This week last year got away from the football theme and concentrated more on news that impacts athletes or athletics and the Red Sox. I also started my new animated how to series, which has been neglected since I got married and has not started up again because my photographer moved away. I began my…
Last year, Robert Hoyzer went on trial for rigging German soccer games that he refereed. Hoyzer was sentenced to 29 months. His conviction was upheld this morning following his appeal of the sentence. The federal appeals court rejected the prosecution’s request to overturn the convictions. Prosecutor Hartmut Schneider had argued that match-fixing could not be…
New England will bounce back this week. I originally thought that Houston was going to be a pretty tough week, but now I am not so sure. Chicago is going to continue its run, and the Jets will do better than they did last week.
The USATF Club Cross Country Championships were this past Saturday. Linda Somers Smith of Washington won the female master’s 6k race in 22:15, leading her Asics Aggie Running Club teammates to a victory of 1 minute and 14 seconds over Club Northwest. Tracy Lokken led the Front Line Racing Team to a 1 minute and…

There was a good range of topics last year, ranging from weight lifting programs to how to cook an egg to catching an arsonist. I detailed my 3 day per week regimen: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I think that it is fair to note that while that workout regimen worked for me at the time,…
You should never be afraid to quit during a workout. Sometimes, the benefits that you will receive for continuing the workout will not outweigh the problems that the workout is causing. Failing a workout, or even a race, does not necessarily need to be a bad thing. You can use a failed workout to plan…
Lee Miller over at Complete Running has a list of winter running “do”s and “don’t”s. It is a pretty good list, which I am not going to duplicate here, but I would like to elaborate on a few of his points. I recommend checking out the original article and reading through them all.
I did absolutely horrid last week. I hate this Thursday night game that I can’t watch anyway because my cable company won’t carry the station. This week has me worried. I have the visiting team winning all but one of the 1:00 games, and the home team winning all but one of the 4:00 games….
