In the recent past, this site floated back andContinue reading “Runnin’ Not Walken is now….Runners Doing Good!!!”
My List of Thanks
It’s never a bad time to reflect on what makes us thankful. A year of progress, new friends, accomplishments, struggles, failures, and lessons learned all fit within that but it can be especially powerful as we approach the end of the year to focus on what makes us thankful.

Inspiration for Change, Part III
A year ago at this time, I was really unsure of what the next step for Runnin’ Not Walken would end up being. I had made the devastating decision to walk away from Kate’s Kart, the board there, and all that the team and I had built that had revolved around them.

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”

We haveContinue reading “The Inspiration For Change, Part I”

Race Review – NeighborLink Fort Wayne’s Night Moves 8/23
Ok so this is my first foray into writing a race review but I thought it’d be a great opportunity to start AND highlight an event that I found to be (spoiler alert) a great time. From the beginning, since NeighborLink Fort Wayne has been our charity of choice, we wanted to make sure toContinue reading “Race Review – NeighborLink Fort Wayne’s Night Moves 8/23”
On Patience and Things Working Out…
Things have a funny way of working themselves out. It’s been one of the joys of organizing this running team for 4 years now. It teaches a lot of things but #1 on that list may be patience. We have 45 days to go and still have 1-2 spots open but those should be filledContinue reading “On Patience and Things Working Out…”
