"Ours Is The Best Sport In The World"

I just happened to wander over the the Runners World site when I found this really interesting article from Amby Burfoot. With apologies to NCAA College Football, I think the title is pretty accurate. Judge for yourself.

I have met Mary Wittenberg on several occasions. I can say first hand that she is a great and positive force for running.

what a great speech! such a refreshing change from err, certain quarters where there is endless grumbling about walkers, and walk runners, and how slowpokes are ruining everything (that would be me, btw.)
:)

Very inspiring. thanks!

Great speech by Wittenberg. Our sport desperately needs more exposure. Hope you're warmer down in the Big D than we are here in D.C.

Agreed.

So... what do you say about running the 50K race I'm organizing in Ft. Worth in July? Check out my blog for info. Starts at 12:01 a.m. on July 15 -- we run all night. Good times....
