It was early 2015. Team Runnin’ Not Walken had about 8 or 9 of our 12 spots filled. I reached out to Michael and his two brothers, Adam and Ryan via Facebook to see if he had an interest in joining us on this crazy Ragnar Relay adventure that we were going to be attemptingContinue reading “Run-Gooder #9 – Michael”

Thursday Thoughts
Just a couple ideas or thoughts for this Thursday, January the 17th…. Running and training in the winter is hard. Training any time is difficult but when you throw snow and 20 degrees…No Thanks! My motivation is low right now. I should be better and I was excited about running the Indy Mini is aContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts”
Run-Gooder #8 – Amanda
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.” – Fred DeVito After corresponding and finally getting to meet her, the above quote made me think of her. Matt’s better half joined Runnin’ Not Walken this past year and she was a great addition to the team and I believe, qualifies as a Run-Gooder, especiallyContinue reading “Run-Gooder #8 – Amanda”

“It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving” – St. Mother Teresa The following is a republishing of our first Run-Gooder, Jenn from back in early November when we were just starting out and maybe some didn’t see it originally. I hope you enjoy it! What is aContinue reading “Run-Gooder #1 – Jennifer”
Good-Bye 2018! Hello 2019! – Part 1
Good morning! Gabe here. Today is New Year’s Eve and it is hard to believe that we’re mere hours from putting 2018 to bed and stepping foot into 2019. It seems like this past year has really flown by. It has personally been quite the roller coaster of a year after a 2017 that wasContinue reading “Good-Bye 2018! Hello 2019! – Part 1”
Run-Gooder #7 – Artie
As 2018 winds down and 2019 approaches and the blog has continued on, we’ve had a decent little following begin and it has kept me thinking of who to feature next and Artie came to mind. Has he been a lifetime runner? No, but he has been one of the biggest supporters of TeamContinue reading “Run-Gooder #7 – Artie”
Run-Gooder #6 – Michelle
So the cool thing about doing this blog is that I get to be on the look-out for inspirational people. Fortunately, there’s an abundance of them but I’m not just looking for anyone who’s remarkable, I’m looking for runners. Runners just take it up another notch and this one in particular, finds another gear. MeetContinue reading “Run-Gooder #6 – Michelle”
What is a “Run-Gooder”?
It is a do-gooder, that is willing too make their beating of the pavement meaningful. It’s sacrificing hours of training, the aches, pains, and hard earned sweat that accompanies it all, all for the greater good of others in some fashion. That all said, it’s not just elite runners participating in a marathon to raiseContinue reading “What is a “Run-Gooder”?”
Run-Gooder #5 – Matt
I have known Matt since we were both in college back in the early 2000’s and worked at a Lowe’s store here in Fort Wayne. I always got along with Matt but I don’t recall a lot of details about him. He’d always been a good guy as far as I knew. Time passes andContinue reading “Run-Gooder #5 – Matt”
