The Potomac Audubon Society in Shepherdstown, WV asked if we would spread the word about their event on April 24. This Race is for the Birds will be 7.7 mile and 4.9 mile trail races, a kid’s 1 mile run, and a 2 mile “Eagles Nest” walk. This all happens at the US Fish & Wildlife’s National Conservation Training Center along the Potomac River.

Presented by the WVU College of Physical Activity and Sports Science this new series of outdoor events begins in April and goes through October. Do one or do them all!
While some of the running events are just long enough to get loosened up, mix it up with a little two wheel action and it looks like fun. For complete details and contact information go to MASS

Want to break the cabin fever and get in a good long run? Well if so, come join me and Dan this Saturday (2/20) for a 20-25 mile run on some snow-covered roads around Beverly. We’ll start at my house around 9 am and if you’re interested in this fun run, just drop me an e-mail (dr_casseday@yahoo.com).

It is with great regret and a level of logic I usually do not display that I must call off the Pub Run for this Saturday. I just spoke to Randy who laid out the courses and Willie who runs the pub and they both said running would be near impossible. Who says knee-deep, heavy snow is impossible . . . even if another 12-16 inches is coming tomorrow. It is unfortunate but the smart thing is to stay close to home a have fun there.
I will reschedule this fun event and let you all know the date.
