former GU track All-American on winter running

[millerj9]

"Four years in my late 20s were spent chasing an uncommon pursuit that made winter running a very common occurrence.

I trained year-round in Orono hoping to earn a spot on the Irish National Track and Field Team. A strange, but not entirely quixotic quest.

A three-time All-American at Georgetown University and 100- percent Irish runner (read: nuts), I eventually earned a spot on the Irish team in 1999 after getting my Irish citizenship and taking a leave from my job. "

Interesting find. I think she should be breaking out the Georgetown sweats pretty soon.

I don't remember Deidre Fleming on the track team. Anybody remember her? She does give some good advice. I number my shoes instead of date them and alternate between three or four pairs. The wicking capabilities of these new fabrics is supposed to be pretty good, but I am cheap and still wear the t-shirts that I get in races. I did receive a wicking shirt for Christmas, but unfortunately it is too small, so I had to go back to wearing layers of cotton shirts.

I asked for some winter running gear for Christmas, and I definitely got it, both the wicking shirt and tights and some decent shell pieces, as well as new gloves and a hat. Well worth it, though the weather in DC has been considerably mild since the holidays.
