Great Expectations: By Bryan Green
Posted by TheRunning
Galen Rupp ran another PR on Saturday. His 13:10.05 at Gateshead moved him up to 8th on the US all-time list, just .05 seconds away from Adam Goucher--the man once thought to be America's next great hope at 5000m--and yet the performance was met with little of the fanfare we might have expected just two years ago.

A Brief Chat With Nicole Blood
Posted by TheRunning
Nicole Blood won the 10,000 and 5000 at the Pac-10 Championship May 15 and 16 in California, becoming the first University of Oregon woman to “double” in those events since 1990.
The American Beaver (Castor canadensis) was named Oregon
state animal by the 1969 Legislature. Prized for its fur, the beaver
was overtrapped
by early settlers and eliminated from much of its original range. Through
proper management and partial protection, the beaver has been reestablished
in watercourses throughout the state and remains an important economic
asset. The beaver has been referred to as "nature's engineer," and
its dam-building activities are important to natural water flow and
erosion control. Oregon is known as the “Beaver State” and
Oregon State University's athletic teams are called the "Beavers."
