Locals Run Leadville

The Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World Herald both profiled local runners who ran in the Leadville 100 mile ultra marathon last weekend in Leadville, Colorado.

The Best Story I Heard All Weekend (and in a long time)

Many of you might be familiar with Team Hoyt.  Dick Hoyt and his son Rick, who was born with cerebral palsy, have competed in countless road races, marathons, and ironman distance triathlons.

Over the weekend, I heard a touching story about a girl and her friend, Ethan, who has cerebral palsy, and who recently competed in the Cleveland triathlon.
