Congratulations to Marist Running Alum (and, for those
keeping score at home, USATF Junior Nationals Alum) John Keenan for his
continued strong running. JK-Trey raced for the first time wearing the navy and
orange colors of the Bull City Track Club (Durham, N.C.). In the Carrboro Four
on the Fourth in suburban Chapel Hill, John got second overall in 21:01. Here
is his race report, sent via e-mail shortly after his race:
“I was a little disappointed I didn't
break 21, but I have had some issues with my right IT band since I switched
training shoes after the "Running of the Bulls" 8K that I finished
11th in, running 26:14. It's good to know that even after training for a while
on a tight muscle I can maintain pace. I'm looking forward to the Beat the Heat
5K on 7/26 in Winston-Salem, NC before I most likely take it easy before the
fall season. I'm looking at running the NC 10K Trail Championships in August
and then head into half marathon territory to try and drop my PR below 75:20.”
Our recently married old pal has been
doing some great running down in the south. Nicely done, JK-3!
