On the women’s side, Allison Hobeika hung on [...]

Friday Video – Parkour Deux

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Everyday I spend 10 or 15 minutes cleaning the iRun blog comments of hardcore spam. Cialis, Verne Troyer sex tapes, you name it. So I sez to myself… if this is going to happen anyway, I might as well post up some clips of people taking off their shirts, using questionable judgment, [...]

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I came across this priceless video montage of all the “Has this ever happened to you…” clips from various infomercials.  You know, the major challenges of modern life that ___________ can solve for $19.99.  Like pouring a glass of juice.  Or cracking an egg.  (My favourite is the woman who needs a product to help [...]

Organizers of the Lisbon Half Marathon in Portugal were not disappointed by their aspirations of hosting a world record dash, as Eritrean Zersenay Tadese smashed his own PB by 36 seconds en route to both new half marathon (58:22) and 20km world records (55:21).

The Lisbon Half Marathon, which has arguably become one of the world’s foremost half marathons, has attracted an exciting field to this Sunday’s start.
