Reader’s Digest
I thought I’d dump a quick paragraph or seven about me.
First, my url is completely uninspired. It’s my first initial, last name. The K stands for Kent. Go ahead and google me, you’ll have to wade through a bunch of hits about an author/professor who lives in Wisconsin. That’s not me; I’m in Chicago.
I mainly post about my fitness escapades, but I’ll also post about my wife, two kids, or 2 dogs 3 dogs now!. Pretty sure the only names I use are the dogs, Boomer and Riley (now the “mature” ones). We got them a few months into the pandemic and it was the best decision we could’ve made. We got Apollo about a year ago (March 2022) and boy has he been a handful.
I’ll also post about food from time to time. I do most of the cooking for my family. And music - I’ve played guitar for ages and decided to pick it back up during the pandemic.
I completed an Ironman in 2016, and I like to run back to back days because I feel like I improve as a runner the most when doing that. Thus the subtitle for my blog (“The Runstreaking Ironman”). Since then I’ve kinda dropped the swimming and biking to near zero, took up taekwondo with my family and earned a black belt. I started going to a climbing gym, but then ... covid. I’ve also done a couple of ultramarathons - 50ks, and intend to see how much longer of an ultra I can coerce my aging body to carry me through. 50 miles, 100k, 100 miles, ... longer?
The last couple of years my running’s been garbage. Partially due to the pandemic, but partially due to some mystery foot pain that’s plagued me for years and no amount of doctoring that I’ve tried thus far has fixed me. So at the moment I’m at square one trying to get back into it in 2022.
I rarely if ever post anything political, never supporting hatred, and keep my language pretty family friendly in case one day my kids stumbl across this and think their father’s a sailor and/or a hypocrite. And zero tolerance for porn blogs or otherwise sketchy accounts. I celebrate Blocktober year ‘round.
