This Week Last Year: Heart Attacks and the 4th of July
This week last year dealt mostly with current news with a the odd random article thrown in.
- Scott started off a discussion on technology and fitness by discussing the sustainable gym. They seem to be getting more popular as time goes on.
- I created a 4th of July race recap to celebrate the 4561+ people that competed last year.
- In Olympic news, the IOC announced the new Olympic selection process for deciding which sports to include or drop in future games.
- Alberto Salazar was hospitalized after having a heart attack while coaching.
- This week two years ago, I spoke about how one of the best things about the Fourth of July are all of the Fourth of July races you can find in every state. I also did a recap of the 2006 Fourth of July races. I followed that up by describing one of the my favorite runs from preseason in college, the beach run. In running news, Sam Thompson beat out Dean Karnazes as the first person to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.
