Keeping Fort Wayne Warm
Just had to share this great video that NeighborLink Fort Wayne produced. It really shows what they’re about and where the money we raised in 2019 went. It was great to see that our funds were both heartwarming and home-warming! We’ve begun our campaign for them already. If you’d like to contribute, please visitContinue reading “Keeping Fort Wayne Warm”
Meet Your 2020 Runners Doing Good!
The last 5 years have been a true blessing. From barely dreaming about raising $1,000 to looking at hitting $25,000 within the next $500 raised, it’s been crazy to think about and at the core of all of this has been the people. We’ve just had a great group of people. Many I’ve met forContinue reading “Meet Your 2020 Runners Doing Good!”
This Is What It Is About!
When we first made the decision to partner with NeighborLink Fort Wayne , it wasn’t an easy decision. We’d been running to benefit a local children’s charity for 3 years, having run 4 long distance relay races to benefit them and had raised approximately $17,000 for them. We started slowly but every year builtContinue reading “This Is What It Is About!”
2020’s Vision, Part II
As highlighted in Part I one of the goals was to have a race calendar so that 2020’s effort isn’t confined to 1 major event and anything else in the area is training for it. In our effort to better connect with the Fort Wayne area running community, we’re committed to making our miles countContinue reading “2020’s Vision, Part II”
A Runner Looks at 40
I’m not there yet but tomorrow’s my birthday and as my wife like’s to remind me, it’s a big one because it’s the last of my 30’s. She makes me laugh. I had one coworker this week tell me that 39 was his worst birthday and he freaked out and bought a mustang. I’m prettyContinue reading “A Runner Looks at 40”
On Daring Greatly
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly … who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly” – Teddy Roosevelt I went through a leadership training course this past year and the aboveContinue reading “On Daring Greatly”
Runnin’ Not Walken is now….Runners Doing Good!!!
We’ve been on this trajectory for some time so the beginning of December seems like a great time to kick this off! We have eluded to it for awhile and the name change has been in plain sight as this blog has existed for awhile now. In the recent past, this site floated back andContinue reading “Runnin’ Not Walken is now….Runners Doing Good!!!”
The Inspiration For Change, Part II
I had a short conversation with my dad this weekend about the team and it only backed up another one of those hunches that I’ve had been having for some time. For all of the success we’d had, there was something that, I felt, that was ultimately always going to hold us back. It’s alsoContinue reading “The Inspiration For Change, Part II”
The Inspiration For Change, Part I
If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing started off with a dream and a mouse. — Walt Disney Through the rest of the year, I will occasionally write about what has inspired me to change course and aim for something bigger with the running team. We haveContinue reading “The Inspiration For Change, Part I”
