Dream Race: Ikea 5K

As a runner, I’m always on the lookout for new and interesting races to participate in. Just to clarify,  when I say “new and interesting,” I’m talking about events with unique themes or ones that take place in exceptional locales, like the 5K I recently ran at SafeCo Field.

Tacoma City Half: Five Goals

There’s something very satisfying about setting goals and reaching them. That’s why I love to-do lists. Not only do they organize the items on your agenda, but the feeling of crossing them off feels remarkably rewarding. One of the great things about running half marathons – or full marathons, if you’re a masochist – is… Read More Tacoma City Half: Five Goals

Happy Valentine’s Day, Running

Dear Running… We’ve come a long way. After spending years in a sort of “on-again, off-again” flirtation, you eventually wrestled me down and convinced me to make a commitment. When I was a younger man, I only sought your sweet embrace when I was trying to lose a few pounds or get myself in better… Read More Happy Valentine’s Day, Running
