In honor of this occasion, Michigan Runner TV brings our interview with Mr. Ambrose at the Fall 2001 Mid American Cross Country Championships. Between starts, Mr. Ambrose shared some highlights of his career with Michigan Runner TV. http://michiganrunner.tv/2002kambrose/ ================================================== Help Out The Running Industry; Take the National Runner Survey ================================================== Running USA and other organizations are looking for runners' feedback. Take a few minutes and complete the National Runner Survey. All responses are completely anonymous and confidential. To access the survey, go to: http://www.surveymk.com/s/RunningUSA_NRS2011 Select "Running USA" as the organization that invited you to participate.

Feel free to share this link with your running friends."

The survey is interesting, especially the question which asked which running celebrities do you recognize. I expect most readers of the email will recognize all of them. ============================================================== Don't confuse "Marathon Junkie" Chuck Engle with Ultramarathoner Charlie Engle ============================================================== It could be confusing, but these are two different people: "Marathon Junkie" Chuck Engle, from Dublin, Ohio, makes regular appearances in Michigan marathons: Carrollton Festival of Races, Grand Island Trail Marathon, Fallsburg Marathon, Charlevoix Marathon, and Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon. Engle not only runs many marathons, he usually wins them with times between 2:40 and 2:50. Chuck was recently profiled in Running Times by Jim Gerweck: http://runningtimes.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=21482 Recently, a Virginia court conficted another Engle, namely ultramarathoner Charlie Engle, of 12 counts fraud related to the mortgage business. http://tiny.cc/aejar Runner's World published a profile of Charlie Engle in 2008:

Scott was pleasantly surprised how well it was produced and that it focused on 4 teams among 500! By the end you felt part of each team. Scott particularly liked the male masters guys Dead Jocks in a Box. Terrific scenery, 197 miles, okay musical score, nice interviews spliced into the action. Scott gives it an A-.
