My goal with this blog is to educate and entertain the reader. Hopefully, readers will be runners with a sense of humor. I don't intend to sell anything other than a few tales and lessons I've learned through a lifetime of running and racing.
At 45, I've been at this sport in varying intensities for over 30 years. That's longer than some of my running friends have been alive. And my closest running friends have, for the most part, only taken up running in the last decade.
My speed demon days are behind me. But I can still enjoy running any 5K faster than 95% of the population. What I really want to do is share the sport with those who feel 'slow' and 'old' and 'not a runner.' While I've been running so long that there has been no physical transformation for me, I've seen running transform others right before my eyes. And those physical changes always are accompanied by profound psychological changes which can't be measured.
I won't be posting like a madman, every day or even every week. I hope my posts are, like runs, frequent enough to feed the appetite but not an overindulgence. I'll be sticking mostly to lessons learned, race and adventure reports and even some technical advice such as form or training tips.
Stay tuned for a (hopefully) upbeat and entertaining review of my Coosa-Blood-Coosa trail run next weekend. It's not a race, just a group of North Georgia Trail Runners getting in some miles. I'm excited, because I've never run this trail. Looking forward to it!
Until then...Happy Trails!
