Sledding Wildly
Yesterday, I ran my first trail 5k race in Ashland, Nebraska, about halfway between Lincoln and Omaha. It was a challenging race: hills, snow, ice, mud, sharp turns, a few short slippery bridges, and branches/sticks on the course made for a fun but challenging adventurous race. This race course with snow and ice on it […]

FollowRestoring Monday Mile Routine
Happy Move it Monday and first day of February! Today I recorded a brief Periscope message on the restoration of my Monday Mile easy running day routine. Deviating from this recently has caused me to be more fatigued and I’m finding that I haven’t really been taking it easy one day a week. If I’m […]

Today, on run streak day 800, I created a photographic running kaleidoscope showing my top 9 moments from today’s 8.12 mile run. I captured the sun, moon, straws, clouds, and a few glimpses of rustic Nebraska prairie. Ran 1.05 mi with Misty (our dog) and then...Challenge Yourself!
How do you respond to challenges? Do you run from them? Embrace them? Accept them? Ponder them? Does it depend upon the size of the challenge? They vary in size and intensity. Some can be fulfilled in a day, some cannot. Sometimes the challenges we can fulfill in a...From Nose to Toes
From my nose to my toes, I really felt those relaxing runs this year. Are you surprised with my choice of key running body parts? Let me explain: My nose because of the cold air forcing me to cover it with a hat, some smoky days when air quality here in Lincoln was very low, […]

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. […]

Today I ran the Buffalo Run 5 miler at Pioneers Park in Lincoln, Nebraska for the first time. I’ve run at Pioneers Park many times but have never run this race for some reason. It was an idyllic day for running. Perfect weather for running: (cool, not too humid), beautiful sunrise, not windy. It’s called […]

Last Saturday, I had the amazing experience of running the State Games of America 2015 10 mile race in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Cornhusker State Games (through the Nebraska Sports Council) donned the State Games of America hosting responsibilities this year with the SGA 2015. So it presented a new race distance opportunity. I knew the […]
