About

Hi, I’m Robert, and I’ve been a runner for most of my life. This blog is about my journey getting back into running sharing real experiences, training milestones, and the joy of participating in races alongside my family. I’m writing to encourage others to find their own motivation, whether it’s building a fitness habit or celebrating life’s everyday adventures, near or far.

I have truly loved raising my girls and working a full-time desk job for the last 30 years. Those priorities have been rewarding and fulfilling. During that time, my fitness and health naturally took a back seat as life’s demands shifted. Recently, I’ve been rekindling my passion for running and traveling to races, making these important parts of my life again. This blog reflects that journey of renewal and balance, and I hope to inspire others to make time for their passions too.

Another powerful motivation for starting this blog and focusing on my fitness again is the joy of becoming a grandfather soon. I want to be healthy and active enough to keep up with my grandkids and be fully present in their lives. This new chapter inspires me to prioritize running, travel, and wellness, and I’m excited to share this journey with others who may have similar goals.

One of the best parts of traveling to races now is that my daughters have all fallen in love with running too. We get to go to destinations together, whether it’s exploring new places or revisiting races I’ve done before. Sharing these experiences as a family makes every trip more meaningful. Along the way, I share recommendations for accommodations, travel tips, and gear to help make your own adventures great.
