Hi everyone! I have not posted recently, been pretty busy training for my next half in September. I have not posted mostly because my running has not motivated me to post. Not that I am not running, that is happening for sure; had one of my best runs ever last weekend. It is just that… Continue reading One More Day with Charlie

The Yearning!
Do you yearn to run? It has been a crazy couple of weeks culminating in a 22-hour work day Sunday into Monday and three very long days since. With all of this work I have only run one time this week for about 30-minutes. On my way to work today one of the songs I… Continue reading The Yearning!
All is fair in Love and Running
Most everyone I know that runs will tell you that this is how you feel on some runs. I love Running, I Hate Running; I think the thought comes at different times for different runners, but I think it always comes. During the month of May I have run more days than any other month… Continue reading All is fair in Love and Running

I was the kid digging through my parent’s closet weeks before Christmas, and I am the person who hates… Continue reading Anticipation…
What Ferris Bueller and I have in common
We took a day off; although my day was not quite as full as Ferris's it was still a good day.

I did not… Continue reading What Ferris Bueller and I have in common

Do or Do Not…..
I have this sign hanging near my back door, I have had this sign hanging somewhere in my house for the past several years. I look at it often and sometimes it really stops me in my tracks and makes me ponder the question. What would I do if I knew I could not fail?… Continue reading Do or Do Not…..
How far will you go?
I have been thinking for the past day about how far I am willing to go with my running. This past weekend two women that I know participated in long distance events; one in an Ironman and the other in her first marathon. I can tell you now that an Ironman will not happen… Continue reading How far will you go?
