Touch ‘Em All (Next Week) It’s that time of year again when we like to visit all of our borders in one day. I know, I’m having a hard time sleeping too. Crazy, right? For some reason every year a small subset of our readership thinks this is beyond their running capabilities. If that happens ...
This Time We Mean It Never thought I’d see that. Last week there were a number of runner who were disappointed/miffed/upset/put out that we did not get to run to Salem. Bill was not one of them. This is good news for anyone who sat home last week feeling disappointed/miffed/upset/put out because they couldn’t go ...

Different Starting Point Could be warm out there tomorrow morning. Who knows, it could be raining. Perhaps it will be another wonderful day to go for a wonderful run in a wonderful neighborhood. So let’s all go to 4-Doz’s house and go for a run in the woods. Sound like fun to you? In case ...
