		<description><![CDATA[Running events are a boon to local business! The inaugural Blue Ridge Marathon on the Parkway attracted 942 runners, who in turn delivered about $350,000 in local revenue. Race directors also presented a $20,000 check to Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway. From the Roanoke Times: &#8220;The endurance athletes who ran up two mountains in Roanoke&#8217;s first marathon in 24 years brought with them $350,000 in economic activity, event organizers said. &#8220;The Blue Ridge Marathon on the Parkway helped generate revenue for hotels, restaurants and retailers when it was held over the last weekend in April, organizers said. &#8220;The economic study was the first glimpse of the event&#8217;s financial and marketing impact on the region. Event organizers said Tuesday that the 942 participating runners traveled from 34 states and England and in a post-race survey reported a high satisfaction rate of 99 percent. They cited the attractive course, amenities and community support.&#8221; Read the full article here [via Roanoke Times] &#62;&#62;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, love. Hearts, flowers, chocolates, and… the Valentine&#8217;s Day Massacre Marathon Relay! This Sunday, February 14, MMRC runners Barefoot Josh, Tamara, Blair, and Lori take on Country Park in 26.2 miles of relay glory. Rumor has it that Blair is wizard-crafting a magical baton. Will it make the team faster—or even better looking? After all, in today&#8217;s pre-race press conference, Barefoot Josh was quoted as saying, &#8220;Our motto is it’s better to look good than to be fast.&#8221; Read the full interview at Eddie Wooten&#8217;s Running Shorts blog &#62;&#62;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<b>Few running experiences can top a really good trail run.</b> Few things in life are as grueling as a bad trail run. How can a runner influence the whims of fate in his/her favor? I'm probably not the best person to give advice on the topic; however, that won't stop me from sharing my thoughts—so long as you don't hold me liable.

		<description><![CDATA[Eddie Wooten at Running Shorts has announced the winners of the 2009 Shorties—and MadMayosians are well represented (or stinkin&#8217; up the joint, depending on how you voted). Be sure to check out the profile of the shy and retiring Barefoot Josh in the &#8220;Best Decision That Helped You Get Faster&#8221; category. Iris gives a nod to the heaping helping of chili she inhaled after Run to Victory in &#8220;Best Finish Line Food.&#8221; Josh contributes his two cents in a few other categories. MMRC gives the Badass of 2009 award to Darin Wells, the fireman who ran the Gobbler in full regalia, earning him the Shortie for &#8220;Best Costume.&#8221; We might try adding a little self-containing breathing apparatus to our gear—maybe it&#8217;ll help on the uphills!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Need a little inspiration? Check out Eddie Wooten&#8217;s interview with John &#8220;the Penguin&#8221; Bingham, who will be at the Run to Victory in Randleman on December 13. (MMRCers Barefoot Josh and Iris will be there too!) Bingham is a self-described &#8220;adult-onset&#8221; runner, having gotten started in his forties (just like Iris!), and is a great inspiration to those of us running closer to the cleanup crew than the elites up front. If you&#8217;re on the fence about taking up running, read the interview, check out Bingham&#8217;s website, then get out there and get moving. You don&#8217;t have to be fast. Start by walking, then alternate 30 seconds of running with 30 seconds of jogging. You can do anything for 30 seconds, right?]]></description>
