Such was the case with today&#8217;s race, where sprint specialist Doug Landau was going to be running over a half-marathon in total distance.  Rather than run with other lawyers at the Scottsdale Convention site, Triathlon Trial Lawyer Doug Landau chose to run in the competitive 34th Annual Runners Den 5k and 10k races in Phoenix, Arizona.  To do so successfully, the Herndon sports injury lawyer had to contend with <!--more-->the time change, jet lag, racing twice in the same morning and a busy CLE schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Landau, who has won a number of prizes in lawyer and law meeting sports events, opted to take on local racers and compete in the &#8220;Double Down&#8221; competition.  Melissa and Doug&#8217;s &#8220;Double Down&#8221; entry fee went to several good causes, one of which was &#8220;Girls on the Run&#8221; (&#8220;GTR&#8221;). Doug has participated in &#8220;Girls on the Run&#8221; events on the East Coast, and this was an opportunity to support GOTR in the SouthWest.  The objective of Girls on the Run is to educate and empower girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future. At risk activities include substance\/alcohol use, eating disorders, early onset of sexual activity, sedentary lifestyle, depression, suicide attempts and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.
