I’m Ed Mahoney — runner, author, tech product director, and accidental philosopher on long runs. I’ve been married more than half my life, raised two daughters, and now chase after a granddaughter who’s faster than I am.
I began A Runner’s Story on New Year’s Eve 2009, first as a place for short fiction, and later as a chronicle of running, racing, travel, and writing. Along the way came two novels — Cyber War I and Full Spectrum Cyberwar — and my publishing imprint, Lobo Media.
I run because it’s raw and human — giving me a hedonistic kind of clarity. It’s reflection while in motion, a way to process life’s grind and find its rhythm. These stories aren’t only about running. They’re about the life that happens while I catch my breath.
A Runner's Story 
Hi Ed! Found your blog in a search for Imogene Pass, but it looks like you’ve done a lot of the races my husband and I want to try out (we’re in Albuquerque so Colorado and Texas are fairly close).
Thanks for your great race recaps! I’m sure I’ll be referring back to your blog for race info.

Yes, if you are lucky you can treat it while still running. Many running injuries simply require you to not run for 6 weeks. Still, you need to understand the cause or you might get it again. Sometimes the right shoes, other times you need to change your form. My left leg is shorter than my right and I need to ensure I don’t over stride. A really good running shoe store might help you with video. A knowledgeable Physical Therapist is best – one who knows runners.
