Notre Dame lost more rushing yards from its 2021 backfield (1,015) than the 2022 group returns in career yards (1,008). The lack of proven production and the injury history at the position certainly creates uncertainty heading into the 2022 season. Although the experience isn't ideal and the injury woes are problematic, the flip side is the Notre Dame running backs also return a deep and talented group of players. A key ingredient to Notre Dame's success this season needs to be the latter discussion - the talent - becoming the prominent story about this group. A look at the running back position heading into the 2022 season. COACHING TRANSITION Yes, Notre Dame must replace leading rusher Kyren Williams, but he wasn't the only loss this offseason.

These new Arc'teryx shoes simply don't have anything you don't want or need. For its third version of the Norvan LD (the latter letters stand for Long Distance), Arc'teryx has outfitted the shoe with a well-stacked, shock-absorbing Vibram Litebase sole finished with 4.0mm lugs, in a pattern that Vibram has dubbed Megagrip. The shoe is Hoka Running Shoes extremely light and features a minimal, durable upper that is in no way flashy (other than when found in the bright blue Fluidity colorway). The toebox is wide, to accommodate splay, and the stretchy tongue provides a comfortable, friction-free fit. ...

Fewer D.C. shoeshine men were as much fun to watch work as Tony “White Pony” Lugthart, who died of liver cancer on June 11 at the age of 62. I was a customer of White Pony Tony’s, regularly settling into the well-upholstered stand he had in the window of McCormick & Schmick’s on K Street NW. Over the years, Hoka Sneakers Tony operated other stands around town — including on the Hill and at Reagan National Airport — but that two-seater wa...
