This week’s Back Cove race consisted of 214 runners braving temperatures in the low 70s with clear skies. Curtis Wheeler led the way handily, winning the race in 16:59. Abbey Gosling‘s win streak was broken, however, as her time of 18:50 was 25 seconds behind Emily Durgin‘s 18:25. Abbey’s 1:54:41 overall time on the leaderboard…
This past weekend was the second annual Bradbury Scuffle. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and by beautiful I mean in the traditional sunny sense and not in the rainy way that it was beautiful last year. We still had plenty of mud, though, because before the race there had been maybe 4 days of…
I sometimes confuse people when they ask me how many times I run per week and I tell them that it’s usually somewhere between 8 and 10 times. It’s hard to grasp for some folks that there are occasions when you might want to run 2 or even 3 times in the same day (not…
142 people braved the weather this evening, although the rain held off until after the race was over. Curtis Wheeler ran ahead of Noah Schoneberg, only beating him by 2 seconds in 16:51. Abbey Gosling continued her trend of leading the women with her time of 19:04. For myself, I got in an almost 7…
Weren’t able to get into the Beach to Beacon before registration closed (which happened in a mere couple of minutes this year)?

Have you participated in the Mud Hog Trail Race yet? This year’s event is scheduled for August 9th, and I’m planning on heading over with Erin to help out and to do some camping (there’s a Rib Fest the day before, can’t miss out on that!) Here’s some info from Matt Hartman, the race director:…
In another wind-aided run of 100 meters, Tyson Gay ran (as I like to put it) not quite slow to finish in 9.75 seconds. That’s the 7th fastest 100 meters ever run under any conditions, although it is not eligible for the record books given the assist from Mother Nature. He only ran the first…
It’s been about a month since the Pineland Farms Trail Challenge on Memorial Day weekend, and the official photographs are now available. I’ve also done my best compiling all of the race reports that I could find as well as any other sources of photos. So far, my count is up to a dozen race…

Curtis Wheeler was chasing him down, a mere 9 seconds back. Abbey Gosling again won the women’s race, this week in 19:20. Kellie Stratton debuted on…
