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, ...

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...

Happy Birthday to me | Bret Stevens 262
https://bretstevens26point2.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/happy-birthday-to-me
Random questions →. Happy Birthday to me. January 19, 2012. Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. I saw this on Courtney’s. Blog, and I thought it would be appropriate on my birthday. Seven things about me:. I was in the Air Force for 10 years. I traveled to Japan, Guam, England, France, and Spain, and I met my wife, Carol, who was in the Air Force, too, in England. If I had one person t...

Newer posts →. 2011 Rock and Roll Denver Half Marathon. October 25, 2011. I really had to have a good talk with myself to get revive my spirits. It was probably a little sad to see a 44 year old man talking himself into a good mood. However, I really didn’t come out of the funk until the last 5K. Coming out of Cheesemen Park, I felt pretty good and finished the half marathon strong and happy. Why would someone only run. October 25, 2011. October 3, 2011. This summer, Runners Roost. Anyways, I survived th...
