Sledge hockey is a rough and tumble hockey game Paralympians play while sitting on a sled or sledge. It is not for the couch potatoes.

Sledge hockey is a sport that was introduced during the 1994 Lillehammer Games in Norway. The game is very similar to ice hockey in that each team has a goalie, two defensemen and three forwards. Players maneuver themselves around the ice by the use of two sticks. These are three feet long and have spikes on the end allowing the player to dig in and propel himself along the surface.

Marathons are no longer reserved for elite runners. Increasingly, more and more people are walking marathons. It’s a great sport for older people, former couch potatoes, and people who never thought of themselves as athletic. Marathon walkers face some of the same training challenges as marathon runners, but they also have some unique obstacles as well. For the persistent, however, it’s a great sport.

The word marathon is meant to inspire terror. It’s a 26.2 mile run that takes even super athletes hours to complete. You can’t just sign up and do a marathon. You have to train rigorously to even have a hope of finishing. So why do some people think this is fun?
