Scott Douglas’ Terse Bloviation

I’ve been published on running in Runner’s World, the Washington Post, Slate, Running Times, Marathon and Beyond, Continental’s inflight magazine, Washington City Paper, Men’s Fitness, Women Outside and Women’s Sports + Fitness, among others. Below are links to some samples. The dates given for each are the issue date of the publication; in most cases, they were written a few months before that. (At this point, I’ve put up only articles that I can link to elsewhere. If there’s a great groaning from creation for pontification circa the mid 90s, maybe I’ll get around to posting really old stuff on this site.)
