On Sunday, October 30, I ran in the Run to Overcome (aka Run 2 Overcome) in Lincoln, Nebraska, a very impressive 5k race that was held only a mile or so from our house. The race began and ended at Lincoln Southwest High School. Fortunately, as a Galloway Training...
Today, on September 19, 2016, I completed 40 consecutive days of meditation. Meditating on regular basis has helped me to relax, find more calm and peace in a busy life, and has allowed me to strengthen my mind and mindset to have a more powerful impact upon our...
Rewinding to Sunday, August 14: Runstreak day 1000 for today’s Flashback Friday special post. I remember like it was yesterday. It was a difficult, challenging pursuit of a goal I didn’t originally seek. My original goal for this runstreak was 100 days....

Today, I ran the GSK 10k Run in Lincoln for the first time. It was a fast frigid adventure. Cold and wind dominated the race (this seems to be a persistent theme this year for the last few races). The race starts and finishes at Holmes Park/Holmes Lake in Lincoln. I...
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today I ran 4.22 miles on runstreak day 850, boosting Irish endorphins as you can see in my smiling Irish eyes. Kiss Me I’m A Runner!...
