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!

Our domain was with iPowerweb for the first two years of its existence. Then, without notice, that host pulled the rug from under us so we moved to Dreamhost where I already had two other domains. We spent three months there but, as time went on, wonky things began happening, and it became apparent that completerunning was not going to be happy there so we upgraded from shared hosting to a Virtual Private Server – a wonderful mid-point between shared hosting and having a dedicated server.

The move went exceptionally well. It took several days of planning and about two very long nights of work, but it went almost without a hitch. The hitch was over at Dawn’s place where one pesky folder – a folder containing about one month’s worth of images went AWOL. I still have no idea how that happened but, luckily, Dawn had a backup of those files and is hastily putting things right. Thanks for not ripping me a new…Dawn.

And thanks to you completerunning bloggers for hanging in there this past few months. Let me assure you that Aaron and I have no desire to move again! :)

And to everyone else out there – I am hoping you will see vastly improved page loading times and that you’ll stick around for upcoming additions to completerunning that we think you’ll love. Stay tuned for completerunning.com beta 3.0. ;)

P.S. Even though they didn’t work out for us, I actually still recommend Dreamhost. Drop me a line at mark at completerunning dot com if you want to know why.

What is it they say about development? That Version 3.0 is the first really stable version?

I’d ask ‘why’ about dreamhost but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t understand the answer. ~teehee~

You rock my friend, all that hard work and my blog is working super quickly so no excuses for me not posting.

~phew~ sure glad Dawn had backups, we probably could have sold tickets to that mixer eh?! lol j/k

I’m glad the transition went pretty smoothly. And I’m really happy to see that the Running Blog Recents are back up and running (pun intended hehe). I’ve been missing them!
