My 100-mile Journey through New York City
By Lisa Cao on 08/25/2014
Over my past six months at Maxus, one of the things I have enjoyed was sharing my passion for running with my co-workers. I even started a Maxus running club in the NYC office as a way to encourage runners of all levels to gather after work. This summer, I embarked on the memorable adventure of running a 100-mile footrace, the Great New York 100 Running Exposition (TGNY 100). I have been an avid marathon runner for many years, and completing this race with the support of my friends and co-workers was a dream come true for me.
I started running marathons when I was 18, and a few years later, I discovered the world of ultramarathons (any foot race longer than the standard 26.2 mile marathon). The most common distances are 50K, 50 miles, and 100 miles—and they can be as long as 135 or 200 miles (I haven’t gotten that far yet)! I found that running gave me focus, kept my mind and body healthy, helped me make great friends, and taught me a lot about goal-setting. These are all things that have helped me in my career at Maxus.
Opportunities with the US Open

Many passionate fans viewed streaming content of their favorite sport this past June and July on WatchESPN. No, I’m not talking about World Cup futbol. I’m talking about Wimbledon tennis. The ATP and WTA tours play all year long, but right now is a great time of the year as Wimbledon is just behind us, and the North American hard court season leads up to the US Open.
For the Love of (Football) Training!
By Spencer Bahler on 08/07/2014
When I was driving in my car the other day, I was listening to a sports report announcing the return to NFL Training Camp. This caught me off guard, as I felt it was way too early in the Summer for this to be happening. But despite my strong desire to hold onto the 90-degree weather for many more weeks to come, this indeed was true – NFL Training Camp is in full swing!
For those of you who aren’t aware, Training Camp is the annual gathering of NFL players and coaches, to align as a team, to get back into peak physical and mental shape, to run scrimmages, and to go through drills and other sessions to prepare for the upcoming season.
