Crazy, Dumb, Fun?

 Two posts in one year! Haven't done that in a while!! You might be wondering about the title of this post. After you read this, you might be wondering about my sanity ;)  While sitting at my home office desk lamenting the fact that I weighed in at a shade over 200 pounds (late October 2025), I came up with a new running plan for 2026. What is this plan/goal? Run a 5k, a 10k, a half marathon, and a full marathon in a 12 month period. Ya, pretty stupid, I know.

The best part is that it is going to pretty much be a couch to whatever distance you want to plug in there. I don't think I could even run one mile, downhill, at a 13 minute pace right now. Well, why not give it a try and see what happens.

I am shooting for a turkey trot 5k coming up this Thanksgiving. I know it will be more walking than running. But, I have to start somewhere, sometime. Wish me luck on this insane journey. Until next time - Happy trails to you!

67 Year Old Update

 Well, not much running has happened over the last while, more walking. Sucks getting older. Anyway, Brittany and I committed yesterday to running a 10k in January 2026. Soooo, I will start doing more running and less walking over the next few months. Kinda excited to do this! 

Moved from Mesquite, NV this year to Washington, UT. Changed jobs and that really slowed down my running efforts.

Anyway, I will check in with you all (if there is anyone at all) as this little journey progresses. Until then, yep, you know it - Happy trails to you!
