You know you're a runner when your #1 criteria for buying a house was "Can I run from my front door?"

19 NCAA DIII XC titles.
42 (!) top-4 finishes at NCAA DIII XC meet.

Hundreds and hundreds of lives impacted.

What a life.

this will be one of my favorite moments ever not just because it secured gold. nor because of the difficulty. because he is the only person on earth who not passing to one of these two, wide open, is acceptable.

This 10,000m race has me glued to the TV.

American almost wiped out mid-race but got back on the horse.

Ethiopians working together, conversing mid-race.

Ugandan asserted dominance with some hand fighting.

The drama is phenomenal.

Oh yeah and the pace is insane.

The best runs each year:
1. No cars on the road for Christmas
2. First shirtless spring day
3. Back with the team during preseason
4. Cooling down after a good race
5. Wearing brand new shoes and realizing how little cushion was left in the previous pair with 800+ miles on them

[Marcus Dickson @marcusdickson94]

If you ran in these spikes then I know your prime fitness missed the super shoes era. Feel free to subtract 5-30 seconds off of all PRs and not feel bad about it.

Mary's getting all dolled up for the Silver Bells in the City parade! Normally, we'd tell you to keep your eyes out for her, but a giant, lit-up cow downtown is hard to miss.
