The title for this blog actually goes back some time. Many years ago I shaved my beard into a VanDyke. I shook my head as I looked in the mirror. My wife asked me what the problem was and I said that I now looked like a "sinister minister." Well, the VanDyke has stayed and is slowly turning to gray and it is probably here to stay.
A couple of years ago I began to get serious about running again and when I did I announced that I would no longer be the "sinister minister"...I would be the "faster pastor".
I'm not sure that I can really be called the "faster pastor" in comparison to others, but I'm faster than I was when I took the sport up again.
The running, and the VanDyke, are here to stay.
