I had more fun at this national championships than I have at any others. The Chico team seemed much more relaxed and we were able to just have a good time all week as well as on race day. We had our lowest point total ever as well as our most All-Americans ever. We also got to tour Pittsburg on Thursday and take over a bowling alley the night after the race. I'm a firm believer that Cross-Country should cover all surfaces and conditions. I think that the National Championships should rotate all over the country and that the World… more »

As many of you know there was quite a fiasco at the West Regional championships a few weeks ago. I'll do the best to give a short explaination from my perspective. About a mile and three quarters into the race we were supposed to make a sharp turn left and we didn't.

The plan for Saturday was to race a 3200 meter time trial just to stay sharp and have a decent venue to perform at because you never know when you can hit a patch of ice on the trails. I was so curious to what kind of time I could turn out; I knew I was in better shape but the external factors I figured would… more »

I haven't blogged in a long time, letting my repsonsibilites lag. But, I haven't had a whole lot to talk about. In any case, I was a partcipant in the NYC marathon this past weekend and this is a condensed version of 2:18:38 of a hard run. ING NYC Marathon This year was my first real marathon in over two years, and what blew me away is how interested people were in this race. As many know, I was barely able to walk going into the 2007 Olympic Trials and the only reason I went was, well, it was the… more »
