Soooo…what else is going on in the fitness world this week?
- One of your favorite bloggers was featured on Women’s Running Magazine‘s website (ahem).
- Speaking of IBD, UC patients admitted for surgery on weekends were 70% more likely to have complications. Scary.
- Concussion stats. Holy scary.
- The most secretive, impossible trail race in ultra-marathoning. I think I’ll stick with 26.2 on pavement, thanks.
- The Neon Run didn’t go so well in Phoenix and people want their money back.
- The Lance Armstrong Saga continues…in Spain.
- An incurable, inoperable brain tumor. But he still won a marathon.
- Experts weigh in on when it’s too hot to hold a race. I guess Badwater doesn’t count?

- Another yoga guru accused of sexual misconduct.
- Is it time for Paula to hang up her racing flats?
- This guy is intense, even for an ultra-marathon runner. I want to see his body when he’s 50 years old.
- Why race directors don’t like deferrals (Hint: it has to do with money. Shocker)
- Another Olympic medal winner has been accused of doping. This time, it’s a female runner who won the 1500 meters.
- Runners helping runners when things go very wrong at the Rock ‘n Roll in D.C. last week. THIS is sportsmanship at its finest.
That’s all I got. Did I miss anything?
Have a great weekend, everybody! And don’t forget to sign up for the Virtual 5K (run, bike, swim, skip, elliptical, row) on Tuesday.
Now go out and run.
