Stephan is training to run the Virgin London Marathon on April 17. The article includes quotes from Joe Shay and several references about Stephan's older brother Ryan. Stephan says about Ryan: "". . . people were afraid to train with him. He ran so hard." http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=6244331 ============================================ Flushing Half Marathon Postponed to Saturday, April 2 ============================================ Due to icy conditons on the roadways, the Flushing Half Marathon has been postponed to Saturday, April 2. The half marathon and 5K will begin at 9:30 am, Flushing High School. http://www.riverbendstriders.com/ ======================================================================= Mississauga and Toronto Slug It Out For Spring Marathon Supremacy, by Art McCafferty ======================================================================= Last fall, was the last fall marathon for the Toronto Marathon, as it was unceremoniously dropped from the city's event schedule so they could focus the city's resources on the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, the stronger race of late and the selection of the city. The Toronto Marathon, with city backing, decided to run the marathon in the spring, but selected the same date as the very popular Mississauga Marathon http://torontomarathon.com http://www.mississaugamarathon.com . With both races being held on May 15th and both drawing heavily from the Toronto area, there is a real battle going on for runners. We will check out the winner after the races this May. 2010 Results Mississauga Marathon - Results Mississauga, ON Canada May 16, 2010 Finishers: 1685, Males - 979 , Females - 706 Male Winner: 2:20:36 | Female Winner: 3:08:42 Average Finish Time: 4:13:47 | STD: 0:44:10

We talk with Gary about Michigan and RRCA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hayaFF2HlGk ================================================== Last Week's Archived and Graphic Michigan Running News ================================================== Due to a really strange technical glitch (don't ask), last week's Archived and Graphic Michigan Running News is at http://issuu.com/michiganrunner/docs/mrn_3-22-11. This issue has several dramatic photos of Gary Morgan's trek through the Grand Canyon. ======================================= See My Run in Theaters, Thursday, March 31 ======================================= The award-winning documentary MY RUN will be in more than 500 movie theaters nationwide for an exclusive one-night event on Thursday, March 31 at 7:00 p.m. Narrated by Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton, MY RUN is the inspirational story of Terry Hitchcock, the 57-year-old widower and father who ran from his home in St. Paul, Minn. to the opening ceremony of the summer Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. Tickets are available at participating theater box offices and online at http://www.FathomEvents.com. Learn more about the film and ways to share information about the film at http://www.myrunmovie.com. ================================== Road Scholar Application Period is Open ================================== The RRCA is accepting applications for Roads Scholar grants for 2011-2012. Please share this information with recent college graduates that show great promise to be an elite US distance runner. The deadline to apply is April 30. Stephan Shay is a member of the 2010 Road Scholar class. Learn more and apply today: http://www.rrca.org/programs/roads-scholars/ ===================================================== MRN on the Road: Lakeland, Orlando, Tampa, St. ,Pete Beach, FL ===================================================== LAKELAND: Caught last Tiger's Spring Training home game in the cozy, magical, Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. Part of the magic is that Tigertown in Lakeland rests on the World War II Airfield on which Herschel McCafferty taught pilots how to fly. Justin Verlander pitched seven innings and ran back and forth on the warning track when the relievers took over. Wish somebody would clock JV in a mile; he's pretty fast. Tiger Trot 5K is Saturday.

ORLANDO: Watch final round of Arnold Palmer's Invitational at Bay Hill Golf Club in Orlando.
