Since I first discovered the trails at Bluff Creek I've been not-so-secretly enamored with the idea of trail running. My eventual goal is to get into ultramarathons, and a significant number of those are held on trails. It's in my best interest to...
Four days after completing the Route 66 Marathon was Thanksgiving Day. Why not celebrate the holiday partaking of the growing trend of running a race before gorging on turkey?
I was really concerned I was going to hurt myself by not giving myself...
After completing the OKC Memorial Marathon in April, I wasn't entirely satisfied with my performance. My goal was to finish, but I felt like I could have done much more. I let nerves and improper pre-race planning cause GI issues that slowed me down...
I've been running consistently now for two years. I started running on a treadmill in September, 2017, and started running primarily outdoors in May, 2017. It's grown from painful and boring to something I look forward to doing every chance I get....

Thoughts repeated in my head on a loop. "This is crazy. Can I do this...
This was my second lunchtime 5-mile run, and I made sure to use my watch properly to record it. So I actually ran 5 miles instead of 6. The goal was to get a decent tempo run down and, once again, focus on running form.
I wore a compression...
This midweek run had the goal of being somewhat slower-paced than normal, to help conserve energy for my long run at the end of the week. My main goal was to enjoy it, focus on running form, and go all the way around the lake instead of doing...
