So, I was off to a great start this week. Strength training and two five mile runs I was pretty proud of. I was sure my long run this weekend was going to be just as spectacular. However, where we ended up brought this verse to mind: Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a …
Whew – OK, that was an odd season running wise. I wasn’t exactly sure how to train for 2 marathons, 3 months apart and although I did OK, I think I was a little lazy with my training in between the two. My body was just kind of done after training all summer and I …
I really enjoy WDW Marathon Weekend. I don’t know if I can really put my finger on why it’s different than the other Run Disney events but there’s just an energy in the air that I don’t find other times. Maybe it’s all the first timers or the large families running together or all the …

So, after re-watching my favorite taper video AGAIN, I realized that those who love us crazy runners are maybe as much in need of wisdom as the runners themselves so I thought I’d take a stab at giving you some insight into what we’re thinking right now, with less than a week until our big …
I’m spending some significant time today reflecting on the past year. It’s been all over the map spiritually, emotionally and financially, for that matter. God has taken me on some unexpected journeys that I would love to have skipped, but that have changed me and grown me up so I am grateful. But since this …
