Carrera de los Muertos 5K 2012

Erica and Fuzzy finally get around to talking about a race they ran two weeks ago--the Soldier Field 10 Mile.

It's another "talking in the car on the way back from the race" podcast, with Fuzzy and Erica and our special guest Zach Freeman. We all ran the inaugural Super Sunny 5K in Burbank, IL, a benefit for Garden Center Services.

We have our full complement of runners, Erica, Kristen, Shaun, and Fuzzy, AND special guest Claire Zulkey, riding in a car and reviewing the nighttime novelty run, the Rave Run 5K.

Fuzzy and Erica ran the Shamrock Shuffle 8K--popularly considered the start of Chicago's outdoor running season.

Fuzzy ran his first successful marathon in New Orleans at the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. Erica came along for support (and public drinking).

Fuzzy is joined by special guests Zach Freeman and Antonio Garcia as the three of them undertake to run three races in one day, to total a half-marathon. Sorry about the sound quality: we recorded this in a car driving down the highway. This is the third of three podcasts we recorded that day, recorded just after we finished the last race: the Channahon Park District's Frosty 5 Mile, held in Channahon, Illinois.

Fuzzy is joined by special guests Zach Freeman and Antonio Garcia as the three of them undertake to run three races in one day, to total a half-marathon. Sorry about the sound quality: we recorded this in a car racing down the highway while sleet poured down. This is the second of three podcasts we recorded that day, recorded just after we finished the second race: the Muddy Monk's Frozen Five, held in Poplar Creek Forest Preserve, Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The race was a 5.3 mile trail run (the course was lengthened because the original 5 mile route was determined to be unsafe from the weather).

Shaun and Fuzzy made the journey all the way to Istanbul, Turkey to run a 15K with our friend Matt during the Istanbul Marathon.

Erica and Fuzzy ran the Carrera de los Muertos (the Race of the Dead) in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago.
