Oscar Pistorious Qualifies for 400m World Championships

There hasn’t been a lot of news about Oscar Pistorius for a few years. Oscar is a double amputee that was banned by the IAAF for having an unfair advantage over able-bodied athletes, and then allowed back into competition following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The position that the CAS took [...]

2011 Delaware Marathon Race Report

Last week, I followed up the RRCA National Convention with a very short trip into Delaware for a marathon. Hey, if I’m going to be away from my wife for a week, I might as well get another state out of the way, right? I left my hotel in Virginia at 3:00 in the morning, [...]

2011 Gansett Marathon

A couple of weeks ago I ran the first Gansett Marathon, which was the second annual race as it was moved from last year’s location in Exeter, Rhode Island to Naragansett to accommodate a larger field. This year’s race was just as well organized as last year’s was, although my own race didn’t go nearly [...]

I’ve run Boston twice, and I honestly think that I prefer watching the race over running it. It’s a great experience, and the [...]

Ghost Town 38.5 – Course Flyover

A couple of weeks ago I got to run the last Ghost Town 38.5 (click here for my race report) which takes the runners up Highway 152 for 6 miles and then sends them off into the Gila National Forest for the majority of the race before turning us around and sending us back the [...]

2011 Bradbury Squall – My First Snowshoe Race

I went into the 2011 Bradbury Squall having no idea about what to expect, having never run a snowshoe race before and having run an ultramarathon the previous weekend. Since I didn’t know how long it would take me, how fast I could run, or how I would compare to the other runners, I just wanted to finish in the top third of all finishers and called that good for my goal going into the race. It was a good race, with a start and finished on groomed double track and the majority of the race taking place on single track.
