Gods blessings are there when I open my eyes to see them

Yesterday was one of those days where I truly saw the blessings that God has given me. Now keep in mind that nothing has changed, except the way that I looked at the day. Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing... Read more »

When the son becomes the teacher

I recently had the pleasure of watching my oldest son win an award at school. The award was an American Legion Award for Citizenship. He had no idea that he was getting an award, which made seeing him get this an even cooler experience. I’m not sure how it happened but he is getting ready... Read more »

Not Everyone is "Running For Boston"

Why does it take something like the Boston bombing to get the attention of some runners? I have been a runner since 2002. I started running when I finished 6 months of chemotherapy. I signed up for a marathon as a F U to cancer. I’m not a fast runner at all. My marathon PR... Read more »

From recovery to training to...

So the time has come for me to switch gears from “recovering” to “training”. I have the Chicago marathon in October and other running events coming up this summer.
