Extra, Extra - Run All About It

Extra Extra By  Peter Washkowitz

Dear readers, let's take a look back at the (slow) week in running:

* As reported in the New York Times on August 24th, While he doesn’t expect to run faster than a speeding bullet, Matthew Reeve, son of movie star Christopher Reeve, is continuing his preparations for November’s New York City Marathon. Despite admitting that he used to ‘loathe’ running in his younger years, Reeve decided to honor his father’s efforts in supporting programs and research for spinal cord injuries by raising money for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation through running this year’s marathon. A first-time ‘thoner, Reeve’s ultimate goal “would be $10,000 a mile. That’s the moonshot number. But even to raise $1,000 a mile is very motivating”. Reeve just hopes there isn’t any kryptonite in the water during the marathon (note: this fact has not been corroborated by any news source). Good luck, Matt!
