Normally when I do a race report, especially a longer race report, I use a A-F Grading System for different aspects of the Race, but since the 2008 Rutledge Marathon was the inaugral running, I don’t think it’s quite fair to grade things, especially compared to other marathons that have larger budgets and have worked [...]

Nothing says Christmas in East Tennessee like shorts and 70 degree [...]

I got this from Marathon Central about Fox Cities Marathon in northeast Wisconsin being closed 2-1/2 hours into the race. Like, they told runners to stop and take shelter due to lightening and bad weather, but not everyone got the message. It makes it worse that some of the runners did not hear the message [...]

Seems that Mother Nature has pulled off the gloves and are giving the US a couple black eyes. First there was Hurricane Katrina and now Hurricane Rita. Only Mother Nature would have the lady storms hit so hard (i.e. Camille)… I am woman, hear me ROAR. But what happens when they run out of names? [...]

it's in the low 60s at night and mid 80s during the day, what better conditions could you ask for when working out. My goodness! Today was a swim day. A short swim day at that, I only went 800 meters. I was very happy that they had the pool in the 50 meter configuration [...]
