Happy Friday, Everybody! Well, it’s my Friday because I’m a pastor and we work on Sundays. So Happy Thursday night to everyone else. Unless you’re reading this on Friday. Wait, I just confused myself. I’ll be starting my day tomorrow with a quick trip to the radiology place to get a quick look at my […]
The Best Laid Plans – When Sickness Derails your Training
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 […]
And Now Back To Normal Half Marathon Training
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 […]
Is Run Disney For You?? The Pro’s and Cons of all Those Magical Miles
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 I just got home about an hour ago and wanted to tell you that I’ll hopefully have some great pics and stories to share later in the week. It was such a great weekend and I have lots to share but here are a few highlights: I finished and got a gorgeous medal (not […]
Things NOT to pack for your marathon
Lots of marathon packing lists out there. As in at least 1000 so I’ll not add to the google search madness. I will, however, tell you the things I WON’T be taking with me this weekend when I leave for the WDW Marathon:Self Doubt and Insecurity Yes, you can both stay home, thank you very […]
For Loved Ones of the Marathoners – What We’re Thinking This Week
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 […]
