Weekend Wrap-Ups Before the Next Weekend
Some running clubs would post the results and recaps of their Saturday activities no later than, oh, maybe Sunday night? Not us MayMayosians! We’re trailblazers, trendsetters even, in the march toward expert procrastination. That said, here’s what happened last weekend, just in time for this weekend >>
Car Versus Elite Marathoner: Who Wins?
Let’s play a game. Get in your car and drive this weekend’s L.A. Marathon route all the way from Dodger Stadium, past Olvera Street and the Chinese Theater, down Sunset and Rodeo, eventually finding yourself gazing off the Santa Monica Pier at the vast, blue Pacific Ocean. How long do you think it’ll take you [...]
Would a Wii Motivate You?
Sticking with a training plan isn’t easy. I play all kinds of games with myself to get moving: “If I run two miles, I can enjoy this Pepsi.” “If I run two miles, my ‘thin pants’ will fit.” A couple weeks ago, I found new motivation while editing newsletters for iVillage: the Switch2Health Replay watch. [...]
I Don’t Have Worms (AKA Run to the EndZone 5K)
Local runs are the best. You can sleep a little later, the drive is short, and the competition isn’t as fierce as it is, say, in the metropolis of Greensboro. Except, of course, when that crazy-fast Jay guy shows up. You’d be surprised who you might find on the podium (an actual podium!). MMRCers Not-Barefoot-This-Time Josh and Iris avoided worms, got the cool shirt, won trophies and raffles, and tell you all about it >>

Shepard Fairey Studio Designs L.A. Marathon Poster
Angelenos get all the cool stuff—and the poster for the sold-out 2010 L.A. Marathon (March 21) proves it. This year marks the marathon’s 25th anniversary, which calls for a very special poster. The design is by artist Cleon Peterson from Shepard Fairey‘s Studio Number One (Fairey’s the guy behind the ubiquitous Obey and Giant designs, [...]
Weekend Plans? Run to the Endzone 5K in Eden
No plans this weekend? Want a shot at a cool $150? Then head on over to Eden for the Run to the Endzone 5K (Saturday, March 12; Morehead High School, 134 North Pierce Street). Register on-site between 7:00 and 8:45; run starts at 9:00. Top male and female finishers pocket a sweet Bennie-point-five—and the weather [...]
Power Up the Tower for MS Raises $12,000
Climb MS: Power Up the Tower, where participants climbed a whopping 30 flights of stairs in the Winston Tower on March 6, raised over $12,000 for multiple sclerosis research and groups. More than 250 people registered for this quad-busting event—perhaps bolstered by the allure of an indoor event during our unseasonably cold winter, as well [...]
MadMayo Rocks Their Mocksville Socks Off
The entire McLendon Gang and Barefoot Josh represent MMRC at the 2009 Mocksville Shamrock 10K. The morning is declared a success after wading through piles of Barbies, enchiladas, muffins, Transformers, and coffee (oh yeah, and a 6.2-mile run through the Pool Hall Capital of the Piedmont). Tamara McClendon is your host—buckle up and enjoy the ride >>
Is Your Refrigerator Running?
MMRC is contemplating moving its HQ to Costa Rica, where our group runs will be messed with only by monkeys and toucans instead of snow, ice, and sub-freezing temps. While we pack our running thongs (and we’re not talking footwear), read Barefoot Josh’s latest favorite links >>
