Every time I go to Vancouver, Washington I have the same thought: I should visit here more often. And since every time I go there is for a race, I then have another thought: I should visit here without regretting my mileage choices. And recently at the Couve Clover Run, those thoughts were back again. I happily chose the Lucky 7-Mile distance this year which is an out-and-back along the waterfront followed by a loop…
The downpour outside my window declares that spring is here in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s hoping that the old saying is true about this March: “In like a lion; out like a lamb.” And speaking of fuzzy white creatures…(how about that for a segue)… Foot Traffic puts one elaborate and amazing races every year, including the springtime favorite Hop Hop Half. This year’s race is in a new venue but not to worry: they still…

The marathon is the glamour distance of road racing, and the 5K, 10K, and half marathon each can lay claim to their share of devoted fans. Then there is the 10 mile race, which stands like a lonely wallflower at the high school dance. That’s too bad, because it’s an interesting distance in itself. If nothing else, 10 is a key number in human civilization, as so many things follow base-10 counting. Anyway, that leads…
