My First Attempt at Back to Back Marathons

By Blaine Moore on Thursday, September 30th, 2010 | 6 Comments

This weekend I’m going to try something new by running the New Hampshire Marathon on Saturday and the Maine Marathon on Sunday. I’ve never done this before, but I feel that I’m in good enough shape for a pair of sub-3 hour marathons. New Hampshire will be a new race for me that I’ve never [...]

Combat Cancer 10k (2010)

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 | No Comments

This past weekend I ran the Combat Cancer 10k cross country race at Pineland Farms. It was a lot of fun and was very well organized for a first year race. The only glitch I’m aware of was that the winner (who had helped marked the course!) got a little turned around halfway through the [...]

ESPN Will Premiere “Into the Wind” Tonight

In 1980, Terry Fox started running across Canada to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Terry had lost his right leg to bone cancer 3 years earlier at the age of 18. Unfortunately, the spread of his cancer accelerated during the run and he had to stop after 143 days (and shortly thereafter [...]

Hitler Loves Cross Country

I imagine that this video won’t be around too long, since most of these parody skits get taken down pretty quickly, but it’s worth a laugh if you have a few minutes:

A Brief Chat with Meb Keflezighi

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010 | 3 Comments

Yesterday afternoon I had a few minutes to chat with Meb Keflezighi, one of the best marathoners in the United States right now. He ran for UCLA in the mid/late 1990s, and among his many accomplishments, Meb is a 3 time national cross country champion, he won the Silver Medal at the 2004 Olympic Marathon, [...]

The 2010 Cross Country Season Has Arrived!

By Blaine Moore on Friday, September 17th, 2010 | No Comments

It’s Autumn, which means that Cross Country Season has arrived! This was always my favorite time of year growing up, mostly because cross country running is a lot of fun. For me, it definitely beats running on the track or roads. Running over the grass and trails for position rather than time makes it a [...]

If you are interested in learning a bit more about me (because you just can’t get enough, obviously, right?) then check out my friend Corey’s site where she just got an in-depth interview posted that we did in the past week or so. We cover topics ranging from how I got started in the sport [...]

Consider Running the Combat Cancer 10k on September 26

If you’re going to be in a Southern Maine area on September 26, then I highly recommend that you come out to Pineland Farms for the Combat Cancer 10K. It’s a new race, part of the “Fight Back” weekend. On that Saturday they have a bike ride and lobster bake, and then on Sunday is [...]

The Bradbury Bruiser 12 Mile Trail Race (2010)

By Blaine Moore on Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 | 2 Comments

I recently ran the Bradbury Bruiser, which is the third of three trail races at Bradbury Mountain State Park, and it was a lot of fun. It’s 12 miles of very twisty, very turny, mostly single track racing. There were multiple switch backs. There are sections where you can get dizzy if you are going [...]
