FollowClimb Every Mountain!
Let’s talk seriously about mountain climbing and chasing dreams. Sometimes (like amidst a frigid polar vortex) as runners we seek out epic, tough challenges, to dream big, to truly get outta Dodge, “leave town” and take on something that really stretches us. An adventure race. Or at least a great adventure. Besides, running the same […]

100 Day run streak complete! I did it! Starting with November 19, 2013 and run-streaking to today, with a 3.13 mile treadmill run along the virtual banks of the Hudson on the New Jersey side, this 100 day run-streak is history! I really wasn’t sure I could do this. I knew 60 days was possible. […]

It’s official: I’m running the Boston Marathon World Run on a team–Gotta Run gt–with a friend from Guatemala, Ceci. I’ve promised organizers and my team I would run 485 miles by April 21, the day of the Boston Marathon (along with a small donation). I have 69 days left to run that far. I started […]

Despite the snowy subzero temps/windchills here, today I’m 80 days into my longest run streak in recent memory (streak began Nov. 19, 2013). How did this happen? This streak was supposed to end after Jan. 1. Not sure I could do this. But fatigue has become an issue. Slamming coffee. Strange blood blister on 1 […]

Happy sunny Snow Dog Sneaux Day! We got some snow last night so our daughter and lots of other kids are excited about their snow-or is it sneaux?-day! Many of us noticed today that God gave us a rare, special treat for the polar vortex blast we shoveled and drove through this morning. At first, […]

Let’s be honest: sometimes bad things happen in life over which you have no control. How can you juggle adversity and chaos without being overwhelmed by them? Expect the unexpected and try to be prepared for (almost) anything-that will get you through many scenarios. First scenario: Surprise! Your Garmin/and/or GPS device/phone dies. How well do […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Silly me, I’ve unsuccessfully tried to formulate more than one running resolution but multiple resolutions seem to conflict with each other. So for the sake of simplicity in a life of chaotic complexity and to prevent me from chasing every visible windmill (race, running challenge, etc.) and battle like Don Quixote, I’ve […]

What a wild ride of a year it’s been! The year began on the treadmill and ended on a new, improved treadmill. It was a year of boosting and crushing challenges and running with abandon. Here are the highlights for me: in March, I ran wild while marathon training, running a self-supported “Braveheart” full marathon. […]
