This is going to be one of my longer blog posts of the season and it will give you a real, no holds barred look at the life of a long hauler.  This may not be for people who lack testicular fortitude.  Or who can't read, because th...

I told the New Fairfield guys that I ran with that the first thing I would mention was that they took me on the hardest run I have been on yet with a team.  This isn't posing a challenge to any other schools, mind you all, it is just a statement. ...
