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 […]

Today, on day 135 of my runstreak, I ran a Biblical quantity, 4.13 miles as measured by Garmin Connect and Runkeeper. Ironic: those two measurers almost never align. I was going for a 4 mile run. When I saw the numbers and that they aligned with my favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13 (“I can do […]

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears: Remember the “Beware the IDES of MARCH” line in Julius Caesar (Act I, Scene 2 for us Shakespeare geeks), the famous Shakespeare play? Caesar foolishly ignored the warning of the soothsayer and the rest is history. Well, tomorrow is the Ides of March (March 15). And running is […]

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. […]

Watching the Olympics sure inspires me as an athlete with the lessons of patience, perseverance, and hard work. Do they inspire you? If so, how? Here’s a great story courtesy of the U.S. Olympic Committee about Curt Tomasevicz, USA bobsledder, Nebraska native and former Cornhusker football player. Curt won a gold medal with the USA […]
