Working Back Into A Running Routine
After a week without a run this morning was a little bit more challenging than I expected. It was still great to be back out for an early morning run. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water

Starting Another GR Marathon Season
This past Saturday was the official start of the 2020 #GRMarathon season. The #HWI team had a virtual group run meeting via Zoom to kick things off. I was running almost 12 miles so I got them wrapped up before the group meeting. Today was an easy 5 mile run to start the week off. #Run4Water #WhyIRun
Just an Early Morning Recovery Run
After a late night with not quite enough sleep, and still feeling some tired legs, I didn’t do the training plan’s optional additional 15 minute run. These days running has been anything but routine. #HWI #Run4Water #GroundhogMarathon #Garmin #Running
My First Big Race, Fifth Third Riverbank Run
Today wasn’t my 1st race but it was the first big race with a lot of excitement and energy. I had the pleasure of running with a HWI Team Daybreak member, Scott Woody. We finished in excellent time given it was a first 10k race for both of us. I know that today was nothing compared to the experience of the Grand Rapids marathon with the full Daybreak crew. I had such an awesome time, and the feeling of accomplishment and energy as we came into the finish was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Many are encouraging me to run the full marathon in the fall, including my wife. I have my reservations simply because I don’t want to over do it. As crazy as…
A Wet Easy 11 Miles
I got 11 miles in this morning even though it was raining. With being stuck inside, and at home, pretty much all the time, I was glad to get out end enjoy the end of my run in some daylight. When I finished I enjoyed getting on a Zoom call with the #HWI team and catching up a little bit. This season will look a bit different without our normal kick-off, but we still have many ways to stay connected. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Be a partner for clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr During my run the rain slowed down to a light most for a bit then it decided to pick-up again towards the end. In spite of the rain it was warm enough that I didn’t need…
August Has to be the Real Dog Days of Summer for 2021
Summer running is honestly not my favorite. As crazy as it may seem to many I enjoy Winter running more. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun
Reverse Training Run For A 25K Recovery
So there’s always the question of what do you do for running after you’ve finished a race, especially if you been on a training plan that ends with that race. Everyone needs to figure out what is best for themselves but one option is to reverse your training plan for a bit. Coming off of the 25K, and still being sore the day after, I decided that following the reverse training plan tactic might be best. I honestly can’t explain how it is that I ended up hitting the crazy pace other than it just felt right and I didn’t feel like I was killing myself. Actually, as my run went on my pace got faster. It feels pretty good to have exceeded my goal…
