A year long goal to run 2,000 miles in 2011 is fulfilled with hours to spare.
A South Orange man recently fulfilled his goal of running 2,000 miles in the year 2011. And he did most of it in custom running sandals he and his wife make themselves. After a great deal of research and trial and error, Rich Gladstone, and his wife, Jennie Amias, have a fledgling business in crafting and selling what they now call GladSoles. Spurred on by Gladstone’s running “addiction,” inspired by the Vibram FiveFinger ('gorilla-toed') shoes, ancient Huarache sandals and Christopher McDougall’s book Born To Run; and encouraged by positive reviews from friends and family, the couple began showcasing their footwear to the public this summer. “For me, it’s so worth it.

Udland leaves MHS with records and medals and as one of the best runners in school history.
No name has been more synonymous with Millburn sports over the last four years than Tyler Udland. He finished his stellar high school career with wins in the conference, county and section in the 3,200 meter event, and with a sectional championship in the 1,600. He was fifth in the state in the two-mile, second in all of Group 3, ran the first sub nine-minute 3,200 in the state this season and placed fifth at the Penn Relays in the 3,000. Even through an injury plagued junior spring where his running was compromised, Udland graduated two weeks ago with two Meet of Champions titles, five individual county championships, seven sectional titles and two Group 3 crowns. “Spring was great. Some of the times I was able to run I was thrilled with…
