 My Former High School Takes State
I know I sound really old to say this, but I was on the first Dowling High School Girl's Cross Country Team. In fact, I think there were only 2 of us on the team that first year. I remember making it to State. It was such a thrill to be with all those great runners. I didn't make a dent, but the experience cemented my love for running that has spanned over 3 decades. This year, this same school conquered the Iowa State Championships. And a runner, sophomore Katie Flood, made it all the way out here to San Diego to the Kinney National Championships, where she finished 2nd. I'd like to think I had something to do with it. I did make it into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003 (thanks to some politics from my brother John). Anyway, congratulations Dowling!
Photographer sends us photos
Bill Greineisen, a photographer, sent me some photos. I especially like this one of Chrissie Wellington as she finishes the 2007 Ironman Triathlon. He invites readers to check out his site. You may find yourself pictured.
First ever WomenRunners calendar hits the bookstores
As of today, the calendar is sold out at the warehouse. You may still find it at Amazon,. I think. If you would like to be featured in next year's calendar, please send me a good quality digital shot of you running (minimum 300 dpi, higher is better) and a little bit about yourself. Don't wait until the last minute.
