Tom Bedford and I spoke a couple weeks ago on the Richmond RUNFEST and many topics, including the upcoming British Olympic Marathon Trials and British Marathon Championships in 2021. Tom has been a good friend for almost 2 decades. Tom has a well developed sense of humor, and has developed a skill set to manage events and build successful events. Tom and his wife, Jade, built the Richmond RUNFEST from scratch.

We thank Tom Bedford on his time and Mike Deering on producing #socialingthedistance.

"During the first jump in the warm-up I cut my hand with the spikes so I need to go to the hospital now. I am happy I could jump with injured hand and managed to jump my season's best."

.@heathair31 is working on facing her fears and getting comfortable being uncomfortable this season, and it's paying off. Last week, she became the 12th American woman ever to run a sub-4:00 1500m, ...with a runner-up finish at the Monaco Diamond League meet.
