First, I want to thank those of you who have been following, sharing and contributing to this project. I appreciate your contributions and am delighted by your interest. Hopefully, you will find the information below of some benefit in your own training. That said, I would like to offer my not quite final thoughts on my …
I’ve contemplated writing a post regarding running/walking etiquette, for several months. With the recent news of the New Jersey school SUPER-intendent Pooper, I decided that now was the time. This crap has to stop! (Ok, now that that is out of my system… oops, I did it again. Ok, enough of that, let’s move on). …
As most of you know, I opted not to do the Dark Side Weekend this year. It just didn’t work in to my race/travel schedule, but both Star Wars race weekends are still on my list. Hopefully they will bring races back to Disneyland, and I’ll be able to do the Kessel Run challenge (without …
Last year, Sandy and I ran the 4oth Anniversary Statesman Cap10k. Taking part in the race and festivities during an anniversary year was extra cool… which left us wondering, how would we top that at the 41st Statesman Cap 10k this year? Well, the Cap 10k helped us out by offering finisher medals to us …
Sandy and I have a decal on our motorhome that is an outline of the US (and Canada). The map starts off blank, but each time you visit a different state, you affix that state’s sticker (which are also included in the package), until you fill (hopefully) the entire map. Our map is pictured above. It’s been …
I’m sure most of you have heard, if not used the term NSV or non-scale victory. I for one have experienced many NSV’s during my journey from 400+ lbs. Coming to terms with the fact that success is not only measured on the scale, was a game-changer for me, as I am sure it has …
Howdy loyal readers, fellow Dopeys, and prospective Dopeys! Seems like eons have passed since Sandy and I completed the 2018 Dopey Challenge, and believe me I have had this recap on my mind since crossing the finish line back in January. However, travel, other race events, and commitments just kept me from having time to …
Some of you may have noticed (hopefully?) that I’ve been kinda quiet for a while. Nope I didn’t fall into some kind of runners’ oblivion, nor did I take up permanent residence at Walt Disney World (although I seriously considered the latter). Those of you who follow me on one of the social media platforms …
I have to say that one of the most awesome surprises I have encountered since venturing into blogging, is the amazing people I have met along the way. I have always wanted this blog to be not just about me, but more of an outlet for sharing experiences, knowledge and yes, even opposing viewpoints. But try as I …
Greetings from “Sin City”! Yep, we are in Las Vegas getting ready for the Rock “n” Roll Half Marathon (and 5k) on November 11th & 12th. Got here a little early to go see Elton John at Caesar’s Palace… an incredible show by the way! Once again, we’ve taken our Dopey show on the road. …
