My friends, we are not the sum of our possessions. They are not the measure of our lives. In our hearts we know what matters. We cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car, a bigger bank account. We must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be aContinue reading “On Motivation”

Run-Gooder #11 – Gabe Grunewald
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 #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”
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”

“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.

Good-Bye 2018! Hello 2019! – Part 2
From a running standpoint, 2018 was in many ways a great year. It had ups and downs, naturally, but for the most part, it was a fantastic year. Runnin’ Not Walken achieved a level of fundraising that I didn’t think was possible, at least not for a long time. The support we had was remarkable. Continue reading “Good-Bye 2018!

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 #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”
