Welcome to my running blog. The intention of this blog is three fold:
- Share some of the quirky, weird, funny, and amazing stories of my training runs and races.
- Share some of what I've learned about running (and myself).
- Motivate others (that means you) to run more or start running.
I've quickly realized that the stories I have to tell from past runs/races are almost endless - I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they have been for me (or are in hindsight for me :-) In the coming blogs, you'll hear some of these stories as well as stories that happen to me along the way. I'll also try to throw in some pieces of advice as I see fit along the way (not that I'm an expert, but I am a little anal about learning about running, running right, and sticking to what I've started, so I have learned a great deal about running that may be useful to some readers.
By the time you read this, I'll likely already have my first story posted 'Something I thought I'd never do' (from last weekend). In future weeks/months, I'll blog about what is happening to me during my training for the Illinois marathon (in April) as well as training for the 2009 Chicago Marathon. Some of the stories from my past will include; Getting lost in London, Coming face to face with a huge buck, Coming in first place in my age group in a local race, Watching a 7 year old pass me in a 5k, The joy of finishing my first marathon, the agony of running injured in my second marathon, and much more.
So - go ahead and become a follower of my blog (at the right) - I know you can't wait to hear all the stories I have to tell :-)
Get out there and run....
