U.S. Champ Tyler Pennel Tells You How To Not Fuck Up Your First Marathon
Prior to Sunday, Tyler Pennel had never run a marathon. In fact, to prepare for 26.2 miles, the farthest the 26-year-old North Carolina resident had run was 23 miles in training. Didn't matter.

When he and the Cavaliers play ...

Can The Chicago Marathon Get Back In The World-Record Game?

Michael Vick Admits To Slacking, Should Have Just Lied
