The Hot Water Still Runnin

I am Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. Wait, wrong origin story. Let me try that again,

I am Jon, and I like to run. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes on a trail, sometimes on the road. Sometimes at dusk, sometimes at dawn. Sometimes with my youngins sometimes just with Jon. Sometimes in the rain, sometimes in the snow.

But regardless whether it's 5 degrees outside in Colorado or 100 degrees outside in Georgia, it's one of my favorite things to do and continues to be one of my favorite things in general. And it's because it is a collection, an accumulation of a whole bunch of little things,

The wind swooshing onto my face as I am struggling up a hill; the rhythm, beats, and rhymes pounding into my eardrums; the chaffing of even crack and crevice I didn't even know that could chaff; the fresh breath of air to supply me with nutrients immediately followed by the rapid release of waste that serves me no purpose; the anxiety of trying to find a place to pee because your bladder is the size of a pistachio; the old black guy on the block who gets amp'd just to see me running around his neighborhood,

And it's a relatively easy task. One foot, two foot, red fish, blue fish. So basic and simple, even a Jonny can do it. Wait a minute...

Back to the topic: this blog's main purpose to share all the stories of my running childhood, share all of races through all 50 states for #runningjonchallenge, share weekly songs (that will be connected to my Spotify account on a link somewhere), and to just talk about some stuff. Proud ambassador of the Lifelong Endurance running program and proud supporter of someone who likes to run in nice neighborhoods, without having the guise of stealing someone's tv. 

Enjoy, 

Running song of the week is "Runnin" by The Pharcyde
