Hitting cyclists with a car…

The Clam Festival this weekend had many events other than the 5 mile race. There was a kayak race and a cycling race as well. The cycling race was not completed, however. They had to stop the race with 2 laps (about 10 kilometers) remaining. 88-year-old John Christiansen apparently didn’t understand what the police were [...]

I was punched by an Olympic Gold Medalist

Yesterday was the Yarmouth Clam Festival. It was fairly hot, and I was not hydrated or warmed up enough for the race, but I did all right. There was one thing I learned yesterday that really can make a runner feel small. I spent the first three miles running right next to Joan Benoit Samuelson, [...]
