I have since completed four marathons, one ultra marathon, and a number of shorter races. My best marathon time is 3:44:26, which I recorded in December of 2103 at the Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL. Am I an elite runner? No, but with hard work and dedication I continue to improve my times and evolve as a runner. The greatest thing about running is the added confidence and joy it brings to my life making me a better Christian, husband, entrepreneur, and blogger.
This Site: This site has been around in some shape, form, or fashion for more than three years. Over that time, my life has evolved. As have my interests. Thus, it is time for this site to evolve as well. I will be adding a couple topics to the mix and creating content more regularly. No more six month blogging hiatuses.
Running- You will continue to get posts about running. In fact, you will get lots of posts about running. Running is my passion and it often serves as inspiration for other areas of my life. You will notice regular shoe reviews and training tips. Your will also notice motivational running posts, which I like to think are my specialty. In order to become more of an "expert" on running, I have registered for a RRCA Coaching Certification Course in May 2014. This will allow me to better advise and coach runners of all skill levels.
Riding- I ride my bike for fun and to cross-train. I'm not a biking snob, nor do I claim to be an expert. I do believe that cycling and mountain biking are great exercise that they can teach us valuable lessons about life. Therefore, most of my cycling posts will likely be more metaphorical than literal.
Living- This is complicated, and this is where you will see the most changes in blog content. As I mentioned earlier, my life has evolved over the last few years. I have always considered myself an entrepreneur, but now it is official. I started developing my first business last year. Check it out at TechieRunner.com. This is one of several business ventures that are in the works right now. Obviously, this is a big part of my life, and I want to share my successes and failures with you along the way. Life is about growing and evolving.
Blogging- I am making a commitment to this blog. A commitment to creating valuable content. A commitment to you. It only makes sense that I share the blogging lessons that I learn along the way with you as well. What works and what doesn't work. The tools I use. The content creation process. Everything.
My life is full of excitement right now, and I hope that shines through on this site. Understand that this site is nothing without you. If you have questions. Please ask them. If you want advice. I'm here to help you. If you think I'm crazy. Share that as well. Thanks and best wishes in 2014!
