Penn State’s proudest, Joe Paterno and his wife Sue, are coaching a team of Happy Valley runners training for the Boston Marathon. While a junior at Penn State, I rode my mtn. bike past JoePa’s home every day on my way to and from campus. One fall morning, while riding through the woods nearby, I nearly [...]
Mailing all the unclaimed medals from the Super Sunday 5K/10K is a pain in the butt. Instead, they can be picked-up at Marathon Sports on Boylston St. in Boston starting Monday, 2/11. If you placed top 3 in your age group and didn’t get your medal, please visit the store soon. [...]

I saw the Spirit of the Marathon movie last night… a cool flick following 6 5 runners as they prepare for the 2005 Chicago Marathon. The movie covers elite runners (race favorites Daniel Njenga and Deena Kastor) as well as first-timers very well, but it comes up a bit short for the rest of [...]
Robert Cheruiyot and Lidiya Grigoryeva, the 2007 Boston Marathon champions, will return to defend their titles on April 21st in the 112th running of the race. Cheruiyot, last year’s World Marathon Majors winner, is aiming for his 4th Boston victory.
If it’s cold where you are and you’re planning to run Boston, you’ve probably dealt with the dilemma of running on bitter cold days. How many layers? Gloves or mittens? Clif Bar or Gu? Well, at least you don’t have to worry about “Is it too cold?” because the NYT’s [...]
