Running for Camp is Hard Work!
She did it! Jordan ran in her first 5K race and we came pretty darn close to raising enough money to send another child to Camp No Limits! Jordan, Cameron and I geared up with lots and lots of glowing gear to run in a glow run in our town. This was the first time…

It’s time to get serious, friends! A year ago, Jordan and I had raised at least $1,500 more at this point in the year for Camp No Limits. So far, I ran in the Chicago Rock n Roll Half Marathon to help make sure one child could attend camp. Well, now Jordan and Cameron are…

I did it! For the fourth time ever, I ran in a half marathon and I survived. It wasn’t my fastest race. It wasn’t my slowest race. So I think I should be proud of that. You know what I’m also proud of? The wonderful people who pitched in to donate to Camp No Limits…

I did something remarkable over this holiday weekend. A day after returning from a business trip, I decided to do something kind of crazy. I had signed up for a half marathon early in the year and in the last month or two I had decided I wasn’t fit enough to run in the race.…
Read More +Why I Run
Running is a big part of my world right now… And I realize I never really write about it. I figured it’s about time I let everyone know what I’ve been up to outside of my kid and work world (and the many activities we do each week). A friend of mine talked me into…

A number of months ago, a runner in town asked me if I’d be interested in taking part in supporting the local disabilities community – he told me he worked at the local disabilities support organization and noticed I support special needs. Of course I said yes. I wasn’t planning on running in an official…
