By Blaine Moore on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 | No Comments
Last night, I asked whether or not you would give your medical information to a race before running it, since that is what is being requested by the organizers of the Beach to Beacon this year.

Tonight there was perfect running conditions for a good time, so it surprised me that there were still over 100 people that showed up to the starting line this evening!

USATF CEO Douglas Logan has written an open letter to President Bush urging him not to pardon Marion Jones for her illegal and unethical activities over the past decade. I can not agree with him more and I plan on writing to the white house with my thoughts on the matter. Marion Jones broke the [...]
