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 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 admonish myself
First, no #FridayReads today – I finished The Punch Escrow as I got home, yesterday, and I haven’t started a new book just yet. All said, I enjoyed the book – but don’t know if I’d recommend it. I knew it would be fluff, but as you continue through it, you have to turn off… Continue reading Where I admonish myself
Where I attempt to direct ambition
I ran this past weekend1. It, truly, felt good to be on the road again — and it got me thinking about what the upcoming year is going to bring, run-wise. You see, last year, there was a lot of suck – but there was also my vanquishing two long-term goals. First, I wanted to… Continue reading Where I attempt to direct ambition
Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut
The plan was straight-forward: I’d ensure that I have enough time, on the weekday mornings mornings, to do all of the things I need to do1 and get a bare-bones work out2 in. Even if workout plans for the whole day fall apart, the theory was, I, at least, started the day with more pull-ups… Continue reading Where I wonder where the time goes as I break out of a rut
Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared
So, wow. Um, hi! I guess it’s been a little while. The absence? Well, it wasn’t entirely a conscious one. You see, every day, there’s a little thought in the back of my head where I’m hoping to write a blog post — but, in the past year, I guess, that little thought has never… Continue reading Where I step back & realize I’ve disappeared
