Breaking up in hard to do :(

After our 2.5 month training partnership, we are sad to announce that we are breaking up (although our research, studying, hanging out partnerships are still going strong). Specifically, Pam is right on track for the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco on October 21st, but Sarah has had to postpone her training by a month and a half and is now going to be running the Honolulu Marathon on December 9th. (Sarah saw one of the doctors associated with Team in Training who thinks that she should be back running in around 4 weeks.)

So what does this mean? Well, Pam will continue to train for San Francisco with the fall team - doing a 2hr and 45min run this Saturday! And Sarah will focus on resting, stretching, icing, and cheering Pam on from the sidelines. We think there will be some overlap in our training in late September and October when Sarah is just starting to get back into running and Pam is tapering down for her race. So, maybe this isn't so much of a end to our relationship as just some time off.

Thanks so much to everyone for your continued emotional and financial support!

Awww, that's too bad. This is why we need magical healing techniques that really work.

Some of the best acts had break ups--Destiny's Child and The Spice Girls--okay maybe they weren't great acts.

Stay healthy, Ladies, and take care of each other.
