I’m an ordinary runner with an oversize passion for running. My favorite roles are husband and dad, closely followed by runner. I’ve run regularly for decades, only racing a couple times a year, including an annual marathon. A native of Iowa, I run quietly, privately, mostly in darkness, year round in all weather conditions and at an hour of the day most people would consider brutally early.
So what’s in it for me? Running challenges me, keeps me fit, sharpens my mind and senses, and keeps me grounded in my priorities. It comes relatively easy for me, and I am grateful for the gift of running and for such a personally satisfying activity.
More than the activity of running, I enjoy meeting ordinary runners of all capabilities and experience and get lost in conversation with them. Runners fascinate me because of their wealth of knowledge—proven advice, training methods, coaching, mistakes, and real-world running experiences. Ordinary runners’ wisdom is priceless because they are like me—facing the demands of everyday living and trying to enrich life with running.
My goal for this site is to meet more great people who run and to exchange ideas and support for ordinary runners.
