Catching up ... on random stuff

I've been busy with the end of the semester approaching and haven't been able to post much the past week or two ...

The debate on what sports journalism should be and where the profession is going continued down at the Poynter Institute in Florida where they held a Sports Journalism Summit last week. Here is the event's blog and here is Jason Whitlock's  of the Kansas City Star take on the whole debate (he attended the Summit)

Today is the marathon here in Boston - I have it going on the TV in the background. I've been mulling over whether to start running again and shoot for running the Boston Marathon next year (for my 40th birthday - wow, it was hard to type that number). After 20 plus years of pounding the pavement, I stopped running three years ago. I was just tired of it, had had a baby, and wanted to focus on yoga and stretching my hamstrings for once. Running makes you fit, but it's an inflexible fit. But every once in a while, I really miss it and I miss running races. I think I need one last hurrah.
