River Bank 2011

I just registered for my 4th River Bank Run This 25k run has a special place for me. This is where running really shifted into a higher gear for me. Showing me that long distance runs can be satisfying and challenging. No I wont win and no i probably will not win my age bracket either.

Come run with me and 22000 others May 14 2011

Winter Blahs, but what did I expect?

This #runnerd has a case of the winter blahs. I complain about it count the days to spring, and cherish every sunny day.

But I live in Michigan and believe it or not we have winter here. And Sunday I trudged outside for a 5 mile run with my dog Storm, just trying to get it done the I came across and army of sorts that put a smile on my face. The City of Zeeland Joined Wintervention a contest between cities to see who can build the most snowmen in an allotted time. For official counts head here

The 268 snowmen put a frosty grin on my face and made my five mile winter run a lot more bearable. Looking for those little things in the cold tundra do help make winter running a lot more doable.
