Welcome to our new website and my blog format. Nothing to fear with your weekly running email, just a change in how it will come to you. Why change and why the website? I have been sending out emails for over a year now and working with many of you, helping with your running training and other fitness related guidence. With this website I want to reach out to a larger audience and create a place that will bring a different approach to running and fitness. Yes, there will be a fee for membership that will allow for visibility of some pages, but I believe the fee will be small compared to the content and services that will be provided. There will also be some information and pages for those that choose to just visit the website. The blog along with other basic running plans and weekly challenges will all be free to all.

"No finish line running", is something I came up with last year and has stuck with me. This website will always be focused on running being more than a finish line at a race. Running is meant to be so much more and far more rewarding than competing in a race. Most, if not all of you have overcome obstacles to become runners and each day you face obstacles that make running a challenge. I will continue to try and help keep running important and relavant in your life. For me, I struggle when more than a couple days pass without running, not because of the physical aspect, but more the mental and quite often the social role it plays in my life. I've gained so many wonderful friends through running and it's always fun to connect through group runs.

Hopefully this website will offer all that visit it or become members a place to find resources, ideas, connection to other runners and much more. I will continue to work to add matierial that will be helpful in all aspects of your physical well being. My goal is to continue to evolve with all the new ideas and technology and help others to enjoy and love what running and exercise can bring to them. If it's not fun, it won't last!

So look at the website and know that it's not about the money, but in order to build a good website it will take time and money. I will continue to seek feedback and build this website for you! Because we are a low budget operation, bare with us as we grow the website. Already you can check out the weekly challenge work out or veiw a great running plan for getting back into running. All just a click of the mouse! My daughter Jennifer is the website designer and builder and I'm thrilled with what she's accomplished. So much more to come...

See you on the road.
