Only have a minute tonight but I wanted to hop on real quick and share some photos from the Fit Family Day at our local mall . We went on a whim after Little Guy’s baseball game was canceled and I saw the article on the Patch. When we got there they gave us 5 bracelets to track our fr...

EUGENE, ORE. (02-Jun) — With each passing day, Oregon feels more like home to reigning world 5000m champion Mo Farah. The 29 year-old Briton, who lives about 200 kilometers north of here in Portland where he trains under coach Alberto Salazar, expertly controlled today’s 5000m at the ...
Second, I REALLY dislike the idea of races being limited to elites. It just feels like a douchey concept. It’s not elite, it’s elitist . Ultrarunning is one of the few sports where the elites and the people that finish last can hug, talk about their shared suffering, then drink a beer...
Interested in writing for RunAddicts.net? Get started now! At practice today, myself and a teammate were just talking about different things related to high school, what we did for fun, who we hung out with, and what sports we did. She then went on to say that she played basketball he...
I know I am no where near as amazing a run as Skinny (and not really skinny either), but I just went through the same thing you are talking about. I started running a few years ago and had always worn Asics. Then when I trained for my first full marathon this winter they just weren’t ...

Fontfizzle by runeatrepeat on June 2, 2012 This morning I ran the Fontana Half Marathon . It’s billed as the fastest half in the world and last year (for me anyways), it was! But this year I crashed and burned. I didn’t expect to PR again this year for a lot reasons: I haven’t been ru...
Vibram Five Finger Kid Sprints over at my review blog, BAB's Reviews . I am a strong believer in letting kids go barefoot as much as possible to strengthen and let their feet grow and move the way they were meant to and wear minimal shoes when shoes are called for. My boys are diggin'...

I was FORCED out on my bike today. I didn’t want to go out, I wanted to stay in but I was persuaded by the thought that the puppy might be in the farm shop and as Shaun wouldn’t phone them for me to check, I had to go and find out for myself. And the puppy was there, yay. It’s a cute ...
I walked to the pub, it counts–honest 3 06 2012 Dudes, I walked to the pub. I asked on Twitter if it would count and everyone said YES and no one said no, so, HA! I Garmined my walk to the pub. If it makes you feel any better, it was raining when we left the pub and we had to stand in...
