They would go on to win the national championship – beating Ohio State, 46-33, on March 27, 1939. This was […]

Getting that Spring in Your Step

The weather’s a-changing… time to start running
Avatar photo Magdalena Bokowa

Maybe it’s the hot neon lycra, the tiny water-bottle waistbands or the sultry sweatiness a runner exudes while hammering the trail, but there’s just something about that slender yet strong physique that makes one long to be a runner. With all that talk about that mythical “runner’s high,” there’s something to say about striving for […]
