He Didn’t Need To Stray Too Far

Without the prospect of having to travel too far, Steve Crowder (Fincastle, VA) basically drove to the end of his street to run the Bank of Fincastle 10K on Saturday.   Over a deceptively tough course through the hills of the town of Fincastle in Southwest Virginia, Steve ran a solid 38:05 (quite respectable on that course) for 2^nd place overall.  He was bested only by his training partner, who will no doubt let him hear about it till their next meeting.

You Might Be In Trouble If…

When Mia Kingston (Bethesda, MD) neared the starting line for the Potomac Heritage Trail 50K in Washington, DC, a man was handing out literature.  No, not political information (or mis-information), but course maps.  Mia should have known what she was up against right then.  Well, the maps apparently didn’t help much, as Mia and about a dozen other runners became lost and added on nearly 6 miles.  For part of the 6:55:00 “run” Mia splashed through creeks, climbed over boulders and logs, and explored some places that would make Lewis and Clark nervous.  It was all good fun and served as a good workout for Mia in preparation for the upcoming JFK 50 Mile in November.
