There are no results from yesterday to report, no competitions of any note being held today, and no track and/or running-oriented items being broadcast on TV or the web in the next 24 hours. There is, however, one rather big thing going on this evening. T...more

On the Mend
by Run Girl Run
posted January 11, 2011 at 1:23pm
I cried the entire time I was running my five miles yesterday, but not because my knee was bothering me. It was just so cold and windy that my eyes wouldn't stop watering.
Despite the biting wind and my tears freezing to my cheeks, my five miles went qu...more

Race report: Disney Half Marathon
by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 11, 2011 at 12:25pm
This was not the race I had planned.
It was not the race I had trained for or prepared for. It was not the race I wanted.
But sometimes we get stubborn in what we want. We get focused on getting things in only one way, one form. And the universe,well, i...more

A fun treadmill mind game
by Run Girl Run
posted January 10, 2011 at 1:19pm
It's funny how just the other day I talked about how I avoid the treadmill at all costs, and then over the weekend, the D.C. area gets hit with just enough snow to make the sidewalks too slippery for me to run on and I'm forced into the gym to do my long ...more

Do what you do. You define your "full potential"
by Chic Runner
posted January 7, 2011 at 11:02pm
So after posting my training plan, someone commented about how I wasn’t running enough nor reaching my full potential. At first when I got this comment I was a little baffled and upset. I thought I explained pretty thoroughly about why I was using the p...more

Not Afraid of the Dark
by Run Girl Run
posted January 6, 2011 at 3:37pm
When you're a little girl, you're afraid of the dark because of imaginary monsters that live in your closet and go bump in the night. When you're a grown-up girl, you're afraid of the dark because you're very aware of all the bad things that can happen at...more

by Chic Runner
posted January 5, 2011 at 9:29pm
I finally completed my training plan. I had to figure a few things out with work before committing to any races, and as luck would have it, the first race I planned to do this year I’ll be in Arizona for :( So that has to be skipped. I’m also bummed b...more

The occasional occurrence of stupid things
by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 5, 2011 at 1:37pm
Stupid things happen.
Like the time my math skills failed me and my decree that ”4 + 3 = 6″ drew the amused look of Mark. (Note to self: Never attempt to do math on the fly in front of someone who has left-brain tendencies.)
Like the time I wrote ...more

Running On Your Lunch Break
by Run Girl Run
posted January 5, 2011 at 1:25pm
One of the things I struggle most with in the winter is the lack of day light hours for running. I'm in the office at 7 a.m. and leave at 4:30 p.m. It's dark in the morning when I wake up and by the time I get home from work.
That leaves me two basic opt...more

Motivation to Start Running After Time Off
by Run Girl Run
posted January 4, 2011 at 11:42am
Coming back to running after time off is hard. Your endurance is sapped, your speed is lacking and your runs can just be plain frustrating.
A coworker asked me to share my tips for getting back into running after some time off. She used to run, but now ...more

by Byline to Finish Line
posted January 1, 2011 at 2:32pm
New Year’s Eve began in typical fashion — with an early morning run with Sue. We met at the gym to take a spin on the treadmill and chat on the last day of 2010. The topic of the changing year came up and Sue explained that she doesn’t make resoluti...more

Goals for the New Year
by Run Girl Run
posted December 30, 2010 at 9:49am
I love how the New Year gives us all a chance to wipe the slate clean and set some new goals for the upcoming year.
I firmly believe in setting goals, not making resolutions. Goals are something you can measure and take actionable steps to achieve. Resol...more

Lessons of my team's 2010 season
by The Track & Field Superblog
posted December 28, 2010 at 8:43pm
I coach high school cross country. Or rather, I did. Facing a $39 million budget shortfall, last spring our school district cut four sports, cross country among them. I offered to work for free, but in a large 60-school bureaucracy such things don't...more

by Fair Game News
posted December 27, 2010 at 12:15pm
By Rachael Goldenberg
OK, 2000-2010 is 11 years but rather than quibble with the definition of a decade, let’s consider the strides female athletes have made. The first years of this new century have pushed at barriers.

posted December 27, 2010 at 12:08pm
The alarm clock was not a pleasant sound. The desire to race was not dancing through my mind. In fact, in the immediate minutes upon waking, there were three things which could have turned the day miserable:
The previous two days were spent eating cooki...more
