Although this week’s list is a little all over the place, it includes a bit of humor, sportsmanship, motivation, and inspiration:
- In what might be the worst (and most hysterical) interview ever, a TV anchor asks Mo Farah if he’s ever run before after his win at the Rock ‘n’ Roll New Orleans Half-Marathon: If you think this is funny, check out this post created by my boss, Mark Remy. It takes the clip to a whole new level.
- RW’s “Big Guy” blogger Ted Spiker wrote a short but sweet post about race-day perspective that even includes a nifty graphic. Head over and check it out!
- Though it isn’t running related, this clip about a high school basketball player is a heartwarming example of an incredible act of sportsmanship, and it is worth sharing. What makes it especially cool is that I went to Franklin High School. I’m definitely a proud Cougar alum! Watch it:
- This made me want to lace up and run, even though it was almost 9 p.m., via my Boston Bound, Steamtown Marathon racing buddy @WhitRunsThis:
- A good daily reminder, via Believe I Am:
- Love this. That is all.

QUOTE OF THE POST: “I’ve learned that finishing a marathon isn’t just an athletic achievement. It’s a state of mind that says anything is possible.” – John Hanc
That interview is so painful! I love how the reporter also asks Farah how you prepare for a marathon like this, and he tries to say he hasn’t run a marathon yet, which is twice the distance of what he just ran, but he looks forward to learning more about them. He comes off as so gracious.
Yeah I know! He’s definitely a class act. It’s still too good not to poke a little fun at, though! =) So, so funny!
Priceless interview!
