Gusher Marathon Video

This was video from the Gusher Marathon and Half Marathon from our local newspaper's website. My three seconds of fame start at 1:06 of this video, as I come up on the right-hand side, cross in front of the camera and disappear at 1:09 (in red shorts and white shirt - #4076).

Welcome To Running Green

Running is one of my great passions. I had a dream to run a marathon race. Running Green began for my motivation, as a training journal, to track progress towards my 26.2-mile goal.

Running Green evolved into an outlet for other passions, evironmental activism, yoga, health, fitness and nutrition. It serves as a soapbox on these topics, and as an outlet for other thoughts that may beg for words.

On May 1, 2010, I realized my marathon goal, completing the Gusher Marathon in Beaumont, Texas.

Running is the ultimate Green sport. It is a perfect fit for a sustainable lifestyle; it requires very little investment of resources, is dependent only on my own legs, and keeps me fit virtually for free. I have some modest running gear, but all I really need is a pair of shoes. Running puts me in places where I can enjoy nature. I don't have to use a car; I can run out the door and go wherever my legs will take me. I drive or bicycle to nearby parks for a few of my runs, but most runs start from my front door.

Yoga is an equally green pursuit, requiring no resources other than my body, mind and spirit. It serves as a perfect complement to my running, providing recovery to sore, tight muscles, and adding balance to my overall activity. Yoga is my yin to running's yang.
