Wagner: Onset of summer begs for new trails
This may sound like an Old Milwaukee beer commercial but it doesn’t get any better than this. This time of year, near-perfect weather conditions make it tough to not want to run as far as the legs will take me, and virtually every living plant seems to be in bloom.

Fargo Marathon wonderful event
Thanks to the Fargo Marathon and the city of Fargo. After years of kicking around in shorter races, I decided to run the Fargo Marathon this year.

OUR VOICES The cure
"A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory." - Arthur Golden The last post mentioned how a terrific run with friends really took the edge off a stressful day. It also got me to think about how often our sport is the cure for what's bugging us. The thought has entered

"The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." - Charles Du Bos For those who've followed me through the blog know that things haven't always gone so smoothly, especially over the past 6 weeks. So with a new personal best at the

As noted last week, I'm planning to run in one of the events in next year's Fargo Marathon as a charity runner. Beth, one of my friends from high school, helped come up with the idea to run in Kate Hunt Mortenson's memory, and put together a terrific Web site. The site provides some links and help

Not too long ago, the Fargo Marathon announced it planned to move its 5K race to Friday night. Despite hearing comments from casual runners that it would take excitement away from the event, I continue to herald it as a smart decision. And just announced today, there will be another option for r
