Running, With and Without a Race
As I’ve written about before, the name of my blog, Running the Race, has multiple meanings for me. One meaning refers to a verse in the Bible: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let […]
New Shoes, New Year
As many of you know by now, I chose the name of my blog because of its Biblical significance (Hebrews 12) and because of my lifelong love for running.

Running the Race
I had a harder time selecting the name of my blog and writing “a little bit about myself” than I did writing anything recently.
