre-order on 8/7. ‪#‎3RUN2‬ ‪#‎CHICAGORUNNING‬

STAY TUNED.
