Racewalking Article Archives— Links to Published Articles

These are links to my articles and my original copies of articles (most in pdf format), I've written for the Active.com web site, Walking Magazine, Walk! and other periodicals. The magazines edited them further, so I guess reproducing the originals isn't copyright infringement... But please don't do anything blatantly illegal with them that would get me arrested or deported, ok? There are also a number of articles that I did not write, but within which I am quoted.
