January 16th will mark 6 years of my "running life". I really can't remember what life was like before that day in 2006. One thing I am absolutely sure of is this... NEVER in my wildest dreams would I have said that there would be a point in my life that I would be running a 100 miler. Now I'm getting ready to do just ...

2011 came to an end just as it started. With an early morning 20.11 mile New Years Day run. Nothing real significant or notable happened in between but a few things do stick out in my mind. I'm not a fan of looking back or living in the past because it is whats next that really matters. Of course the past does help set the ...

Maybe it's time to explain the WOOOO!!!!! I don't know how successful this will be but here it goes.....As a kid, I LOVED to watch pro-wrestling. Couldn't get enough of it- even after the heart crushing realization that it was as “real” as Santa Claus. One wrestler in particular left me in awe every time he made an ...

I have nothing to prove to anybody. Except the VOICES. They are never satisfied. Always pushing. Always taunting. Always wanting more. They expect more. They believe I can deliver everytime, regardless of how I feel mentally or physically. They are also my harshest critics, questioning every success or accomplishment.They ...

The 2nd Annual Turn the Trail Pink 50k...... I almost didn't ask. Almost skipped the part where we make it count. The ONLY part that matters. Why? Well, it's simple. I was a little scared that everyone was tired of the constant begging for donations and tired of the whole "dude in a pink tutu" act. Trust me, I'm kind of ...

I am asking (begging) for donations in the amount of $5. For each $5 donation a ribbon will be personalized and attached to the ...

For 119 days I ran. Everyday. No matter what. No less than 3 miles. Some days 15 or 20 miles. Some days I ran twice. Why? Because I was "Streaking". At first, it was just because the days ran together. In fact, it is common for me to run 10 or 12 days in a row without taking a day off. I don't really know why or when the ...

Last year, after I completed the Lake Freebird Triathlon, it was clear to me that I should have trained. I even wrote a blog post in which I vowed to train before attempting it again. Guess what? Yep. I'm dumb like that.
I really didn't plan on entering the tri again this year, it just kind of happened. I could take ...

On May 2nd of this year, I logged a 10 mile run on the treadmill. It was nothing special just another run...... I had no idea that it would be the start of a 100 day – 700 mile runstreak. Not sure why I would start a “streak” considering the knee issue that showed up during the Ouachita 50 miler two weeks prior and ...
