March 20, 2014 by Tom Garrity In stories No Comments

By Coren Anderson I have run for many different reasons and have run in honor of cancer survivors. For Rachael, a young cancer survivor who I met when someone put the crazy idea in my head that at the age of 37 it would be fun to learn to run. For my dear friend Kenneth, […]

Running for a Marine

February 17, 2014 by Tom Garrity In stories No Comments

by Christine Ford I started running in early 2011 for myself. My life had become pretty stagnant after an unconscionable series of events took place with a bad neighbor where we were living in Peralta. My husband and I were pretty much forced to move just to keep our sanity. I ended up selling my […]

Running for Julia

November 15, 2013 by Tom Garrity In stories 1 Comment

When my oldest son was in first grade, he introduced to me, through his stories, a girl in his class named Julia. I had the opportunity to see her briefly at an Open House early in the school year. Fiery red hair and a gorgeous smile, Julia lit up the room. It was easy to […]

Pepper

Man’s Best Friend

I should have named my black lab, Pacesetter, not Pepper. That’s her pictured up top. She was my training companion for five months as I prepared for The Cutthroat Classic, a trail run in the Washington Cascade Mountains: Eleven miles and 2600 feet of climbing in national forest and designated wilderness. But Pepper didn’t get […]

Running the Race of Life

September 3, 2013 by Tom Garrity In stories 1 Comment

Behind the beard and sunglasses is a determined runner who is fueled by a passion to live. But that wasn’t always Terry’s One Medal story.

Quarters for Runners

Submitted by Mari Dannenbaum Zufall My first distance run was around 3 miles, about 7 years ago. I was going through a difficult time in my life and much like Forrest Gump, I just felt like running.
