Don finishing the Hawaiian Marathon

Finishing strong at the Hawaiian Marathon—my 13th 26.2-mile journey.

My Run-Walk-Run Journey

Welcome! I’m Don, and this blog is my personal journal where I share the lessons, tips, and advice I’ve gathered while living the Run-Walk-Run Revolution.

I didn't start as an elite runner. In fact, like many, I once struggled with persistent injuries that threatened to keep me off the road entirely. Discovering the Jeff Galloway method changed everything for me. It wasn't just about finishing races; it was about discovering a way to run that felt sustainable, healthy, and—most importantly—fun. This site is dedicated to helping others find that same success.

What I’ve Learned So Far

Through the highs and lows of training across thousands of miles, I've had the privilege of completing:

  • 13 Full Marathons (including the grueling Dopey Challenge)
  • 35+ Half Marathons

Along the way, I became a certified ISSA Running Coach and a Jeff Galloway Program Director. While the content on this blog is provided for informational and educational purposes rather than direct medical or professional coaching advice, I am passionate about sharing what has worked for me and the lessons I continue to learn today.

The Run-Walk-Run Mission

My goal is simple: to help you stay injury-free and discover that running can be a lifelong path to a better, healthier life. Whether you are a brand-new runner taking your first steps or a seasoned veteran looking for a more sustainable approach, I hope my reflections can help you find your own "revolution" on the road through the power of strategic walk breaks and smart training.

Let's keep moving forward, one interval at a time.
