The Runner as an Artist

We are surrounded by them, rogue artists creating masterpieces before our very eyes. We see them and our eyes do not stop to contemplate their work, for they are many and familiar, and so they have also become invisible. It is the fate of the precious and plentiful, like sparrows or blades o…

Short Attention Span Theatre

Wouldn't it be great if we could invest ten dollars today and withdraw a million tomorrow? There are only two ways we can make that happen: win the lottery or rob Fort Knox. (I wouldn’t suggest either of those propositions, by the way.)  But while that scenario seems quite far-fe…

Build a Bridge

The end of April signals the twilight of the spring marathon season. We spend all winter battling the cold, dark conditions, laying the foundation for a great spring half or full. With most of our races in the rearview mirror now, what's next? Like most people dealing with an addiction,…
