I was a superhero for a day.

That racing itch
by Chic Runner
posted November 17, 2010 at 4:32pm
So I’m starting to get antsy. I haven’t run a race, at all, since October 3rd, my last marathon. It’s that time of the year where everyone is running races every weekend and the fall leaves are crunching under your feet when you run and I’ll admit...more

Sportswriting, libraries and possibilities
by Byline to Finish Line
posted November 13, 2010 at 1:11pm
When asked what my favorite sport is, often my response is college basketball. That’s mostly out of sportswriter habit. It’s the genre I cover most often, the game I know most intimately and the place where, as a journalist, I’m most comfortable.

I’m on the train to NYC. This post may not make sense. You may wonder why I’m writing. But in my times of grief I have always found paper & pen to be my comfort.

You will be happy to know that I finally did end up connecting with track athletes down in Puerto Rico. Although, truth be told I was beginning to really begin to like my new boxing buddies. There is only one of them that spoke English to us, but all th...more

Moments of Zen
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 27, 2010 at 12:13pm
Some days, I need a moment of Zen.
It’s become a catch-phrase in the American lexicon, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious. A quick look at the definition of Zen and we learn that it is a religious movement introduced into China in the 6th century an...more

The art and science of the run
by Byline to Finish Line
posted October 23, 2010 at 1:33pm
It was a beautiful, crisp, windy autumn morning. Again. And my 5-mile easy run felt glorious, in part, because I ignored the science of the day and ran how I felt, in gratitude and joy.
But that doesn’t mean the science of the run doesn’t have it’s...more

Stop the fat talk

posted October 12, 2010 at 1:38am
So a few things have happened since I’ve last blogged. They are doing construction in the flat above mine, so the sounds of drills and hammers have woken me up at 7:30 for a week, and there’s no ending in sight. I discovered a path that goes from the ...more

Earlier this week I attended a luncheon up in Los Angeles for people who I’m going to assume had pretty deep pockets. It was a great lunch hosted by the fundraiser group for the USOC and by D.I.S.C., who is the medical provider for Olympic level athlete...more

by Stephanie Perleberg: Believe and Run On!
posted October 6, 2010 at 5:49pm
When you were a kid did you know what you wanted to do when you grew up? Yeah, we pretty much all did. We either wanted to be a fire fighter, a doctor, a nurse, or policeperson. It was as simple as that because our idea of the world was so small. We didn'...more
