This is not a political post. We got lucky. For the first time in 34 years we will not be involved in the Detroit Free Press Marathon expo. On Friday the Expo will be sharing the facility with a Donald Trump Rally. It sounds like a logistical nightmare.

If you finished a marathon any place in the World this fall come in to any of the 4 Hansons locations to receive your FREE Hansons Marathon Gloves. You earned them. CONGRATULATIONS

Jimmy Carter passed today. In 1980 I hated the fact that he made the decision to boycott the Olympics and felt that I would never respect him. I WAS WRONG I admire and respect how this man chose to live his life. Thank you President Carter RIP

HS Distance Coaches You can help save our sport at the professional level. It’s simple and doesn’t cost anything. Pick a current pro distance runner and highlight them at the beginning of each week. Reward your runners for finding some obscure fact about this pro. More young fans

It’s 8:30 am on Monday April 14th. One week from now. All buses will have arrived in Hopkinton. This small quiet town will have transformed into a busy buzzing running Mecca. Even spectators will feel anxious for what lies ahead. Relax and enjoy. Good luck to all of you.

HS coaches need to be very careful in the first few weeks back. Injuries are not because you are running them too much. Most injuries are a result of the difference between what the athlete tells you they’ve been running and actual mileage.

Our sport is presented all wrong. We tend to focus on just the pro side of things or just the community runners. Both approaches are wrong. Keep in mind that our sport has greater diversity and larger household income than nearly every other sport. Leaders must relate to both.

Welcome to the team! Colbi Borland from Lipscomb University has made the move to Michigan to join Hansons Brooks Distance Project.

Just want to mention (again!) what an inspiring athlete Dot McMahan of Hansons-Brooks ODP is. In February, 2024 she finished her 5th Olympic Trials Marathon, and last Saturday she won the #Crim10Mile for the 2nd straight year in 55:48. That's 5:35/mi pace for a 48 year-old woman.

Happy Birthday Sarah Disanza!
