I was on the news and in a magazine
Thanks to everyone for the kind words on my last post. I’m sure I’ll get through this, and somehow be better for it. At least I have some friends coming to town this week to take take my mind off fractures.
I heard a rumor that on Sunday channel 7 news used a stock clip of me from last fall, where I was ducking under caution tape to keep running past a land slide on the bike trail. My sister saw it, and told me, but didn’t have her Tivo running. I remember the camera crew, they were filming around Thanksgiving.
Also, I heard the last issue of Northwest Runner Magazine had an article with a picture of me titled something to the effect of “Can really expensive gear make you as fast as Ben Collins?” This issue, unfortunately, was no longer available when I heard about it.
I have that issue of NW Runner around here somewhere. If I find it before Sunday I’ll bring it with me to give to you/Courtenay.
Hey Ben,

Sound familiar? (It’s from a webcomic I read.)
I’m sorry to hear about your injuries. I wish you a speedy recovery!
Once you get the article you should scan it and post it online, like I did when they wrote an article about me a few years back: http://christremonte.com/articles/NWRunner-Oct06-inside.html
