Young Man On The Run

[GTF]

Not exactly a 'news' article, since it is from 1974, yet quite remarkable for both the vision and daring to undertake and see-through such a task as running from Mexico to Canada at such a young age as well as the ability to commit it to the written word so well at that age.  Running blogs and race reports should aspire to such excellence, one of the best articles on running that I have read in quite a while:

Wow, that was a great read.  Especially considering that he was close to my age.
