Running Away From Home: Arizona

As I’ve aged, I’ve discovered that one way to continue to feel young is to spend more time around older people. If you’re the youngest guy in the room, you have no choice but to feel boyish and spry.

Summer Race #1: Refuse to Abuse 5k

A few weeks ago I made the rather curious decision to run four races in four consecutive weekends.  This past Saturday marked the beginning of this challenge as my family and I participated in the Refuse to Abuse 5K at Safeco Field.

Four Reasons for My Vacation Weight Gain

If I know one thing about myself it’s this: when I go on vacation, I gain weight. And the longer I’m on vacation the more I gain. So when my wife and I decided to do a two week trip to introduce her to my extended family, some old friends, and my hometown, I suspected I’d… Read More Four Reasons for My Vacation Weight Gain
