The Lonely Runner #iPPP

I may have mentioned that I met my 500 miles in 2013 running goal. And I alluded to the fact that I spent a lot of time on the treadmill in the last 10+ months.

What I didn’t say was that “a lot of time” is probably 75% of the time, […]

California Dreamin’ #fitcation13

Disclosure: The costs of the events and activities for Fitcation were defrayed by sponsors, and the attendees were contractually obligated to write a summary of the experience and also received free swag items. However, the thoughts and opinions I’m sharing in this post are honest and my own.

I left for […]

In 500 Miles.

Back on New Year’s Eve, I made myself a goal. I’d run (not walk) 500 miles in 2013. I knew it’d be a challenge, and that I’d be cutting it close.

On October 18, I reached my goal.

In 500 miles, I
ran in the rain (the last 1/2 mile of the 500, […]

The California Coast #iPPP

I can’t really begin to put into words what Fitcation was like. People keep asking what it was, and I can’t really describe it. It wasn’t a conference, exactly, because there were no sessions. It’s kind of like a retreat, but the events, activities and meals were sponsored. The website […]

On the Eve of 33 #iPPP

Tomorrow, I will be thirty-three. I’m fine with it…it feels like a good number. Some don’t feel so….natural, you know? Thirty-three feels good.

So, on the eve of my thirty-third birthday, I’m going to say thirty-three things that make me happy right now. Because, why not? It’s been a rough month […]
