__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: KEITH AND KEVIN HANSON, PART II - Keith and Kevin Hanson's Olympic Development Program successes are well-known in running circles; however, a front-page Wall Street Journal story June 10, 2003 spread their story wider. Then, on July 30, Brooks Sports announced a five-year sponsorship which will help the brothers extend their program to women athletes. Jennie McCafferty talks with Keith and Kevin about Michigan weather and other elements of their program.

__/ BILL'S RUN RICHMOND RUN TO BE RESCHEDULED - Bill's Run Richmond Run, planned for August 16, was one casualty of last weekend's blackout. The Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Richmond cancelled the Sixth Annual Bill's Run Richmond. They hope to reschedule the race in October. Check the city's Website at http:/ /www.ci.richmond.mi.us. We'll announce the new date also.

__/ JOHN ROGUCKI MEMORIAL KENSINGTON CHALLENGE ADDS NEW OVERALL CATEGORY - The John Rogucki Memorial Kensington Challenge on September 20 has a new race award structure to announce. In addition to Open and Masters "Overall" categories, the JRMKC has added a Senior "Overall" category for those males and females who are 60+. For more information see http://aatrackclub.org/ Events/Events-Kensington.htm.

__/ MILFORD LABOR DAY 30K NEEDS VOLUNTEERS - Doug Klingensmith needs more volunteers to help with a bigger turnout for the 3rd Milford Labor Day 30K. Those of you who are running the 30K can help with race-day registration and numbers. Friends and family can be course marshals and aid-station volunteers. Contact Doug at (248) 685- 7580 or dklingens1@aol.com.

__/ PART VII: DOUG KURTIS MARATHON TRAINING SERIES: PREVENTING INJURIES - Doug has kept injuries at bay during his long running career. In this segment, Doug talks about what he does to prevent injuries. The twelve part series is sponsored by Running Fit (http://runningfit.com). Doug's training charts are suitable for First Timers, Intermediate, Advanced, and Ace marathoners. http:// michiganrunner.tv/ 2003marathon/.

__/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK - "I still get goose bumps when thinking about representing our country in athletic competition." -- Clint Verran, Runner's World Online. Clint will be running the marathon at the IAAF World Championships in Paris, August 30.

__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER RACE SERIES - Race series events are open to Michigan residents; you do not have to register with the Michigan Runner to participate. Each runner's top 10 results will count at the conclusion of the series. Another way to think about this is that each runner's worst results will be thrown out. Missing one race will not hurt anyone's standings. For results and standings see http:// michiganrunner.net/news/raceseries03_standings.html
