A random collection of running-related articles, information, and funny stuff I found while surfing around.

Worth Reading

Oprah, The Rock, and Jimmy Fallon Star in Running-Related Super Bowl Ads (In case you missed these commercials while you were taking a bathroom break or getting some more guacamole for your chips). Good news for those of us who never stretch: Research says it’s overrated. Now that I’m of a certain age, this way of calculating my race times is quite appealing. Running with bad knees might not be so bad afterall.

Race Results

*whistles* So….not much going on this time of year. No results (from Erie) to share this week.

Worth making (Recipes for runners)

Toss this tortellini soup in the crockpot and you’ll have a nice hot meal waiting for you when you finish your weekend long run.
