When I started the Runners Doing Good Instagram account, I wanted to tell some stories of people overcoming obstacles, choosing to live a healthier life, or achieving something incredible…all with the idea that some runner somewhere might be inspired. It has been tremendously worthwhile and rewarding, especially when the person and their story somehow findContinue reading “Run-Gooder #11 – Gabe Grunewald”

Sunday Inspiration #3 – Ride for Roz
Admittedly, I’m late to the game here. The Chive and Chive Charities have been around awhile now but over the last year or so I’ve really noticed the work they’re doing. They cover a wide range of things. Growing up in Fort Wayne, IN and having gone to Bishop Dwenger High School….I should have knownContinue reading “Sunday Inspiration #3 – Ride for Roz”
An Intro…
“A life is not important except in the impact it makes in others’ lives.” – Jackie Robinson I’ve not really taken the time to introduce who I am and how the Runnin’ Not Walken team and Runners Doing Good blog and instagram pages came to be so I thought I’d do a bit of anContinue reading “An Intro…”
Tuesday Truth – Be Intentional
“Intention + Action = Magic” I’ve had the good fortune of taking part in a leadership development course through my employer over the last 5 or 6 months and the phrase “intentional” has come up a lot when we’ve discussed servant leadership. I’ve also gone to two, 1-hour talks as part of a week long,Continue reading “Tuesday Truth – Be Intentional”

Sunday Inspiration #2 – Jon Dorenbos
Sticking with the theme of a weekly inspirational story or person, not necessarily running related, this week, I’ve chosen Jon Dorenbos. If you’ve not heard of Jon, you might want to get caught up because this guy is on a rocket ship right now and he’s only going to get bigger. That’s a good thingContinue reading “Sunday Inspiration #2 – Jon Dorenbos”
Run-Gooder #10 – Karl
Please note, this article was run on February 5th. Karl had about 85% of his monetary goal met at that point and had 3 races to go. He’s down to 2 races and is only 6% away from his goal. Please read his story once more and if you feel moved, please consider giving toContinue reading “Run-Gooder #10 – Karl”
Wednesday Wisdom
I have been fortunate. This whole process from the concept of just running a 12 person, 200-ish mile relay race has, for the most part, been somewhat easy. I really can’t complain. I have had the opportunity to do something “more” with my time, talent, and treasure and share it with the people I loveContinue reading “Wednesday Wisdom”
Runnin’ Not Walken Update #2

We’ll be back in touch in the coming days and weeks on that so be on the lookout! Nine of the 12 spotsContinue reading “Runnin’ Not Walken Update #2”
Sunday Inspiration #1 – Returning The Favor
For our first Inspiration Sunday, I turn to Mike Rowe. Yes, that Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame and now, three seasons of Returning The Favor. According to their shows description, “Returning the Favor gives back to those who pay it forward with humor, heart and surprise. Because one good turn deserves another.” It is,Continue reading “Sunday Inspiration #1 – Returning The Favor”
