  • I began the week last year by writing about safety equipment for road runners, such as shoes, identifications, clothing, and reflective items.
  • I wrote about race etiquette that every runner should follow.
  • I discovered how easy it is to slip off of a swiss ball when working out. That’ll teach me to use a smaller swiss ball!
  • Tirunesh DibabaEvery time that I go to a professional meet with my friend Andrew, we get to see world records. Last year I went down to watch the Boston Indoor Games and got to see some more records, both national and international. I planned to go down this year, but wasn’t able to make it.
  • Steve Pavlina weighed in last year with why health research is worthless.
  • This week two years ago, the World Marathon Majors were announced and I demonstrated how to do a dumbbell bench press, which is still a staple exercise of mine.

We kept watching to see if she would implode; it was very exciting.
