Run to Live: Surgery
http://brookswilliams.blogspot.com/2013/10/surgery.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. It's been two months since I last posted, and I wish I had better news to share. I spent 4 days in the hospital in late August to both improve my lung function and try to diagnose the worsening stomach issues. 4 hours of therapy a day, another colonoscopy, and a PICC line in my arm for two weeks and it looked like I might be doing better. While the pathology was still inconclusive, my condition was at least narrowed down to either Fibrosing Colonopathy or severe Chrohns. Surgery...

Run to Live: My Story
http://brookswilliams.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-story.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Since this is my first post I should tell you a little bit about what makes me tick:. I had way too much living to do still, so that concept didn't work for me! As I've become stronger, and healthier, my mindset and goals have also evolved: I've transitioned from just wanting to be a finisher at these long distance races, to feeling like there's no reason I can't actually be competitive at them and potentially even begin winning events! Some of my racing accomplishments:. When ...

Run to Live: Worsening...
http://brookswilliams.blogspot.com/2013/08/worsening.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Last time I posted, I'd just had my first colonoscopy and was optimistic of biopsy results that would explain what was going on in my gut, why I was so fatigued, and why I had lost so much weight. Since the stomach issues (thought to maybe be ulcerative colitis) haven't been fixed or improved, I now am fatigued all the time with no appetite, I crap bloody diarrhea 6-10 times a day, and I weigh 129 lbs (from 145). Good times, huh? Fingers crossed for better news next time I write.

Run to Live: Summertime. Life is good.
http://brookswilliams.blogspot.com/2014/07/summertime-life-is-good.html
Sunday, July 6, 2014. Summertime. Life is good. Wow Time really flies when you're having fun. I had no idea it had been 3 months since my last post, but it's not for lack of new stories and adventures. but rather, because I'm too busy living them! I had my crack at Hardrock in 2010, and was humbled with my first DNF after only 44 miles. In a coincidental turn of events, I'll get to pace Sharpie through the miles that immediately follow Ouray, the site of my throwing in the towel in '10. Can't wait. Wow, ...

You Pronate In Those...: March 2010
http://youpronateinthose.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
You Pronate In Those. Confessions of a running newbie. Sunday, March 7, 2010. Went 90 minutes in the Garden today with the girls. it was pretty foggy, but surprisingly warm (and humid? The hills were killer, but seeing an adorable goldendoodle puppy and a mid-run "packet-o-crack" (aka Carb Boom) made things a little more enjoyable. All things considered, I'm ready to tackle 13.1 miles next Sunday. Hopefully my 904TR's can take the beating they have coming their way. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

You Pronate In Those...: Snow Blows
http://youpronateinthose.blogspot.com/2009/12/snow-blows.html
You Pronate In Those. Confessions of a running newbie. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Today's run was in North Cheyenne Canyon. and I only have one thing to say:. Things were great starting out- the weather was clear, it wasn't too chilly- but so help me, my feet just couldn't get a grip on the ground beneath them. If I had desired that feeling, I would've hopped on the treadmill. But here we were, out in the snow, and I was going to have to deal with it. Eventually, I just stopped. My feet were still slippi...

Run to Live: Don't Call it a Comeback (Been Here for Years)
http://brookswilliams.blogspot.com/2014/03/dont-call-it-comeback-been-here-for.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Don't Call it a Comeback (Been Here for Years). Last time I posted, I was proudly announcing my first 3 mile run post-surgery. A lot has changed since then. This has forced a totally new mindset as it relates to running, specifically, I've decided to start counting PR's as pre-surgery and post-surgery. I ran the St Patty's Day 5k a couple weeks ago. It took me 20:40. NEW PS (post surgery) PR! I ran a 5 mile run in 37 minutes last week. NEW PS PR! This last weekend was no exception...
