Mountain to Fountain 15k

Saturday was a great race day for Achilles Scottsdale. We had 11 team members show up to run the Mountain to Fountain 15K. Since we don't have official team shirts, Angela had the great idea that we wear St. Paddy's Day shirts. The busses dropped us off in the McDowell Mountain Park and we hung out and chatted together until the race began. The race took us through the park into Fountain Hills and ended at the Fountain.
We didn't win our weight in ...

We just wanted to give a big shout out to Brooke, Angela, Darius, Torsten, Sandy and Colleen who braved the crazy weather and completed the IMS Half Marathon this past Sunday. Brooke, Angela and Torsten PR'd and Darius now has his first half under his belt:) Colleen and Sandy should win an award for their enthusiasm and consistency! We are so amazed by your awesome finish! Brooke's time was 2:04 and Angela's finishing time was 2:15. Go Achilles!

Our First Workout

(Actual Post Date: Jan 24th 2011)

On Saturday we had a wonderful group come together for a 4 mile run. It was so nice to have new members join the group. We gathered, made introductions, chatted and then began our run. The group broke off depending on pace. Some ran the whole 4 miles, some ran less, but everyone was happy! It is so nice to have all levels out there. After we finished the run, Angela and Brooke (both who have a visual impairment) gave us some great advice on how to best g...
