The bean bags used to break the 50-mile joggling world record last weekend were 12 panel Dodeca Gballz. They are excellent for joggling because they are durable, don't absorb water or odors, and are perfectly sized (at least for my…
We first learned of Lenny Ferman from his excellent showing at this year's IJA Joggling Championships. He won the 3-ball 800 and 1600 events. We were fortunate to get this Jacksonville, Florida native to answer a few questions about his…
Last post on this race, I promise. I just got the results. The winner of this race did it in a blazing 5:31!! That's around a 6:40 pace which is what I can do in a 5K. Ridiculous. It turns…

The biggest race of my running season will be tomorrow. It will be my first ultra marathon and hopefully a successful breaking of the current 50-mile joggling record of 8:52:07. It was set in 1989 by the most prolific world…
