A 135-mile road race through Death Valley, starting at Badwater at 282 feet below sea level through to Mt Whitney. The original concept was to run from the lowest point in the US to the top of the highest mountain in the 48 contiguous states, but it now ends at Whitney Portal at 8,360...

The Herculis Meeting, two weeks ago, had the withdrawal of Usain Bolt, the biggest draw in the sport. Yet, without Bolt, the Herculis Meeting was a near sell out. Not only that, but the women's 100 meters, the deep men's 800 meters, the mens steeplechase, which combined roller derby w...
Our last day was a bust. Cold, rainy and windy. Not how you want to end a week at the beach but we can’t complain. With 3 gorgeous days to frolic in the ocean, a golf day for Dad, 3 beautiful morning runs for Mom and lots of boardwalk strolls we lived it up at the shore. Today I’m fee...

Last night my mom came to pick up Matt. It was great hanging out with him for the week! We decided to hang out and go out to dinner together. I picked Sizzler, because I had a random craving for big salads and cheese bread.
The near collision of Consesius Kipruoto and Paul Koech reminded me of Haile Gebrselassie in World Junior 10,000m. Dramatic, and Kipruto kept on standing, holding onto the win as the two leaders bumped about 30 meters out. Evan Jager was in fifth to sixth, and with two laps to go, sta...
The women’s 3000m quickly turned tactical when the contenders didn’t immediately follow the early pacemaking of Kenya’s Lydia Wafula and Serbia’s Marina Muncan. But, as world 1500m champion Jenny Simpson predicted yesterday, the race eventually got rolling, but not until the final lap...
