Chattanooga 100 Miler and 10,000 feet of Climbing D Yon 04-2020
Compared to the marathon, relatively few individuals start and finish a race of 100 miles or more. Obviously, the distance is far greater than the marathon (26.219 miles) but that is only part of it. Most often, it means running through the night without sleep. Little...
A Long Race Running from the Virus D Yon 04-2020
March 7, 2020, was the last weekend of racing in Tallahassee. I ran the Shamrock Scurry 5K that weekend. Two weeks later, Rachel and Zack Scharlepp, directors of the Springtime Tallahassee races, were told there would be no race on March 28. Only a few days after that...
Running Streak Interrupted DY Democrat 04-01-20
It is as simple as this – a runner must run, and so too a coach must coach. We just never anticipated something like COVID-19 lurking in the shadows ready to poison anyone who gets too close. For the runner who wants to get faster, there are weekly intervals at...

How They Train By Gary Griffin: Alyssa Moore February 2020
Age 25 Did you compete in high school cross country or track? Yes, I ran at Floyd Central High School in Floyd Knobs, Indiana. Did you compete in college cross country or track? Yes, I competed for the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, Indiana. How many...
View from the top – Possibilities 02-2020
Possibilities. The run this morning was a wet one. Not raining, not dry, but cool and damp and humid, and while not so cold, we could see our steamy breath in the dim shine of our headlamps. Sounds are muffled on mornings like this as we ghost along on silent...
A Night for Smiles – Awards 2019
It was indeed a night for smiles and a chance to say thank you to a lot of people for their hard work on behalf of the Gulf Winds Track Club and the Tallahassee running community. There is so much effort and knowledge that goes into a year of planning, preparing and...
Roll another year over, but what about the decade? D Yon 01-2020
Sometimes I get confused. Ok, often I am confused. On January 1, 2020, I began my 38th year of running, including somewhere around 75,000 miles (maybe more). What I do not understand, however, is whether December 31, 2019, was the last day of the decade referred...
