On Drinking Alone
http://cupofjo.com/2015/08/on-drinking-alone/
By Erin Geiger Smith. I can’t recall exactly when I came to appreciate a solo glass of wine, but I do remember making a concerted effort never to do it. In my twenties, for years, it just seemed awkward maybe even wrong and I’ve always been a rule follower. Plus, I couldn’t help picturing Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones’s Diary, lip sync-wailing “All. By. My-self! But somewhere along the way, as I grew up, my attitude shifted from “I shouldn’t” to “Why wouldn’t I? While I can’t say I’ve been applauded o...

Brother BaddRunners: April 2014
http://baddrunner.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Life of a Traveling Salesman. It has been far too long since this Baddrunner has posted. Part of the reason is because of my extensive travel responsibilities for my job as a traveling salesman. What do I sell? Or at least running products. I represent Pearl Izumi. Timing and Pocket Fuel. I set up a Pearl Izumi shoe try on booth during the Endurance Challenge in Jonesboro, AR. This is a great event put on by Gearhead Outfitters. I stopped by to see The Runner's Hub. My wife/ busin...

Brother BaddRunners: St. Jude Marathon: Watching for Gracie
http://baddrunner.blogspot.com/2014/12/st-jude-marathon-watching-for-gracie.html
Sunday, December 14, 2014. St Jude Marathon: Watching for Gracie. These clowns ran by - one bad runner running at least. A marathon is a great achievement, and so when Gracie said she was going to be running the St. Jude Marathon I decided I would go and cheer her on as she worked to complete her goal. Determined. Anxious. Thrilled. Perplexed. Silly. Befuddled. Full of joy. Painful. These were the looks on faces as they filed by in a never-ending massive group. It was fun seeing Bryan Baddorf. But how pr...

We chatted for a few minutes and I remember being amazed (really I still am) that a gold medalist had asked me how my running was going! It is nice to sense this as I run past his house, knowing I am passing by one of The Greats. I imagine him sipping his coffee and looking out the window, naturally he knows when a runner is near, nodding in approval of the offering even if it is meager. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, December 18, 2013. The Connection Between Running and Facial Hair. Currently I am training for my first mountain. Marathon and it just feels right to have a. Mustache - my wife says it's my face. And begrudgingly accepts it. She. Secretly love its even if she doesn't know.). This was the process of how growing facial hair became intertwined with my running. I remember distinctly the conversation with my brother Bryan. "We are getting ready to run our first marathon. The Memphis mar...A few yea...

Brother BaddRunners: April 2015
http://baddrunner.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Teddy Roosevelt always referred to his experiences in the Spanish American War as his "Crowded Hour." That phrase popped into my head when I reflected back on the last six months of my life. This period was without a doubt very stressful but the anxiety was a result of many blessings within a short span. Roosevelt and his legendary Rough Riders on San Juan Hill. Then of course the baby himself appeared! Charles "Charlie" Dixon Baddorf at 8 weeks. Nothing. Not having goals is k...

Brother BaddRunners: Wrong Side of the Explosion
http://baddrunner.blogspot.com/2009/04/wrong-side-of-explosion.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Wrong Side of the Explosion. And that's when my race explosion happened ( explosion. Around mile 9 I realized I was not going to make it without a bathroom stop, or as Bryan calls them, a bowel movement. Damn! I told Bryan to go on and I stopped. Talk about trying to keep your mind focused when you feel the clock raging in your mind - tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. DAMN! I had to stop again to walk the cramp off because I literally could not run through it - not unless I was going...
