2/19/2020 – Morning run before work today on the treadmill. I should have gotten up earlier but I was still able to get in a few miles. Feels good to run before work. I didn’t weigh myself this morning… I don’t really like the scale right now in my life… – Goal for tomorrow – …
2/4/2020 – Tuesday. I didn’t end up running today. I must have hurt my right ankle a little bit playing tennis yesterday. Every time I walk and bend my foot, at least after sitting for a little while, there is pain in what feels like my achilles tendon. I spoke with Ginn and decided to …
I don’t profess to be the perfect runner, or always stay on my schedule 100% of the time. I wish I could be that dedicated to running full time, or working full time, or having the perfect diet all of the time. Some nights I even forget to put my retainer in but please don’t …

About two weeks prior to my full marathon in Colorado, I decided to sign up for a half marathon trail race. I have never done a half on a trail before but had heard from a good running friend of mine that they are a lot of fun. The race was only a couple hours …
I don’t write New Years resolutions. I think most people don’t follow through with them after January 14th comes around. Instead I start thinking a few days before my birthday about what I would like to accomplish in the next month or 3 (short term), over the next 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years. …
My trip to Phoenix was awesome on so many levels. I truly planned this trip out months in advance. I wanted to see so much in Arizona so planning was key. There was no specific reason for choosing to run in the Pride Run, Phoenix race, which is part of the Pride Run series. Certainly …
Running a full marathon is not on most people’s list of things they want to accomplish. It was certainly on my list for 2019. I had already run a handful of half marathons, so I was ready for this challenge. Initially, I had chosen to run in Utah, near Salt Lake City. I don’t know …
