Never Surrender!

Hello family and friends and Happy New Year everyone! We are enjoying the fresh wintry snowy sensation today. Our dog Misty tries to eat all the snow! Every 5 or 10 feet or so, it doesn’t matter whether we are running or walking she reacts the same: with fresh...

Healthify Your New Year Resolutions

On December 31, 2015, I hosted a blab entitled Healthify Your New Year Resolutions and Goals. I was joined by my new friend Greg Dickson. We talked about running, goals, New Year Resolutions, and healthy habits and changes we can make to improve and transform our lives. This was the first blab I have hosted […]

Top 10 Runstreaking Secrets

Two years ago today, November 19, 2013, I began an amazing journey pursuing a lengthy runstreak that has transformed my health, running, and life. At first this was intended to just be a 100 day runstreak. But I found I liked runstreaking so much I just could not stop the momentum. I joined the U.S. […]

Blazing New Trails

Happy New Year! Now that 2015 has begun, many of us have set new goals and new challenges to achieve. Some set resolutions. I don’t like to call these resolutions as resolutions are frequently forgotten and/or broken. Goals tend to linger like the illumination of a distant torch, calling us forth to find it somehow. […]

Ran This Year!

Today, on December 18, 2014, on the 395th day (!) of a runstreak and the 352nd day of the year, I ran past my Run This Year 2,014 mileage goal for the year! How in the world did this happen? Weeks before December 31? (I really thought this would be a Dec. 31 achievement if […]

Bronzed Middle Ages

Racing through the Middle Ages…I mean my middle ages… First of all, I hope you are not upset at me blending the Bronze and Middle Ages together. I’m not trying to be historically confusing. But I’m middle-aged and well, more about the bronze… Saturday, I ran the Energy 5k as part of the Cornhusker State […]

May the 4th be with You!

Howdy pardners! How are you? It’s Lincoln Marathon weekend and I forgot to taper (HATE TAPERING!), so no marathon running for me this weekend. My daughter and I are volunteering to help for several hours so I’ll be on the giving end of water, sports drinks, gels, and “runner snacks” instead of the receiving end […]

Climb 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 […]

Don Quixote will Simply Run This Year!

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 […]

REELING IN THE YEAR

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. […]
