Carry The Load
I look forward to Memorial Day as it affords me an extra day to catch up on reading, hang out with friends and family, throw the Frisbee around, or do absolutely nothing. In Little Rock, we have Riverfest, which brings with it the opportunity to listen to live music, enjoy good eats, and watch fireworks. But, exactly ...
For my unconquerable soul
Like many others, I couldn’t help but think about the devastation in Boston. However, I refuse to allow the attack on my unalienable rights to have me cower from something I love. Runners can be described by an assortment of words, but being weak is not one of them. We are a determined bunch that ...
The Gift of a Day
When you wake up to begin your day, it’s your choice whether or not you will have a positive or negative outlook. You may not be in the best situation, however, that does not have to dictate your attitude. Circumstances change, the unthinkable becomes thinkable, and miracles happen, but it’s up to you to believe. ...

Why run a relay?
“Ever seen a line for people going to poop in the woods? Why? There was only one bush!” There is nothing like a relay race! I’ve done two marathon relays, but if you want to have some of the most fun while running in your life, do an overnight relay. Any time I hear someone ...
Hindsight is 20/20
As I look back on the previous year, the idiom “Hindsight is 20/20″ resonates throughout my mind. Typically, one would go on to talk about what went wrong and how imperfect things were. Furthermore, if it could be done again, different decisions would be made. Well, that’s not the case. In 2011, I wanted to run ...
The Perfect Mile
Though you may know who broke the 4-minute mile barrier that should not deter you from reading this book. The Perfect Mile details three runners in hopes of being the first to accomplish the feat that was once thought to be humanly impossible. Neither of them allowed their futures to be shaped by a mutually, ...
What do you strive for?
I could write numerous posts about my weekend at the Route 66 Marathon. I finally was able to meet some people that I’ve only conversed with via social media, which is always invigorating to me. Races bring together old friends and provide opportunities to make plenty of new friends. One of those friendships came from a ...
It’s #Rt66run week!
It’s Route 66 Marathon Week and like many others, I’m excited! I had this race on my radar, but there were two people that sold me on it. One of those two people was my friend Mark “Superman” Cato. We discussed it as we do most races. He told me it was imperative that I ...
Helping Kids Run the Nation
Running didn’t come into my life until I was an adult. I always wonder if things would’ve been different had I caught the running bug earlier. My fondest memories of running include me trying to escape dogs and the occasional juvenile delinquency. I did run while playing football and baseball, but that was not enjoyable. ...
