I wish I was there
I would much prefer to be there instead of watching from my couch. The USA Olympic track and field trials and the Olympic track and field games are among my favorite places to be – no matter where they are. COVID – 19 doesn’t care what I think. But we are way ahead of...
Stan Linton Takes Another Step Forward in Portland
One of the hallmarks of the Tallahassee running community and Gulf Winds Track Club it that it is like a big family. After more than a year of few races and very little activity, derisiveness made its way to the front too often. But families pull together. In addition...

Parkinsons Awareness D Yon 04-26-21
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. And since I am among those diagnosed with the disease, I should write about it. The Parkinson’s Foundation estimates more than 1,000,000 people living in the US have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s with approximately 60,000 added...
