On Motivation

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”

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”

Runnin’ Not Walken Update!

Ragnar Registration Day has been one of the most exciting days of the year for me.  It bears with it the promise of adventure.  It’s a feeling both exhilarating and daunting.

Happy February!

I saw this the other day and it got me thinking and I just had to share.  It’s a pretty simple message but it’s the kind of thing that can turn into a pretty inspirational message for our efforts here, maybe even a mission statement: To Be A Light of Hope & Encouragement for RunnersContinue reading “Happy February!”

Work Hard. Do Good. Love Wins

Life’s most urgent and persistent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ – Martin Luther King, Jr. I just had to share this because when you make changes, sometimes there’s worry that creeps in on whether you’re doing the right thing or not.  As a whole, our team, even those that aren’t coming back,Continue reading “Work Hard. Do Good. Love Wins”
