As Christians we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. If you are anything like me, this is an extremely difficult thing to do. There just never seems to be a good time to broach the subject. To be honest, I am afraid of the awkwardness this discussion might cause.

Running has torn down the awkwardness and created a platform for me to talk freely about my faith. It is my hope that these stories will help draw you closer to our creator – through whom we all have the strength to move mountains.

God has given me a body built for endurance. Over the years, I have run a few races and met many wonderful and interesting people. These posts contain my stories. You do not need to be a runner to relate to these events. We are all running the race of life. We all have our peaks and valleys that we have to climb and descend.

109.91 Training Miles for Week (2/28 - 3/6)

As promised, I will post my weekly training mileage for the next 9 weeks as we approach the 200 mile run in Vermont. I will also include some random photos for past events.

This week ran 109.91 miles with a peak day of 20.03 miles.

This week's photo is from the 2009 Milwaukee Marathon in which I paced my friend Randy Steiner to a Boston Qualifying run of 3:31:01. Randy needed 3:30:59 to qualify but Boston personel said we can't deny you over one second. I thought that was pretty nice of them and says a lot about the people running the Boston Marathon. Randy along with many other runner will be toeing the line next month in Boston.
