		<title>Book Club: &#8220;Endurance&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
At the time, book clubs were completely foreign to me. I had never been a part of one, didn’t know anyone that belonged to one, and I’d never been hit over the head with one. If anyone I knew had secretly been a member of some clandestine literary collective…they had remained faithfully discreet.
The first rule [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carry On: A Reflection on 9/11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
On September 11, 2001, I was preparing to fly to New York for a television performance with country superstar Tim McGraw and his band, the Dancehall Doctors; that appearance was cancelled as a result of the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers – what we now have come to refer to simply as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Runners Save With &#8220;Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Those of us that know the Rock ‘n’ Roll marathons and half marathons, we understand the excitement of sharing a great day of running with thousands of others, hearts beating in unison with pounding feet, all to the rhythm of the thumpin’ band around the next corner.
In honor of National Running Day on Wednesday, the Rock ‘n’ [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memorial Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
On this day of remembrance, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our servicemen and women that have bravely laid down their lives in the name of freedom and compassion.
They have served to defend those unable to defend themselves.  They have served to provide liberty for those that have seen their liberty denied.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Runner Goes Forth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
“Plow ahead.”  “Rock on.”  “Keep on truckin’.”  There are many different versions of this handy little catchphrase that drive us through life&#8230;drive us down bumpy roads, past unplanned inconveniences, through unexpected turmoil.  We’ve all been there.
The endurance athlete…lives there.  Thrives there.  Belongs there.
Now, when confronted with all the crap that seeks to derail us on [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011: Running Resolutions in Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’ve fallen into that trap before.  Placed the bar too high right out of the gun.  Made a big noise.  Determined how I was gonna change the world – (at least, MY world) &#8211; shouted it from the rooftops, and then watched it wash away in a swirl of uncontrolled zeal and &#8220;not-quite-thought-out&#8221; ambitions.
This year…yeah, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Runnin’ for the Sheriff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Okay…I guess my pal Shawn is officially a “Deputy Sheriff.”  I have no clue as to what his day-to-day gig is like, but when it hits the fan, I’m sure it really doesn’t matter.
And THAT…I DO know about Shawn.
We met last year, not long after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  It was at [...]]]></description>

		<title>McMahon Switches Gears for St. Jude Memphis Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


(Race photo from St. Jude Memphis Marathon website.)



“Well, if you don’t run New York, you’ve gotta run somethin’,” says Coach Kevin.  I don’t disagree.  I’m not totally ready, but I’ve trained up pretty good.  Better than last year.  I’d hate to let the mileage buildup go to waste, but…well, okay…what are [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYC Marathon Cancelled Due to Broken Coach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
“I’m in the hospital,” said Kevin, the national coach for Team McGraw.  “My foot’s all screwed up.  We are waiting on test results, but I’m still planning to make it to New York.”
Ouch.  That wasn’t part of our plan.  I was set to run the 2010 New York City Marathon in November with Team McGraw.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Make-Believe Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Okay, here’s the deal&#8230;
If you’ve heard from me recently, it might not have been me.  If you reached out, someone else may have answered you…or ignored you.
Facebookers, you may have even poked someone you don’t even know. Seriously.  Ew.
There are fake MySpace pages, fake Facebook pages, fake websites, fake email addresses.  Phony “Road Dog Runners,” pretend [...]]]></description>
