Happy Friday! My watch told me it's Friday, but I had no idea. First, name the band/song that inspired my post title and you get a prize. The prize isn't an actual thing of course, it's in the form of a tip of my cap and some kudos (not the delicious treat from my past, …

It’s a Run-derful Life – Merry Christmas!

OK, OK, so for me in my current situation there aren't a ton of miles being put in, but that doesn't make my life any less run-derful, or wonderful either. I'm still a jolly fellow. Ho, ho, ho! Merrrrrrrry Christmas!!! Last night, I sucked it up and went to my church's 7:00 Christmas Eve service …

Post Achilles Surgery Week 1 – Strap in, it’s Gonna be a While

Hello, friends! It's now been a week since I had surgery to repair my ruptured Achilles' tendon. To me, that means I'm one week closer to running again! I've had so many supportive people in my life since the injury and that's given me a ton to thank God for. As dark as this world …

My Running 2017 – Everybody’s Doing it

Hello, hello! I've been reading quite a few posts where runners are recapping their 2017s in running and I think that's a GREAT idea. It helps you find joy and success where before you may have found missed goals or disappointment. We runners tend to beat up on ourselves when things don't go as planned. …

Rehab Day 1 Comes Tomorrow – So Long, Running. See you in 6 months.

Hello everyone. I feel like lately I've been writing so many posts that I'd rather not be writing. Posts about missing goals and fighting tired, banged up legs.

Rehoboth Beach Marathon – Now Comes the Good Part

Happy Friday, friends! I wrote about my performance at Rehoboth earlier this week (read it here if you like sadder stories). It didn't go as I'd hoped or planned as far as the race goes, but I don't regret a thing. I spent some time with a truly amazing runners and even more amazing people. …

Rehoboth Beach Marathon – Body or Brain, Who’s to Blame? (Not a full race report)

I feel like I just did this 3 weeks ago. I had to write a post that I didn't really want to write, but was compelled to (if you want the origin story, it's here). I had another bad marathon. I'm convinced that really all marathons are bad, but some are definitely worse than others. …
