Hola! Y Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Yes, it is the day of independence for our south of the border brethren. And time for another entry into my independent look at why people run. Today, against my urge to sleep just a little longer, I donned once again my running gear. Had I been thinking (a rarity of late), I would have mapped out a 5 miler for today. I was close though with 4.45 miles.
I am in the process of becoming a runner. This blog is a journal of my preparation for the 2011 Dam to Dam 20k road race. It is also dedicated to finding out why people run...a lot.

Running: 3 May 2011 - Not Quite Midnight Madness
I don't know what bug crawled up inside me, but I got the urge to run tonight. I told my self (and COACH would be proud), that I was going to do about 4 miles. So, after getting home from my son Brennan's track meet at Dallas Center/Grimes, I donned my running gear and headed out.

Running: 29 April 2011 - A New Committment
Ok, let me first begin by aplogizing. I have been remiss....no, delinquent....actually, lazy. There. I admitted to the "L" word. I had every intention of doing this running thing for a whole year, with the goal of running the 2011 Dam-to-Dam on 4 June 2011. I still plan on running D2D and will be registering tonight. That said, I haven't been TOTALLY lazy. Read on...

Running: 1 Jan 2011 - Resolution Run & the end of Haitus
Well followers (if there is anyone STILL following me), today marks the end of my hiatus. I ran in the 2011 Resolution Run sponsored by The Running Room & Bridges of Iowa, Inc. The last time I actually ran was during Covered Bridge weekend, October 9, 2010.
Today's run was COLD! I know you're thinking, "no duh, Myk...it's freakin' January!" It was 12 degrees with a rather nasty wind, which brought the wind chill down to about -2. There were probably 50-60 people out this morning for the event.
