As anticipated, Saturday’s 5k Cross Country race at Mount Trashmore was a lot of fun. Naturally a tough course, but very enjoyable. Despite being in the middle of training for a marathon in mid-March, I figured a hard effort over a ‘hilly’ 5k would be beneficial. I also figured I could get an extra 6 […]
It’s as easy as”pi”…..
Welsh mathematical genius, William Jones, born in a small village in Anglesey with the curious name of Llanfihangel Tre’r Beirdd (Church of St. Michael, Town of the Bards), is credited for being the first to use the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet, (pi), to represent the ratio of the circumference to […]
A recent design project was to create a logo for an upcoming run/walk event in Norfolk, VA. The brief from the client was exceptional and allowed me to quickly nail down what was expected. After a dummy run of 7 or 8 examples, CHKD offered further thoughts and opinion on the end product. From there […]
The 110th Boston Marathon will change it’s start format in 2006 and release the anticipated 20,000 runners from Hopkinton in two, 10,000-runner waves. The elite males and about 9,900 other men and women will set off from the usual start line at 12:00 noon. The rest of the field will start 30 minutes later at […]
Saw these great MINI Billboards on the MotoringFile web site over the weekend. There must be some seriously clever people working in the MINI advertising department, some of the ideas are tremendous.
My [lame] contributions only stretch as far as the following -
Firstly, “The Four Crotch Crotch Rocket”:
Wales is made up of 8 Preserved counties:
Gwent
South Glamorgan
Mid Glamorgan
West Glamorgan
Dyfed
Powys
Gwynedd
Clwyd
The 8 counties are currently used for ceremonial purposes such as Lord-Lieutenancy and are based on the administrative counties created by the Local Government Act 1972 and used for local government and other purposes between 1974—1996.
Haile Gebrselassie, four-times World and twice Olympic 10,000 metres champion, sliced 21 seconds off the World Half Marathon record today at the P.F.Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon and Half-Marathon in Phoenix, Arizona.
Gebrselassie, the 32-year-old Ethiopian, who won the 2001 World Half Marathon title and was the fastest marathon runner of 2005, also smashed Paul […]
Quite ironic that just a couple of days after a Virginia Beach high of 71 degrees (in January!) that I should wake up this morning to snow on the ground. The overnight low was in the 20’s, leaving the roads clear, but lawns and cars covered with an icy white blanket.
It’s also ironic that […]
Just finished reading Paula: My Story So Far with a few extra chapters added since her exploits at the Athens Olympics 2 years ago. Amazing how she bounced back from the bitter disappointment she suffered in the marathon on 22nd August 2004 to win the New York Marathon, The London Marathon and then the marathon […]
I’ve recently been trying to update my race times from all the road races I’ve ever competed in, and have come up with a few blanks from way back in the early 1980’s.
One of the first races I ever ran was the HyperValue Barry Half Marathon in 1983 (I was just 16 or 17 […]
