Back To Square Run-Episode 1 "The Sandman Returns"

   When I first started this blog I intended to jump-start an accompanying video podcast, also known as a vlog, too. But things got busy in my life, like they do for everyone, and the blog was all I could manage to put out for the longest time. I really enjoyed making video projects for my previous running blogs and even went out and purchased some expensive video recording equipment.  All of which have been steadily collecting dust in my office. 

   Recently, my good friend Zen Runner came up with this great idea to challenge his friends to create a daily vlog or audio podcast for the entire month of August. I've yet to dip my feet into the podcasting world. But I'm a sucker for taking up challenges from friends and know a thing or two about vloging.

   So it's time to dust off the video equipment, download iMove on the iPhone and re-launch myself into the world of video podcasting. The show will appropriately be titled Back To Square Run. Through it I will introduce you to who I am, where I'm running to all the dang time and where I'd like to eventually wind up. Most of the topics will revolve around running, but nothing's off the table! I promise though, no nudity, violence or hateful concepts. There will be lots of humor, interesting discussions on fitness, running, running product and race reviews and maybe even a little sadness (because some days, not every run is great).

   As the month of August draws to a close I will also be closing in on a year of recovery from my back injury. It was an event like no other in my life that caused everything to come to a grinding halt, question who I was and challenged me more than any marathon I've ever run. It's been a long journey and I couldn't think of a better way to share what I've discovered through this crazy time. Sometimes being an endurance athlete means more than just running everyday or finishing a couple of marathons a year, it means enduring  when faced with ugly things in your life. 

   But I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. I've got a whole month of videos to talk about that stuff! So, lets just start from the beginning. 

   Who am I? Well, I'm me of course...
