Today I Run

  With the beginning of a new year comes a new race schedule and I was very excited to kick off the year with an ultra Tsali frosty foot 50k.  My first race of the year was going to be in Tsali recreation area a place I was somewhat familiar with because about a year ago me and three friends camped out for two days and mountain biked the same [...]

July has came and went and it is hard to believe that I have made it through five months and 1830 miles of car free traveling. When I started this project I had no idea what to expect or how many miles I would be traveling. Now looking back and forward I have learned a great deal and it appears that I will surpass the 2000 mile car free mark [...]

Did you miss me? The month of June was a very busy one for several reasons.(see the list below) I missed several opportunities for some good writing but learned a lot along the way. During the month of June I… - Celebrated both my wife and daughters birthdays - Purchased a new vehicle for my wife (due to hail damage as a result of me driving) - Ran in my [...]

Over half way there and man has it been a busy couple of weeks. I apologize for the time away and look forward to getting back on a regular posting schedule. I wanted to start off with a recap of the last three months. My wife started a new job on May 2nd which puts her back on the same schedule that I am on. I was curious how this [...]

I have a bit of a confession to make.  I hope after reading my reasoning you feel the same way that I do about my confession.  The last two weeks have been pretty hectic due to severe storms that tore through our town. Resulting in my driving a car for the first and second time inside of my twenty file mile car free radius. On Wednesday April 26th, 2011 the news and [...]

I am officially on month three of my six month car free journey.  It is hard to believe that I am on the month that will bring me to the half way point. WOW, time sure does fly when you mature. My mileage appears to be on an upward trend, as I am sure it will over the next couple of months, given my racing schedule.  I was surprised to [...]

I must admit this week had its ups and downs and I am not talking terrain or elevation. A couple of highs and the lowest of lows since I started on March the 1st. Ok so I will admit I am a little of a germaphobe when it comes to certain things. I believe that my little obsession along with a strong immune system keeps me pretty much on the straight [...]

Another great week at the Brown household and believe it or not I’m still experiencing firsts after 48 days of being car free.  This week I biked to my first work sponsored luncheon, rode my bike in the pouring rain, and had a much needed date night with my wife. I must say I work for an amazing company, Claris Networks. We typically have a quarterly meeting to catch up and [...]

I am currently working with retailers to provide multiple collection points. Once I have been given the approval I will list the various locations on this page.  If you are interested in hosting a collection point please use my contact page to let me know.

Ok, so a month has came and gone and I am still excited as ever about running and riding everywhere, I thought now would be a good time to recap the month of March and why I am doing this. The grand total for the month of March was 360 miles. If you divide that by 18 miles per gallon that is 20 gallons of gas. Multiplied by the average gas price [...]
