A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

nice marathon inspiration

It’s a little cheezy and polyanna-ish but, then again, I think the whole point of humanbeingcurious.com is positivity so check out this video for some very nice inspiration.

Come to think of it, I tend to be a bit on the dramatic side too so who am I to judge. Just go watch the video! :)



a little redemption

passion for running category: running on Wednesday, March 29 2006

Three runs in a row and I’m a happy camper. Random thoughts whilst running:

-felt comfortable to run up the Peace Mile in 8:45
-felt not too bad to run down the Peace Mile in 7:45
-the body felt great
-calves were a little sore at the beginning of today’s run
-wish I had hair – it’s cold
-at least I can wear a hat
-I still don’t feel like racing
-but I can’t wait for the trails to dry up a bit
-wish it was warmer and dryer so I could start a bit of barefoot running again
-where did that 50 foot long puddle come from?
-argh!
-pass that girl up the stairs
-good job

I’m so happy to be back at this.

I think we can all be inspired by this article but it may hold particular interest for some of the elites among us. Take note, Alison, Chelle and Adeel.



astounding

This article blew my mind – and not just because of the barefoot running angle. Pay attention to some of the numbers in the article. woa – I am so lame with my six marathons!
