Two oceans in one week is a pretty big deal to an Iowa boy. Throw in the Rockies and it's been a scenic August. And I can't think of a better way to cap it off than a weekend in Virginia Beach at the Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon. Of course, it won't be the same without my Hood to Coast teammates boosting spirits or Stan waiting in the exchange zone, but I have my Forerunner 405, my Virtual Partner and several thousand runners to keep me company. In the couple hours I've been in town I've already met many of my fellow racers. And I'm sure to meet more now that I'm on my way to the Health & Fitness Expo, where my colleagues and I will be talking about the benefits of technology in training. If you're in Virginia Beach, stop by and say hi!
