Hello Trouble Makers! I have been meaning to post here for quite some time . . . but I’m lazy. Or especially non-lazy but very busy. Or, as I have vowed to say, time and time again, blogging has not been a priority for me. But I am here. Since last I posted, I, um,… Continue reading Where I log in after a long hiatus so that I can tweet a story

Where I wore my running shoes
I don’t really remember how I ended up associated with this race – but I feel like it must have been associated with World Naked Cycling Day or something. I probably posted a pouty tweet because I didn’t know that naked cycling was a thing until after the naked cycling day when someone asked me… Continue reading Where I wore my running shoes
Where I share an odd dream
Yeah – I’m still here. I am still Daddy Runs a Lot – I am still running as often as possible, and the kids . . . well, they’re still there. What I haven’t been doing much, at all, is writing. Not here, not at that other blog. Heck, I’ve barely been reading as of… Continue reading Where I share an odd dream
Where I experience a running first
Eight years ago, this week, I ran my first marathon. Since that time, there have been a LOT of runs. I’m pretty sure I have run 15 marathons. I can’t count the half marathons, 5k’s, mile fun-runs, and everything in between. When you’ve run a bunch, the opportunities for “wow, that’s never happened before” dwindle… Continue reading Where I experience a running first
Where your intrepid, irregularly posting blogger writes of his ouchie
Last month, I had a vasectomy – and while I read TONS of “what to expect” posts online, they were all written by urologists. It’s all great to get a doctor’s explanation of “what to expect”, but I found very few “this is what it was like” from a “normal guy1” postings. Birth control is… Continue reading Where your intrepid, irregularly posting blogger writes of his ouchie
Where I start a new workout plan
Hey everyone – it’s me! You know, that goofy guy who pretends to write every now & then! Well, I’m still around. Obviously, I’m not writing as much as I once did. Simply, other things have taken precedence in the hierarchy of priorities in my life. These days, if it’s not actively ensuring the welfare… Continue reading Where I start a new workout plan
Where I break down a bad run
Yesterday, I ran my fifteenth marathon . . . and it didn’t go so well. You’ll have to excuse me for a minute while I use this space to break down just what happened. So I ran the York Marathon — normally, this event would have been a huge *nope*. You see, just two-weeks prior,… Continue reading Where I break down a bad run
Where I listen to some deep fantasy
So I finished Pretty Girls – and was left underwhelmed. I like dark – and that story was certainly dark, but there were, simply, so many questions about how things were possible, who was involved, how those who were involved in the grand conspiracy. The best to which I can equate the story would be… Continue reading Where I listen to some deep fantasy
Where I Present the Continuing Adventures of the Bad Dog
I’m still working my way through Pretty Girls, so there won’t be a Friday Reads post — the book has me hooked . . . the story seems to be getting away with itself, with each plot twist being a bit more unbelievable than the last, but I’m loving the ride on which the story… Continue reading Where I Present the Continuing Adventures of the Bad Dog
Where I listen & wait for the next cliffhanger
What I’m listening to: Karin Slaughter‘s Pretty Girls When I started: Monday Afternoon How Much I’ve Listened: 6 of the 37 chapters What I’m liking: After the last book, which seemed to increasingly insult my intelligence as the plot progressed, I’m liking this book, more & more, as things unfold. Honestly, at this point, I’m… Continue reading Where I listen & wait for the next cliffhanger
