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 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 ponder why I’m pondering what I’m pondering
“Dad, what’s the hottest pepper?” That came from my son, the other day. I mentioned that I thought it was the ghost pepper, but that I was hardly an authoritative source. Apparently, it’s a new “Pepper X”. My kids claim pepperoni is way too spicy. Why do they care about hot peppers? I know late-night… Continue reading Where I ponder why I’m pondering what I’m pondering
Where I poke my head in during a busy streak
So it’s been far too long since I’ve posted – and as I’m wont to do when I try to get myself back in a writing groove, I present bullet points: As soon as Duffy and the kids leave for school in the morning, Luna, my cat, likes to follow me around. Every now &… Continue reading Where I poke my head in during a busy streak
Where I look at 2017 Resolutions
So 2016 is coming to an end. And I say good riddance. There is no shortage of things which leave me happy for new beginnings: the election results, Prince’s unexpected death, the election, the arrest of a friend, Donald Fucking Trump, Carrie Fisher. But when I look at why I’m disappointed in 2016, I’m realizing… Continue reading Where I look at 2017 Resolutions
Where I check in with some random
I ran the Harrisburg Marathon I fared a good bit better than I did during my last marathon. I came in nowhere close to the 4 hours in which I was hoping to finish, but I felt good about my effort. Basically, I started out really strong, and was feeling great. I don’t know if… Continue reading Where I check in with some random
Where I inspect humility
I don’t think it’s a surprise to any of you that I take Tang Soo Do with both of my children. As an adult, I stand in a strange place in class — I’m certainly a student, I don’t know everything I need to know, but I’m an adult, and a parent at that, and… Continue reading Where I inspect humility
Where nostalgia leads to ice cream and apples and childhood memories
There is something about this time of the year, and I just love it. The air is getting colder, but it’s not yet “cold.” Many a morning, I’ll find myself wanting to lie in the bed, blankets curled tight around me, living in that area between “asleep” and “dozing,” as a cool, crisp breeze comes… Continue reading Where nostalgia leads to ice cream and apples and childhood memories
Where I think back on the past 1000 days
We all know I can’t go too long without talking about diet & exercise . . . and, with today marking 1000 consecutive days on My Fitness Pal, I really thought I’d give an update to thoughts & stuff from what I’m doing, how I’m approaching life, and what I’m doing in a constant battle… Continue reading Where I think back on the past 1000 days
Where I’m a bit random on a Friday
Work has been especially odd lately . . . I’m blaming myself for most of the bad stuff — basically, someone will come to me & ask “how long would it take to build a web app which can do this or that,” and I’ll give an answer. My problem is that, while I always… Continue reading Where I’m a bit random on a Friday
