My copy of Again to Carthage arrived this week, so I gave it a read through. It is a very different book than Once a Runner. You can read and enjoy Carthage without having read the first book, (which is good as it still costs in the hundreds of dollars,) and fans of the first [...]

Photo by NCBrianWhen was the last time that you visited your doctor? Were you sick, or were you just getting a checkup? Any time that you visit a fitness website, they always recommend that you visit your doctor before starting a new program and that you keep your doctor informed of what you are doing. [...]

This Week Last Year: Fusion and Time Off

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, November 24th, 2007 | No Comments

This week last year was mostly centered around local news, but there were a few articles that were worth revisiting. Scott continued our themed articles by discussing common weight lifting injuries.

By Blaine Moore on Sunday, November 18th, 2007 | No Comments

The Hannaford Turkey Trot 5k was this morning in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It was a beautiful day to run, and I wish that I had been. I got to help the kids get through their fun run at 8:30, though, and then got to take chips off of people’s ankles behind the finish line. It [...]
