Good friends run with you. Very good friends go running with you even when they aren’t runners and, in fact, hate running. When I told Alysia I was coming to visit, and I asked how far away a particular Thanksgiving Day 5K was from her place, I was gobsmacked when she [...]

Chris took this video at the Expo the night before the marathon! “Three-fifty!” Wow, innocence.

Oh. My. Where do I start?! I ran the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday, October 25th, and in return, the Marine Corps Marathon chewed me up and spat me on the ground.
I had very high hopes for the race. It was a gorgeous day! I had met up the night [...]

Hey, did you guys know this weekend was the Worldwide Festival of Races? You can still register and participate if you want, I believe! Last year, I ran the Festival’s 10K, but this year, the half-marathon lined up quite nicely with my taper for Marine Corps.
Like last year, I ran alone [...]

Since Sean wasn’t there to take pictures this year (miss you guys!), I was pleased to see that there was at least one decent shot from yesterday. Running in the USA has over 500 photos, and I saw a bunch of people I know, so if you ran yesterday, it’s definitely worth [...]

EDIT: I came in second in my age group! They’ll mail me my medal.
That…that was warm. I appreciate what you’re saying, Cory, about other climes being much hotter, but we’re used to something a bit more temperate up here, and we train most of the time [...]

The short story: 3:54. In the Inaugural Wisconsin Marathon, I broke 4 hours.
The long story begins around mile 7; before that, it was business as usual. I lined up in the Cheesehead starting corral, which put me in front of roughly 1,975 other people (2,000 were running, 600 of which were [...]

(Why is it that whenever a video cuts to a shot from within the recording, it always picks the frame where I look like a complete idiot?)

It’s a good day to be thankful – for all the major things, of course, like health, family, God’s providence, freedom, and chocolate. Today I’m especially thankful for opportunities to laugh, as they just make the rest of life so much easier. It’s hard to feel sober when your four-year-old is “breakdancing” with [...]

Today, I went out and ran 10K for the Worldwide Festival of Races! As of right now, I’m in fifth place for the 10K race, and first place for women! Of course, the Festival lasts all weekend, so I doubt I’ll stay in that position for long. Still, go [...]
