Almost is not good enough...
by I Run - Therefore I Blog
posted August 2, 2009 at 6:48pm

Then NM 2009 is over. I tried to pace Ingvill for as long as possible in the 1500m today. I did what I could but still that wasn't good enough to make the B-standard for the Worlds (4.09.00). With 4.09.62 and 4.09.96 earlier she's been close. Now she ran ...more

So, you have seen Yelena Isinbayeva in her new fancy pink and gold outfit? It's probably more photos of her in Adidas kit than in her Li-Ning outfit. But she signed with Li-Ning in 2009 and you will see her in her new kit at all the Golden League meets. L...more

The Norwegian Championship is coming up this weekend at Lillehammer. Long time ago, in 1995, I won my first two medals here. I got the silver in the 800m behind Toril Hatling and another silver in the 1500m behind Hilde Stavik. I'm excited about the upcom...more

“In order to be the best, you must first believe that you are.”I have heard that quote a million times, and I fully trust its accurateness. It’s something I constantly preach to younger athletes who want to know the secret to success because I have...more

Long Jumper Brianna Glenn: Making Sense and Cents

The sport of track and field doesn’t always make sense. There are those who get paid a good amount, plenty more that don’t, and a few sprinkled in between. During the time I’ve been a part of this sport, I’ve seen drastic changes in the way in w...more

I have learned to appreciate being in Europe over the years. This wasn’t always the case. The first couple of times I came over, I was miserable and entirely out of my element. I’d lose weight because the food was not the same... I would stay place...more

Actually, it’s not even close to being the worst travel ever, it just is the worst travel thus far of this trip and fresh on my mind…so we will exaggerate a bit for storytelling sake. It all started with the fact that I never went to sleep after the ...more

My first meet over in Europe was in Luzern, Switzerland. One of the enticing things about this meet that persuades a lot of great athletes to take part, is the chance to win a diamond. First place in every event receives a 1.2 carat diamond, and then th...more

Public Transportation

I admit... I’m a little scared of public transportation. Being from southern California will do that to you. Nobody gets on mass transit to go anywhere. You get in your car, by yourself, and you go. In Europe, however, it’s really not that easy. ...more
