Ryan Shay Memorial Run

passion for running category: running on Friday, November 9 2007

I’m stealing this write-up from Anne…

Most of you by now are aware of Ryan Shay, the 28-year-old that died 5.5 miles into last weekend’s Olympic Marathon Trials in New York City. There are numerous memorials being erected or created, including one conceived by my friend Jeff, that amazing hipster up in southern Orange County.

Jeff would like anyone who can next Saturday to run 5.5 miles in honor of Ryan Shay. The details are on Complete Running.

Welcome

My name is Mark - some people call me the Running Blogfather. I'm a 40 year-old marathoner who has beaten stress fractures and terrible shin splints. Now I'm running double the mileage I was doing prior to my injuries with no pain whatsoever - and I'm getting faster.

My message is that you can beat injury and improve with age too. You can do it!
