Over twenty five years ago I started the Wesley College chapter of my life as a college freshman. It’s hard to imagine that I have spent nearly half of my lifetime all at one place; that place being Wesley College. People joke around about having second homes, the gym or their job, but the truth […]
A year ago, I broke my foot and was determined more than ever to not let KEM, my Philly Team Challenge family, or myself down and run the Vegas Half Marathon anyway in honor of KEM and his fight against Crohn’s Disease (the race was just 3 weeks after breaking up with that boot/cast). And while […]
Earlier this week I found myself in a very silly text conversation with my mom and sister. I started the conversation off with a random text to both of them saying, “soooo Kevin and I don’t know how to do Thanksgiving. We’ve never not traveled…” My sister responded, “as in you don’t know how to […]

Ever since Kane got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease I have been doing tons of online research about it. Meanwhile “big brother” watched me… I kept seeing all kinds of ads on Facebook and in my gmail “spam” emails about Team Challenge. Finally I decided to look it up. Team Challenge is a walking and running […]
If you recall from a previous post #RWRunStreak, created by RunnersWorld.com, is a challenge to runners to run at least a mile every day starting on Memorial Day and ending of the 4th of July. That is equivalent to 37 days of running. Now, most people accept that challenge and determine their daily mileage accordingly. As […]
I have tendinosis, not to be confused with tendonitis. Basically where my glute and hamstring meet or join together there are some beginning signs of degeneration. Several treatments are available but only one is covered by insurance – PHYSICAL THERAPY. At this point I have been struggling daily with pain so physical therapy is the […]
