For the Love of the Run…
“We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves…The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, ‘You must not run faster than this, or jump…
And The Mud Mafia was born…
I have been thinking about this for some time and with the help of some creative, talented and active friends of mine I am excited to announce the official launching a new Omaha based racing team: The Mud Mafia. Our first team race is the Beer and Bagel Run November 7th in Ashland, Nebraska! The Mud Mafia…
One man’s 120 pound journey…
So I realize things have been heavy lately so I wanted to put something inspiring out there. This video reminds me how people overcome things… big things… one step at a time. All you have to do, is do it. Try not to be inspired.

To be or not to be.” -Chuck Palahniuk I believe, with absolute certainty, that all of life boils down to choices. Choices themselves become habits and habits translate into a lifestyle. One small change, one step forward, one…
The Ritual of the Run
“Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was accomplished.” –Ulysses S. Grant Like many athletes, runners often have rituals or superstitions that play into their mental strategy. I have several that…
Jonny Lang – Red Light
I have been a fan of Jonny Lang since my freshman year of college. His haunting lyrics, the way he plays the guitar, and how he sings from a place deep inside his soul. It always made me want to be able to play the guitar or sit at a piano and be able to make…
