What Happened to Sporty Dad?
It’s been a while since I have posted anything about being a sporty dad, but that does not mean I have been living the sporty dad life…(that sounds weird). Since my last Sporty Dad post, I have run a few races, did a Spartan race, and I did not run the Chicago marathon. That is…

How do you define aging? #DadsDisruptAging
Disclaimer: The following post is sponsored by Disrupt Aging from AARP. All thoughts, opinions and body pains are my own. Have you ever thought about why you do the things you do? For me, it’s trying to be athletic and show my children how athletic I am, but that has not always been the story. I…

Just Keep Running, Just Keep Running! (Sporty Dad 110)
On October 8th I joined about 45,000 other runners to run the city for the 40th Bank of America Chicago Marathon. The marathon has gone through a few different name changes, but the goal of all the runners is the same: to finish. Whereas last year I trained like a machine to run the marathon,…

It’s time to start running again!
Last year’s Shamrock Shuffle Next Sunday, April 2, I will be running in my fourth Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle. I will be running with thousands of other runners throughout Chicago’s downtown area and celebrating the beginning of the running season. Last year I ran the race in a pair of Lee Khakis just because they were…

Lessons from Dad 2.0 Summit in Washington D.C.
By the time you read this I will already be home. Depending on the day I post this I might be doing laundry, working at one of my two jobs or just hanging out with my children. The Dad 2.0 summit would have been over and everything has returned back to normal. Don’t get me…

Run like the wind or Look at me trying to be sporty 104
I know that is not how the songs goes, but it would have been strange to title this post “Run like the wind, Bullseye!” because I am not a fast runner like Bullseye the horse was. Since our last episode, I am still training for the upcoming Chicago Marathon. The program I am on has…

I ran how many miles? or “Look at me trying to be Sporty 102”
First off, as you can see, this episode of me being a Sporty Dad is sequentially numbered from the previous ones. I felt that I needed to start doing this, because with the numbers going everywhere, I did not want people to think that I was traveling through time doing all of these events. So…

Running in my Khakis…Yeah, it Happened! “Look at Me Trying to be Sporty #101”
Last month I wrote a post for Lee Jeans about their new X-Treme Khakis. In that post I wrote about how comfortable these khakis were and that “I am seriously thinking about doing my next run while wearing them.” Well, my next run was the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle and here’s my story of how…

Running the Polar Dash or Look at me trying to be sporty again.
If you remember in my last sporty dad post, I wrote about the Spartan Race that I ran and did not finish. After that day I said to myself that I will train harder, go back and complete the race. I decided that I am going to chronicle this return to Spartan and share with…

Why do I torture myself?
See that picture above? That is the only picture taken of me during the Spartan Super that I ran last weekend on August 15, 2015. While I may look like I’m doing good in that picture, things did not turn out that way. Look at me. I’m covered in mud. I look out of breath…
