Back when I came up with the idea for this blog in 2012, I did so with the idea of sharing my passion for excellent health: running and exercise, while encouraging anyone who would care to listen to give it a try. Today, my goal is no different; I’m still your biggest cheerleader on your way to the finish line, whatever that may look like for you. I love that technology via social media has made it so easy to connect with people across a broad spectrum on a variety of topics. There is so much we can amass, learn and share with the click of a button for indeed we all have a story that’s worth telling to someone who cares
.

I feel particularly blessed to have come this distance in my running with you, my readers and fellow runners (some of you) and feel it necessary to impress upon you how instrumental you are in my journey to running excellence. Without running and the strides I’ve made in this regard, this blog would be obsolete as it would be near impossible to share on something I have no experience with. More so, to be relevant and hold your interest requires continuous evolution and development on my part so that I can be authentic and real. There you see, you’ve made me a better runner and by extension a better person. I’m eternally grateful.
Let’s Drink To That!
Even as I continue to grow and strive to be the best runner I can be, I am heartened and continually inspired to dig deeper for a way to make this last past my running years. There are so many stories and lives that are changed through runnning that I know if I look hard enough or run far enough I’ll find a way to do justice to this great sport that gives so much and requires nothing but what we are prepared to give. Maybe it’ll be a way to ensure others, who have the desire but no opportunity, gain a pathway to fulfill their running dreams, or maybe it’ll be an opportunity to contribute to its longevity or legacy, I expect I’ll be inspired yet again soon enough.
Meanwhile, I will stick to my not-so-distant dreams, I hope, of the World Marathon Majors, Triathalons, Marathons in as many states as possible, The Marathon Des Sables and an eventual Ironman. I am learning that I am only limited by what I tell myself I cannot do.
