2025 #TridgeToBridge240 – FINISHED!
A course of 240 miles allows for quite a variation in strategy. Where to stop and rest, where to push on; there’s no right or wrong way. There are advantages and disadvantages to every plan, and consequences for every choice you make out there. Over the last five years, my good friend Sean and I […]
2025 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 3
The run I spoke of yesterday has finally come to an end in Alpena, landing me at the doorstep of a place I truly love to stay. Years as a repeat customer have led to a friendship with the owners; they are sweet and kind, and take exceptionally good care of me. I wouldn’t dream […]
2025 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 2
When I’m out on these adventures I try very hard to, once each day, make a meaningful post sharing something from the road. Some days that’s easier than others. There is always something to say, but finding the time to put it properly down ‘on paper’ can often be a task in itself. The way […]
2025 #TridgeToBridge240 – Day 1
These adventures are a reset for me. Sometimes all of the stresses we deal with every day can seem to pile up on us. Sometimes it can be….. a lot. Those I’m connected with on my personal page know we lost the furry member of our family this week, quite unexpectedly. Over time we will […]

2025 #RunToBayshore – Day 3
Setting out northbound from Cadillac before sunrise, my goal is to cover just over a marathon by late morning. If I time it right, I can get there just as Crystal opens the doors at the Buckley Roadside Bar. She tends the bar there, makes me a cheeseburger, and homemade Cherry Cokes. She’s even been […]
2025 #RunToBayshore – Day 2
I have a few policies that I stick to when I’m out on an adventure like this. One is to wash my hands, every opportunity that I have. Running all day, my hands get slimy with sweat, sticky with Gatorade, and covered in road debris kicked up by passing traffic. Afterwards, I’m really not any […]
2025 #RunToBayshore – Day 1
Over the last few months, life’s obligations have made training difficult. Work, family dinners, high school baseball games….. these things are extremely important to me. But they also mean that running may take a back seat at times. Now that this weekend has arrived, I’ve been a little nervous as I’m feeling far less fit […]
