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 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.

Every now &… Continue reading Where I poke my head in during a busy streak

Where I share my end of run thoughts

So, I’ve been running a fair bit more, lately. I’m still trying to figure out just what my running schedule will be throughout the year, but I do know I’ll be in Disneyworld, in April, running the Dark Side Challenge. And, howevermuch I like to claim that I can just “pull a half marathon out… Continue reading Where I share my end of run thoughts
