After successfully completing our first half marathon- the Rock n' Roll Las Vegas, we realized that we enjoyed destination races, which blends Eddie's love of travel and Melissa's love of new experiences. May our journey challenge, strengthen us, and inspire others to do more than they ever thought possible.

Happy New Year - 3 miles!
We kicked off the new year with a healthy 3 mile run! Despite the short distance, it was suprisingly challenging after returning from a month off. Our next half will take place along the rolling pastures, farm animals, and vineyards of Santa Barbara. Unlike our previous night time run, this one will be in the morning followed by a music and wine festival with unlimited wine tastings in a Danish town, Solvang. We have a rigorous but doable training schedule, adding a mile each week ending in 7 miles by month end. In February, we'll begin running with our group again. Eddie's goal is to beat his previous time. My goal is to complete this half marathon with less pain and a quicker recovery. While we considered a local race, we love the excitement of a destination race, a getaway with a goal in mind. Santa Barbara here we come!
