The idea of track geekdom, well, needs to be embraced. As a friend noted this evening, ” Oh my God, we are all just….geeks.” It was said with a touch of tenderness, and some pride.

So, with the help of Sara Hunninghake, the PR maven for the adidas Grand Prix NYC, here are helpful links that will make you seem oh so geeky to your friends, family, irritated spouses and significant others. RBR will be covering the MIni 10k live this coming am and also the adidas Grand Prix NYC! On twitter, as is my want, and then, dear readers, on runblogrun.com and www.runningnetwork.com sites!

Enjoy!
