Sunday’s readings were about Jesus walking. I know you think it was about Jesus healing a deaf-mute, but from my perspective it was about walking because I was trying to keep up with him. Yesterday I walked 12 miles from HaOn on the east side of the Sea of Galilee around the southern tip and [...]

You can see the run-walk here on EveryTrail. You can watch the videos, follow the map and see lots of pictures of the city, plus the rainbow. Would have walked faster and further had it not been for the cold rain. Galway is a nice university town, young, friendly, quaint and clean. You will enjoy [...]

We are up North in Michigan where Janet’s parents live in the summer. Her sisters all came for a short family reunion. I stayed at the Crooked River Lodge to stay out of their way. I took off about 6:20 AM for a hike thru the woods and watched the sun rise. Smells and sounds [...]

I had no plan when setting out in 90+ degrees in Rome. It was the road that determined my direction. I took a 2 1/2 hour power walk around new areas of Rome following the interesting sites ahead of me. I started up Via Fornaci. I found a new – for me – ancient church [...]

Again hot and humid – glad I know where a the water drinking fountains around the city. Had to drink a lot. I headed first to St. Peter’s Square since from there you can head off in many fun directions. On my way then to Piazza Navona I visited some newly discovered churches. Discovering new [...]

It is hot and humid in Rome. We arrived at 10 AM and promptly fell asleep until 4 PM. The best way to beat jet lag is to run (briskly walking until my knee is ready to run again). Took off walking from our Aurelia Residence apartment and visited Cicerone Hotel where our Holy Cross [...]

Doing video work in Phoenix and had Saturday morning free for an adventure before flying home this afternoon. I also wanted to get some exercise. I drove to Papago Park outside Phoenix in nearly 100 degrees for a good mountain, desert hike. Though I only hiked 3 miles, a lot of it was rough going [...]

Three years ago the doctor told me I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I was pre-diabetic – with a few other problems as well. He gave me pills. I told him I didn’t need his pills, I knew what to do… …lose 40 pounds, cut my food intake in half and eliminate unhealthy [...]

UPDATE: Surgery complete and successful. Doctor said my running days are over. Rats! Now bikes, elliptical, swimming and brisk walking. I love to run and I must have twisted or jerked my knee the wrong way last September when I could feel the pain and swelling. An MRI revealed a torn meniscus which is the [...]

Today I ran-walked around Ave Maria Town in Florida (surgery on my knee Wednesday and then no run-walk, just run!). I spoke on Mary twice yesterday at the university conference on Mary. There were about 300 people attending which was not bad since it was their first every Marian Conference and had very little prep [...]

It was a beautiful Sabbath. No traffic. Jews, Muslims, Christians all out walking. Children everywhere. I walked briskly (until my knee surgery later this month) for 9 miles from north to south. I followed the light rail train track through the city. I started at Notre Dame near the Old City and the Tomb of [...]

I have two things here to inform, entertain and instruct. Many Americans think it is unsafe and dangerous to come to the Holy Land. However, 3.5 million people are walking the streets, praying at holy sites and following the footprints of Jesus and his Mother. In the first you will hear the testimony of pilgrims [...]

Today I took off for 8.7 miles along the eastern coast of the Sea of Galilee. I have only a few segments left to complete my run around the whole sea. However, since I have a torn meniscus in my knee (operation on May 23) I had to refrain from running on this segment and [...]

My goal is to run between 1,000 to 1,200 miles a year. As my wife and I get older we consider it our “medicine.” Today I am right on track even though I have a torn meniscus in my knee. I have an appointment on May 23 (when I return from Israel) to get orthopedic [...]

Video of today’s pilgrimage is now here. But I did put up my morning run/walk below. A great new day with perfect weather. All the lost suitcases have been found and delivered. Everyone is thrilled and doing great. I put up my exercise route here with pictures, videos and a map along the shore of [...]

Check out my running trip with a map, pictures and video on EveryTrail.com: Fishermen and Galilee Shoreline. Picture 1: Looking across Galilee to the Golan Heights, visited by Jesus; Picture 2) Hills (mountains by Israel’s standards) along the Sea of Galilee. Jesus went up to mountains to pray. Was this one of them? 3) Fisherman [...]
