First RTN Column of "Talking The Talk" Appears

I, for one, didn't choose the title of the column! (Yes, blame the editor!) However, to have an opportunity to write for a magazine is one that I won't complain about. I just hope that I can do the sport justice.

For an introductory column, I tried to be brutally honest as there are lots of others in the sport who are working harder than me. I hope to be able to promote and publicize though individuals as well as addressing issues in the sport. I have no plans to offer up any running tips. I'll leave that to the professionals like Greg Lautenslager and Jon Warren.

I also realize that a lot more eyes are going to be on me now. That's part of the bargain.

If you haven't picked up a copy of Runner Triathlete News (or if you are not a regular subscriber), I'd invite you to do one or the other and take a look at pages 26-27.

I'm excited and I hope you'll enjoy - as well as runners from around the state - what I have to add. Last week, I turned in my copy for the May edition and am currently working on material for the month of June.

If there's a topic that you haven't seen covered ever or in awhile, please let me know.
