Vancouver Meet-up with Yaro Starak and John Chow
May 7, 2008 by Jimson Lee
My Blog started as the book I never published. I liked the features of Wordpress for a CMS (content management system) and how it handles multiple categories and tags. If you like to write and want a way to brain dump your thoughts into linkable chapters, then Wordpress is the only way to […]

Here is the video from YouTube (Usain Bolt is in Lane 4):

Olympic Torch Protesters Scale Golden Gate Bridge - Ties Tibetan Flag to Cable
April 8, 2008 by Jimson Lee
One of the charities Speedendurance.com supports is the Vairotsana Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA.
With all the civil unrest going on between China and Tibet, we are happy to see non-violent demonstrations in protest of human rights (or lack of in this case).
While I don’t support a boycott for this summer’s Olympics, I think more people […]

Michael Johnson’s Nike Golden Spikes - Step Aside!
January 24, 2008 by Jimson Lee
Nike designs new running spikes for Asafa Powell
This article from The Jamaica Observer made me realize the power of branding in the marketing wars between Nike and Adidas.
We all remember Michael Johnson for the Golden spikes in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
The first prototype won’t be revealed until Powell competes in his first race in […]

Building a Better Runner by RunningDVDs .com
January 5, 2008 by Jimson Lee
Introduction
I’ve reviewed my fair share of training videos in the past and was very happy to see this DVD didn’t focus on selling a gadget, or belong to the “answer to success is core stability” camp. Visions of Paul Chek come to mind.
I’m a big fan of going back to basics and keeping things […]

Coach Jackson’s most famous athlete was Bobby Morrow, who won 3 gold medals at the 1956 Olympics in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4×100 meter relay.
I still have the Life magazine with Bobby Morrow on the front cover, but not in mint condition. Maybe it’s time to sell it on eBay?
I will post […]
USA 1980 Olympians finally get “Congressional” Gold Medals
December 23, 2007 by Jimson Lee
The spring of 1980 is still vivid in my memory. It was the year of my high school graduation, and hometown hero Bruce Roberts of Chateauguay, Quebec, would be going to Moscow for the Olympics for the 800 meters.
I would have loved to see him battle it out with Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe.
I […]

Many thanks to Brain Gardner for this new look. Several readers were not accustomed to the differences between a Blog and a Web site, and that they preferred a newspaper style approach to reading valuable content on this site.
