At about the time that you’re collecting this magazine from your mailbox, the Olympic Track and Field Trials are taking place in Eugene, Oregon. I’m a long time track fan, but unfortunately, with the addition of an infant at my house, I’m not able to attend the Trials in person this year. Colorado Runner was fortunate enough to be granted two press passes to the event, so I sent David and Margaret Hunter to the Trials in my place. David and Margaret are two of the major people involved with the Akron Road Runner Marathon. I was introduced to them through our mutual friendship with Creigh Kelley of BKB Ltd. The husband and wife duo will be sending updates, so check out our website to see how those athletes with Colorado connections are faring in their bid to be Olympians.
Speaking of our website, we have a newly designed internet site with exciting features like local blogs, forums, and increased content for print subscribers, such as the ability to search through all of our past issues. Check it out at www.coloradorunnermag.com. And if you’re not already on our e-newsletter list, you can sign up online for free and get the top web headlines sent to your in-box on the first of each month.
Happy trails!
