On the Road Again

I have another blog where I mix my running with whatever else I feel like sharing. Running is a big part of my life, so I've decided to devote an entire blog to it.



So first, a little info. Woodrow is my alter ego. He's who I yell at when I've done something I didn't mean to. He's who I'm talking about when I'm referring to myself.

I am an amateur runner-- I run often, but don't race much, and my current mileage per week is in the low 20s. I am a shift supervisor at the local running store in town, and I really enjoy it. Oh yeah-- I'm approaching a round number, agewise.

My running life started in the middle school gymnasium in Clay Center, Kansas in January, 2002. I was new to town, and my coworker invited me up to play some pickup basketball on a Sunday night. I couldn't run full-court hoops on the side courts or on the regulation-size floor without gasping for breath. So I decided something had to change. I've been running pretty much ever since.

This thing will find its own way, but right now my hope is to share my running with the other space travelers who stop by. Daily/weekly mileage, where I'm running, what I'm listening to, what I run in, etc.

So we're lacing up and heading out.
