It’s done. It’s happened. I’m 30 now. I could have entered this decade kicking and screaming, and I can kick and scream with the best of them. I opted for more of a casual stroll so I could (try to) appreciate the view. A panoramic of my life not focusing too much on past, present,…

The Cost of Doing Business
I turn 30 in three days. A landmark that I joke about as scaring me but more than anything I see it as validation. I’ve earned my 30 years and I’ve got a lot to be grateful for. I’ve made concessions and mistakes and certainly done some stupid things, but all in all I’m very…
About my boys…or something like that…
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Not because four days later I celebrate a birthday (shameless plug) but because I love that it’s a holiday with no cards, it’s casual, fun, and I generally get to be out on a boat or in the water. It’s a day I look forward…
Vomit Writing
This is going to affectionately be termed a vomit writing session. They are frequent on my computer. I’m going to write whatever pops in my head and with no edits just let it fly. Hopefully a full circle moment will be achieved. So, I’m going to start out with an odd comment that probably won’t…
The Fork (Stupid Fork)
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein My friend Matt text me and asked me what my workout was going to be today. I told him “I ran and it was like running in a personal swimming pool of my own body sweat. And…
Inspired: I am a Champion
I’m getting antsy. I don’t have a race in the near future. Everyone I know has big races coming up in the next few weeks and I actively support them but I am a tad jealous…My training is intense but there is an air about it that is uninspired. I’ve always been a sucker for…
The Run, the Runner
This post has been milling around in my head for a while… It’s hard for me to explain to people what running means to me. It goes beyond something that I do and is an actual part of me. This part of me I can’t remove and I don’t want to be without. It’s the…
Into the Darkness
I’ve engaged in a one-year journey to figure out my life and live it completely. It started with leaving a corporate world for a literary one and my one year journey of self-exploration has exposed a few things… a few proverbial chinks in the armor of my dream quest. When all the girls in high…
Grown-up Dreams
Rapunzel: What if it’s not everything I dreamed it would be?Flynn Rider: It will be.Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?Flynn Rider: Well, that’s the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.My daughters are always showing me things that I can’t see for myself. They do…
Coming Back
Yesterday was a day for me. I had some majorly cool stuff happen and some majorly shitty stuff happen too. I started my day in a dead panic thinking I was running late for a triathlon… I was riding a bike I had never ridden before and my rotation would be compromised by a recent…
