Great Way to Explore Your City, Run

Want to explore uncharted territory in you community or find out what people are up to?
Go on a run. If running isn’t your thing, ride your bike. Don’t have a bike? Get out your walking shoes.
This morning, my wife and I went on a long run (9 miles) to keep up in our [...]

Got Our Run On

New blogs. Yeah…that’s right, blogs in the plural is not a typo. I don’t know if it’s a cultural influence thing or just natural, but I like variety, and it’s time to change/upgrade this blog. I have already [...]

Priorities Change

By God’s grace my priorities have changed! How have they changed, you ask? Growing up my focus in life was all about me and basketball. Working out and training on the basketball court took top priority and consumed my life. The will of God, bible study, family, and other relationships were moved further down [...]

Thanksgiving Run

Arelis and I came out of retirement and went for a run this morning. We haven’t ran together for a while and are trying to get in shape. Last year we ran the Louisville City Run (6 miles) and the Papa John’s Run (10 miles). We didn’t make it to the Mini [...]
