Going for Gold: Aiming for 5k PR

Tomorrow I am running in the Cornhusker State Games Energy 5k race for the third year in a row. Two years ago, I raced to a silver in my age group. Last year, bronze in my age group. Medal that’s missing? Gold. What does the watch say? Let’s just say the...

Downhill Slalom: Long Way Home

DOWNHILL SLALOM! Howdy folks, it’s “downhill slalom week” on my 365-day runstreak. Just reached 183 days today so only 182 days to go to 365. Finally over the hump, past the 50-yard line, seeing the shrinking side of the rest of the year. It has been difficult. Digging deep to find my running core. Above […]

When I saw the numbers and that they aligned with my favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13 (“I can do […]

The Odor of Effort

A few weeks ago, we were having a great #RunChat on Twitter when a very interesting question surfaced, something like: do your running clothes smell or stink?
