'Tis the season of racing in the middle east. In the past few weeks, everywhere you go you seem to notice an advertisement to come root for your favorite horse, formula 1 car, or camel as it makes its way around a track. We can't help it that we, too, have the racin' fever. After a long, 4-month-and-many-frustrated-tears-setback of Heidi's hurt foot (which was officially diagnosed as "having flat feet" ... and it takes 8+ years of medical school to stumble across that revelation!?!?), we are both back up and raring to race.
We have joined race season in full stride (badambum) and signed up for two up-coming races: The Dubai Desert Dash 10k and the Singapore Run350 21k. We are glad to have more of a focus at our time at the gym and have had fun planning the travel to accompany our runs. We might not have anyone betting on us at our races but we will do our utmost to finish strong, regardless.

A scan of Heidi's feet. The doctor laughed after looking at the scan and quickly ordered her into custom (read expensive) orthodics. |

Adam's new running kicks. Thank you clearance sales because the original price-tag of $180 US was a little out of our price range. |

With the cool weather we just did our first run outside since AUGUST. It was a great day to run on the Arabian gulf. |

Heidi felt a little grumpy after the run. All that time lost = a very challenging 5 miles. |
