Miles 45 – 56 With Friends

Here we go..... Saturday morning run. My favorite, up at the crack of dawn to squeeze in a few miles before the rest of the world wakes up. Knocking down a decent run before the sun gets too high and things heat up, running like an Olympian, looking like a SUPERSTAR.Unfortunately, ALL of that happened before I woke up. The ... More

Miles 35 – 44 With Friends

Two more people have joined in the FIGHT. 164 now “attending” the One Mile of Honor event. Very cool. Originally, I thought if we could get 50 people involved that would be pushing it. Thanks to all that have got behind this effort and have helped spread the word. We have to keep at it, but I think 164 is pretty ... More

Miles 29 – 34 With Friends

Just a few each day........ that seems to be the trend. 162 people now “attending” the One Mile of Honor event. It was at 158 yesterday. When I checked the numbers before my run this afternoon, I was a little disappointed. Up only four?? But, as is usually the case when I run, things became much clearer in my little ... More

Miles 23 – 28 With Friends

158 people have found a little time in their busy lives to dedicate at least one mile in honor of someone touched by cancer. Thank you for your willingness to do this. Remember to invite your friends and continue to spread the word- my reach is very limited- but through YOU, we can reach a huge number of people. Again, the ... More

Miles 11 – 16 With Friends

With the heat index so high, I opted for a more comfortable environment to put a few miles in. It was 6 miles on the Dreadmill while watching the first part of Cool Hand Luke. This movie is a classic and one of my favorites. There is a scene where “Luke” finds himself pitted in a jail-yard boxing match against a MUCH ... More

10 Miles With Some Friends

August 1, 2010. Today is the “official” start for the One Mile of Honor Event. More than 120 people have accepted the invitation to participate and walk or run in honor of someone they know that has been touched by cancer. I don't know why it always amazes me that there are so many people that will step up when asked, ... More

Nation of Voices

August is coming. What does this mean for running? I don't know what, if any, significance it has for running in general but, hopefully, for us it will mean the beginning of something powerful and good. When I say “us”, I am referring to everybody that has a stake in THE FIGHT. You remember THE FIGHT, don't you? It has ... More

What I Meant To Say…..

Okay.....sometimes I am an IDIOT....sometimes. This will not come as a shock to anybody but it usually takes me all of 10 minutes to write one these “blog thingies” and I don't generally put much thought into them. So, after going back and reading the Mumbo Jumbo.... I realized that I am truly an IDIOT. Training plans ... More

Mumbo-Jumbo Training Plans

Training plans.......there are a million of them out there. Everything from running your first 5k to 100 milers. So many to choose from that I have given up looking for the “right” one. When I started my running life, I became absorbed in everything “running”, bought all the books, magazines, movies, read every ... More
