Three things I learned while profiling Graham Blanks: - He has a sweet vintage Fuji commuter bike - His favorite band is Pavement - His left leg is slightly longer than his right (which can cause problems on a banked track) www.runnersworld.com/news/a634987...

Being a Pro Runner Can Be Boring. Graham Blanks Isn't
When he’s not training, the Olympian and soon-to-be Harvard graduate keeps busy by reading philosophy and bike commuting.

Sam Seemes, the CEO of @ustfccca.bsky.social, was brutally honest in his opening speech at the college coaches convention earlier today. “The choice is yours: Will you be part of the solution, or will you watch from the sidelines as our sports fade into irrelevance?”

Yaseen Abdalla’s second half of 2024 has been unreal. - August: Ran 2:11:14 at the Paris Olympics to finish 33rd in his first marathon - November: 4th at NCAA XC champs - Today: Ran 7:34.17 in the 3K at BU (under the old collegiate record) then ran a 13:22.29 5K just 3.5 hours later

I was quoted in the Bloomsburg Press Enterprise yesterday about running’s best kept secret: the Run for the Diamonds. The 9-mile turkey trot started in 1908 and the top 7 get diamond rings/pendants 💎 There’s a massive hill, paper registration, and the whole town tailgates. What’s not to love?

"Oh, but this just shows the nerdy, detail-obsessed nature of Japanese people," you say. Perhaps. But these publications can't exist without a distribution system (i.e., newsstands). And those newsstands can't exist without *dense walkable neighborhoods.*
