Exciting things are happening at Lake Superior Zoo including Zoo School as they prepare to start their school year session.

We were at Sam's Club when we ran into a former neighbor who was looking for a stand up paddle board or SUP.  I told him my daughter had one and he asked if it was registered.  I didn't realize they needed to be registered and thought maybe others didn't either so I did the research and this is what they say.

Just say the word marathon and my confidence level drops.  I have run several half marathons and am currently training for another, my goal is always just to finish.  That's because I think just finishing is an unrealistic goal for me.  I never thought about an inline skate marathon until Skeeter Moore showed me how easy it could be.

If you're looking for incentive to join in the fun waiting at the 28th Annual Fitger's 5k with Grandma's Marathon benefiting the Young Athletes Foundation, this should do it!  Remember, they are capping the entries at 2,000 and I guarantee it'll fill up fast.  By the way, if you're training for Grandma's Half or Full Marathon, this is a great training race!

I was recently asked to join a volleyball league this summer.  I use to play three nights a week but haven't for years.  I'm going to "just do it" this year rather than say I'll think about it and not give it another thought.  Volleyball was my thing.  If softball is/was your thing, "just do it", don't just think about it this time.  The City of Duluth's adult softball league r

Here's your heads up to register for the 27th Annual Fitger's 5k Run & Walk with Grandma's Marathon benefiting the Young Athletes Foundation.  They are capping the entries at 2,000 and I guarantee it'll fill up fast.  If you've been training for Grandma's Half or Full Marathon, this is a great training race!

Dangerous thunderstorms Sunday morning forced the cancellation of the Minneapolis Marathon.  This must be so hard for the runners who train long and hard for the race, only to have their moment taken away due to weather. Grandmas Marathon has stepped up and now runners have a chance to get a marathon in yet this month.

Grandma's Marathon caps the William A. Irvin 5K at 2,000 runners, a 100 runner increase from last year.  Will you be part of the pack?  Besides the Whippersnapper Races, this is the kick-off to Grandma's Marathon weekend.  WAY more than 2,000 people register for a bib number for this race, so mark your calendars for March 13, that's when registration opens for this popular race!

It's always hard to think about June and Grandma's Marathon with temperatures below zero and snow on the ground but honestly, training for some is year round.  One thing you DO have to think about, whether you've made the decision to run the Garry Bjorklund half marathon or not is getting your name in the lottery NOW.  Registration opens Monday, it's your first step to insure you are on the 13.1 m
