Running has brought me a lot of things over the years. One of the most important things running has brought into my life is friendship and community. After several years of battling a variety of different nagging injuries that have kept me from being as much of a part of the running community as I would want to be I was feeling a little lost in my pursuit of running. I have… Read More

At this point I have not been able to run regularly for around 2 months. In mid April I decided to try to run 3 miles at our local group run, because my leg had been feeling fine with everything else I had been doing, which excluded only running. I ran 3 miles.

Then I developed a love of football and played football throughout high school. But developing a new sports love as an adult is a whole new joyful experience. Welcome to my life running.

I don’t usually write or release as many blog posts so close together as I have this week. My post regarding my running goals was meant to come out much earlier this year. But I just could not get myself to write it. Maybe I was afraid because I was committing to big goals and didn’t want to put it out there and commit. But now I am facing a real challenge… Read More

The Wineglass Marathon is a great local event that runners attend from all over. It is where I ran my first ever half marathon. I have stood along the course and cheered and photographed runners for several years. And the last three years I have volunteers as bike support for the event.

Looking back on 2024 I realize that I ran more races than I thought I had. In running we have a way of really focusing oin a our big goals. That “A” race we spent all year targeting and train gin for. Did we hit that goal. It is really easy to lose sight of everything else we did that year. This can be especially true if our big goals doen’t come… Read More
