With a little over a month to go until my 2015 running trip, much of the planning has been done, and I thought I’d share my plans. As always, I’ve waited until the final month before the trip to ramp up my training. While it probably isn’t the best approach to step on the gas…
8 Unique Places To Stay Traveling From San Francisco To Seattle
My wife and I recently decided to spend 10 days driving from San Francisco, California to Seattle, Washington. We had a few main goals for the trip besides spending some “we time” away from our two small children and dogs – who we love greatly for the record. Those goals included exploring as many places…
2014 Running Trip – Recap
My 2014 running trip has come and gone, and it’s time to reflect a bit with my annual Best Of blog post. The week was incredible overall, but here are a few of my favorite moments and stats from the trip. As always, thank you to the many people who supported my cause this year….
Day 7 – Baton Rouge, Louisiana – 2014 Running Trip
The final day of the 2014 running trip was here, and I was extremely excited to end the trip in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a sports nut, attending a night game at LSU has been near the top of my football bucket list for a number of years. It just so happened that my visit…
Day 6 – Pensacola, Florida – 2014 Running Trip
Day six was shaping up to be my most grueling day. The plan was to wake up in Fairhope, Alabama, drive an hour to Pensacola, Florida for a 10-mile run, drive back to Fairhope to shower, drive to Mobile, Alabama to drop off the rental car and pick up the Megabus, arrive in New Orleans…
Day 5 – Mobile, Alabama – 2014 Running Trip
Thursday brought with it my first trip to Mobile, Alabama, a city rich with history. Mobile was settled by the French in 1702 and has flown under six flags: French, Spanish, British, Republic of Alabama, Confederacy, and United States. I also learned that Mobile is the rainiest city in America, with more than five feet…
Day 4 – New Orleans, Louisiana – 2014 Running Trip
Of all the cities on my itinerary for the 2014 running trip, I was most excited to visit New Orleans. One of America’s most unique cities, it is an experience like no other. I visited New Orleans for the first time a year after Hurricane Katrina. At the time, the city was still in shock….
Day 3 – Houston, Texas – 2014 Running Trip
Umm. Houston is huge. A few weeks back, I received notice from Megabus that my bus time from San Antonio to Houston had been pushed back three hours from an 8am departure to 11am and arriving in Houston at 2:30pm. Not a huge deal, but given the fact that my Houston run was shaping up…
Day 2 – San Antonio, Texas – 2014 Running Trip
After a glorious evening in the Austin Airstream, it was time to head to San Antonio, Texas for my second running day of the trip. After packing up and catching a ride on Austin’s bus system to campus, I arrived with enough time to grab a bite to eat and catch my good old friend…
Day 1 – Austin, Texas – 2014 Running Trip
The 2014 running trip is here, and after months of planning and a lackluster effort to get back into running shape, it’s go time. My last trip occurred in early 2013, so it’s felt like years since I was back on the road doing my running thing. Like past years, I’ve spent the last few…

If I’m Not Back In An Hour, Come Find Me
The title of this post is a phrase that can be heard often around our house. While it’s generally stated tongue in cheek, the phrase itself actually has some very frightening undertones. While I still consider myself to be in my youth, and with this comes more risk and less thinking, I’ve recently started to…
