First you get some turkey. Then you scoop on some potatoes, both mashed and sweet. Find those green beans and make some room on your plate for the stuffing. For good measure, dump cranberry sauce and gravy over everything. Be sure to save room for the pumpkin and pecan pies, topped with a dollop of whip cream, of course. Add it all together, and you’ve got yourself a Thanksgiving meal. (via Runner's World)

After last year’s scintillating record run of 14:28 by Sean McGorty(Chantilly, Fairfax, VA), it would seem there would be lull before someone could challenge the record again. But, in recent years the hallowed ground of 14:30s is not so sacred anymore and the talent keeps coming in waves. (Photo by Chris Kane)

  MileStat.com's predictions for Virginians at the 2013 Foot Locker South Regional. We are confident in projecting three girls to San Diego in Caroline Alcorta, Hannah Christen, and Allie Klimkiewicz along with one boys qualifier in Louis Colson. The two that we feel are 50/50 up in the air on their chances to make it to nationals via top 10 finishes in the seeded race are Lake Braddock senior Katy Kunc in the girls' race and 6A state champion Jack Stoney of Oakton in the boys' race.
