May 2008 - Two National Championships in 1 month.  Did you know?  Monument Avenue 10K was the Men's National Championship Race, and April 27 was the USAT Short Course Duathlon National Championship.  Thanks to Sportsbackers, Richmond is hosting these important events.

The National Duathlon Festival not only included the USAT National Championships in many Duathlon categories, but a Sport race was included as well.  If you did the Sport Race and got bitten by the Du Bug, drop me an e-mail at seanc@runrichmond.com.  I am trying to determine if people are interested in Du and would race more if the opportunity was there...

There's another new coach in town.  This one is focused on high school athletes.  Paul Caminiti, former NCAA Track Athlete at Rutgers, has started Adrenaline Sports USA.  Paul will train male and female athletes between 13 and 20.  This is something totally different than anyone in Richmond has seen.  If you are a high school athlete and want to improve or if your child is a high school athlete - check out www.adrenalinesportsusa.com for more details.  I will tell you that Paul knows what he's doing and your athlete will improve!

Have you heard of ART - Active Release Techniques?  Dr. Rob Green at Active Chiropractic is Richmond's first Certified ACT practitioner.  ACT is an amazing protocol of soft tissue manipulation that works to help resolve over-use injuries.  I know a number of people that ran the Richmond Marathon because Rob helped them get healed up.  Check out www.activechiropractic.com for more information!!! 

RunRichmond and RVA Runners are teaming up to offer special pricing on Accelerade and Endurox purchases.  Go to www.accelsport.com/rvarunners for more details.

02/27/07 - It's been almost three weeks and no updates to RunRichmond.  No new articles, no new news updates, no nothin'.  The Gnome is one lazy SOB...Actually, the Gnome has been busy workin' the day job.  I hate it when professional stuff gets in the way of recreation.  Congrats to all the great performances at Colonial Half Marathon this past weekend.  Weather was not perfect but there were some smokin' fast times.  Looks like some folks are ready for the Spring Marathons.  Shamrock and National are less than 30 days away.  Some Taper Madness in Richmond!!

Sportsbackers and USA Triathlon have gotten together to bring another great Duathlon to Richmond.  Beginning in 2008, the Duathlon Short Course National Championships will be held in Richmond for 3 consecutive years.  This will be a weekend of great races, events and a festival.  If you think Richmond drivers go nuts when the Marathon causes traffic issues, just wait!

Richmond continues to increase its relevance in Multi-sports and Cycling.  Look for an update shortly here at RunRichmond.

By the way, we are still collecting shoes for OneWorld Running and Planet Aid.

02/09/07 - Wow, February is here.  Remember when we were Christmas shopping at our outdoor malls (there's a neat concept) in shorts just a few weeks ago.  Well it's time to pay the piper.  I'm cold.  I hate being cold.  I hate cold weather.  I should move.  Anyways, we're only a couple of weeks from Colonial.  Hopefully, we're only a couple of weeks from some warm weather too.  Check out the latest "Everything is Relative" from the Articles page.  By the way, if you want to buy a used Garmin 301, let me know, I have one for sale...
