  • Adventures in Running, Part II

    Another video entry this week. Even though my Horsethief run and this run were over the course of 1 weekend, it has taken me almost a month to get both videos edited and uploaded.  I’m still getting the hang of this video editing business, plus it pushes my creatively challenged skills. The Back Story My local run club,…

  • Adventures in Running – Part 1

    A couple weeks ago, I wrote about living life and making new memories, and I admonished us all to quit reliving the old days. After all, who says the glory days have to be in the past. Part of my mission to make new memories is to try new places to run – find places…

    Identity Crisis

    I’ve been having an identity crisis of late.  Maybe it’s a midlife crisis or an existential crisis.  Maybe it’s not a crisis at all.  Maybe I’m just trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life and why.  My last post I wrote about running 16+ miles on the trails at the site of the…

    This Post has No Title

    So many thoughts  ramble through my head and seemingly disconnected thoughts at that.  I like to be busy, but then I feel like I never get any down time.  I get down time and then I feel lazy for just sitting around. I enjoy being a plant-based clean eater, but don’t want to come across as…

  • Covering New Ground

    Covering New Ground

    Slowly working my way back into some mileage this week.  I ended up with 24 miles this week which is up from 14.7 last week. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time looking through races and trying to choose which one should be my 50 miler and if I should sneak in a 50k…
