Welcome! and thank you for visiting my little home on the web. I would love to tell you more about my journeys in tech and running. I mostly write about what I learn from running long distances and building large scale web applications. I also enjoy reading your email responses.
Thank you, Chris
Running is simple.
I should have started a running habit 10 years ago, or 8 years ago or even 3 years ago.
Each time I talked myself out of starting by focusing on the overwhelming details. I obsessed over not having good shoes, the right shorts, a proper running path nearby, enough time, it was too cold/hot, or it just wasn’t a good day to start.

Put on shoes.
Run.
I couldn’t pick the right training plan. Which plan is the best?
It doesn’t matter.
Just go running.
Do I rest every other day? Go for long runs on the weekends? Should I stretch? What about interval training???
It doesn’t matter.
Just go run.
I used the details as an excuse. Go running and you’ll be a runner. The rest are inconsequential details. Before the details matter I need to have a solid base. Before the details matter I need to be able to run a 5K without feeling like I’m dying. Ignore the details and run.
