A year ago, I used the Broad Street Run as a motivator to get in shape. In short, it worked. I raised money for a great charity, wrote an article for a PBS-affiliate and redefined so much of how I live my life. I’ve been blessed with an incredible 2014 and so far an even more promising 2015. So much of the opportunities I now have both professionally and personally resulted from this change in my lifestyle and improvement in my health.

This time around, I’m running for Students Run Philly Style. A division of the National Nursing Centers Consortium, Students Run Philly Style helps “combat childhood obesity, high school drop-out and youth violence, all while training for some of Philly’s most exciting races.”

This is a great cause and certainly something worthy of one’s support. As I did in 2014, I will be blogging my progress in training for the Broad Street Run this coming May. My training regimen will be quite different from last year, as I am working towards a more comprehensive level of fitness, across both core strength and cardiovascular elements.

There’s plenty more to come, as I will post vitals (via my Basis Peak) as well as descriptions of training, diet, target goals and other fun updates along the way.

Thanks and welcome back! – Rob
