As we live blog today, we wanted to give you an idea what the Festival Zone is really like.  Unfortunately, without “credentials” we weren’t “allowed” to bring a “video camera” in.  So, this may induce seizures - we haven’t tested the technology.  Consider yourself warned.

Testing the folks on Pre’s Trail to see how well they know the trail’s namesake.

We explore Pre’s legacy in the land where his legend was lauded made.

We sit down with Chris Solinsky for an intimate interview about his first Trials experience.

We must admit - it’s been two weeks on the road now and we’re getting a little homesick.  So we dive back into the vault to give you a little sense of why:  this was our swing through hometown, Cincinnati and our respective boyhood homesteads on our way out here.

Toni Reavis visits with Chris Solinsky for the LetsRun Trials Show.  Some really interesting discussion.

We sit down with the founder of Runnerspace.com — you can take a minute, ONE MINUTE to go see what that’s all about exactly — and we get the dirt on how to hold up your dad for cash, and the South-American-style politics of Internet running media.

Thursday night’s action on the track includes the Men’s 1500m and Steeple.  So, we decided to dip into our archives and take a look back at one of our stops on the road last week, in which we visited with competitors in those events — Jeff See and Brian Olinger — at their place of employment: Second Sole, a running specialty store outside of Columbus.

[ Ed. note: both Brian and Jeff advanced in their prelims on Thursday. ]

Consider this a public service — we’ll be testing out all the best places to run in and around Eugene, and taking you along for the ride.  First up, we check out the “Rexius Trail.” And it’s official: Rexius = Sexiest.
