a new look for the ARFE blog

Here's proof that the green movement is taking off: Al Gore and his team win Best Oscar for Best Documentary; Al Gore, showing charisma the likes of which might have served him well during the election, uses his moment in the limelight to urge us to renew our hope for a brighter, greener future.



Also: Oscar goes carbon-neutral. Pshaw! ARFE was way ahead of you, Oscar! Now, where's our personal nod from Leonardo? Show me merino-wool gowns and tuxes, blue recycling bins everywhere, and a Best Garbage Program.

But really, I'm not here to harp on Oscar. Here's the real news of the day...the ARFE blog is diversifying. Here's our lineup from now on:

Mondays: News roundup

Tuesdays: Race Report Team Captain Bruce Swanson brings you the race report from the previous weekend's race, if there's been a race. If not, Bruce will give you some idea of his workout over the weekend, and a look at his training week to come. If you're lucky, he might even throw in a good training tip!

Wednesdays: A Visit from Our Resident Science Geek: Master's Team Captain Jim Holden gives us a sneak peek into the world of sports science and nutrition.

Thursdays: The Dark Corners of a Race Director's Brain: Resident race directors Shawn Dietrich (WeCeFAR and Dave Kauffman (Planet Adventure give you a rare glimpse into the workings of putting together a race.

Fridays: Green Reg's and Tofurkey. Jim Holden and Chris Edmundson tell tales and share tips from the world of getting a major conosumer goods corporation and Chris' hospital to Go Green.

Saturdays and Sundays: Sprocket's Roundup. Everyone's favorite four-legged mascot tells us what's running through his brain. Random links, running race reports, news and fun bits.

We hope you'll enjoy the new ARFE blog, and look forward to hearing your comments!

Cheers,
