New Year Day Run

Several years ago I heard that what you do on the first day of the year is the thing you do all year long. Since then I always get out first thing in the morning on New Year Day, after the Rose Bowl Parade and head out for a run. So...get out there and run...and enjoy the day. Have a Happy New Year and may this be your best year of running ever.

On January 21, 1997 while skiing, I blew my left knee out and was told by the doctor that my marathon running was over. But he was a great doc and did an incredible job on my knee...also I know that God had a major role in my overcoming the injury.
