In print: December 2009 Running Times

I have two pieces in the December 2009 Running Times: a profile of masters middle-distance ace Scott Hartley (not the first time I’ve shined the spotlight his direction) and a discussion of the new progress being made by American distance runners against the East African dominance in the track distances, as highlighted by the 2009 season and particularly the World Championships. It’s on your magazine racks if it hasn’t reached your mailbox.
