Bob Anderson's Race Listing

I was going to do a run today but decided to walk three miles instead. Actually I also run short on time which didn't help either. 12 days until the Double in Overland Park!

My normal Monday...walked three miles today splitting it up with lunch in the middle. Sore from yesterday but feeling good. I am a runner...I am getting past this situation! Running tomorrow...

Can't believe it...I ran a half marathon training run this morning on Los Gatos Trail with Michael...ran 1:52:21...leg is holding up! I just started running and kept going..

Good news finally...ran 3.2 miles at 8:53/mile pace. Best mile was 8:24. I soaked my leg in our pool for an hour before hand. I think it helped. Feel really out of shape but it is a start.

Another walking day but my leg is getting better. I am hoping to start running Sunday. I want to run six miles. It is going to be tight but I am still thinking I will be able to run the Overland Park Double...now how fast? That's another story...the photo? Me doing what I need to be doing...running!!!!!

Ten miles of walking today broken up into three parts. I am hoping to run six miles this weekend. Leg is better but not more than 80% yet. Running out of time to train for OP Double.

Got a good sports massage yesterday. This situation I have comes and goes. One minute it seems like it is solved and then the next minute it feels weird again. I need to get this situation behind me so I can start training. I am running (I wish) out of time. Walked 2 miles early and 3 miles with Rich at lunch.

After running four miles yesterday I decided to take it easy today. I walked five miles. Actually my leg is bothering me and I don't want to go back to ground zero. Hope I didn't over do it yesterday!

I met Michael at the Los Gatos Creek Trail this morning and I was planning on walking six miles. Michael was running 13 miles like what we have been doing the last seven weeks. At about the half mile mark I decided to try to run. At first it was not much but I kept with it. Before this morning I had not run more than one step in 13 days. But I kept going and ended up running four miles. In fact one mile was 8:52. My leg does not feel perfect, not even close, right now but I am glad I was able to do this. I ran another mile off and on. I covered ten miles in total. This brings my total to 35 miles so far for the week. I am a happy guy!!!

Day 13 of no running...I am going crazy. Am I every going to be able to run again? I walked 6.2 miles today. No matter what I am going to get in 30 miles of walking...and soon I will be running!!!!

I have been running for 51 years. I have run thousands of races. I ran 50 races in 2012. I ran the Pleasanton Double Road Race in December 2012, the first offcial Double Road Race in America. The Double is not just another race. The halftime between the legs (10k then 5k 105 minutes later) makes it a totally different event. Are you ready to experience a new feeling? What are you doing to do during our halftime? The Overland Park Double Road Race is the second Double in America. I will be there on the 10k starting line and then in the recovery zone with you. When we step to the starting line of the 5k our legs are not going to want to race again. But we will lift our legs and move forward. At the end you will feel something special. You have completed this new challenge. You have completed a Double Road Race. You will become one of the first runners in the world to have achieved this new challenge. I will be there right by your side. This is history in the making. You are now a Double Road Racer. The Overland Park Double Road Race 10k first leg starts at 7:30am June 30th in Corporate Woods. Have you told your running buddies about the Double? Or maybe you are afraid? It's new...it's different...and maybe you want to keep it a secret. But why not share? The secret is going to get out anyway. I am a lifetime runner who started running in Kansas in 1962. I went to Broadmore junior high, then Shawnee Mission West, and then Kansas State. I started running in 1962 and it became my life. Nothing was more important. When I watched the 1964 Olympics on our black and white tv in Overland Park I was inspired even more. Billy Mills is still the only american to win the Olympic Gold Medal in the 10,000. I watched and I was inspired. Billy Mills went to school in Kansas. He is my hero. He inspired me. So much so that I started a magazine at age 17 that became Runner's World. I built it to a circulation of 435,000 during the 18 years I published it. Runner's World helped the running boom grow. It is only fitting that Billy is our guest of honor. He is our official starter. Billy is celebrating his 75th birthday with us and the Kansas City Track Club is hosting his birthday party Friday night June 28th. You are invited to attend. Keep this our secret. If you finish the Double Road Race, you will be awarded a unique two-sided medal and if you place in the top five per five year age-group we will give you an even bigger medal. Billy Mills will personally give it to you. And if you place in the top three 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 plus we are going to give you money. Yes, real money. $5,000 in total is going to be given out in Overland Park. It is going to be a special weekend in Overland Park. Kansas is where I grew up and I am looking forward in seeing you there. Good running to you. If you would like to be part of a Ujena Fit Club Elite Racing team let me know. If you think you are going to win prize money, you have to sign up at the Ujena Fit Club. It is free, of course. Even you don't think you are going to win prize money you should sign up. Great way to stay in touch. I had not run for three weeks because of a leg issue. But I am back. I ran 13 miles Sunday on Father's Day, then had breakfast with my son. I am going to be ready to race June 30th. How about you?

Best of luck to all Bay to Breakers runners...WE RUN STRONG...

Good luck to everyone running the Bay To Breakers 12k in the morning. Wished I was running...
Bob Anderson 5/18/13 8:50 pm reply to comment

I have been running 13-16 miles on the weekend the last few weeks and I am loving it...
Bob Anderson 5/11/13 12:06 pm reply to comment

Back home...I still can not believe what happened in Boston. What kind of person or group of people do such a cowardly act?
Bob Anderson 4/16/13 7:51 pm reply to comment

We are all okay. Can not believe what happened. I was waiting for Michael to finish when the bombs went off. I found out later that he had just finished four minutes before. Our hearts go out to thosed who were killed or injuries. 4500 runners were not allowed to finish...
Bob Anderson 4/15/13 2:57 pmBob, so glad to hear that you, Michael
Patti Gurza Dully 4/16/13 8:20 am Amen. You guys are okay. This is really very upsetting.
karen dub 4/16/13 3:16 pm Glad to hear you're all okay.
Richard Stiller 4/15/13 3:19 pm reply to comment

Boston is an amazing city...Michael and I are ready to get this thing going...good luck to all Ujena Fit Club members running including Fernando Cabada and Christine Kennedy...lets do it!
Bob Anderson 4/14/13 8:09 amGood luck to you, Michael, Fernando, Christine and everyone else running Boston tomorrow!
Roger Wright 4/14/13 5:14 pm Good luck, all. Hope each of you hits your goal. Run smart.
Gary Funck 4/14/13 6:54 pm Good luck to Daniel Tapia also! Another fit club member. Think he is running...the second placer in the Double at Pleasanton.
Barry Anderson 4/15/13 5:30 am reply to comment

We are almost done with our new Double Road Race site. Going live on Thursday afternoon. Been very time consuming...
Bob Anderson 4/2/13 7:30 pm reply to comment

We are going to pick one Ujena Fit Club member of the month starting in April. This will be a member who is posting regularly, running races and posting them, and helping us spread the word.
