One Runner's Brain

Lobes of the Brain

My name is Eric Selvig and what started as a narrative of the inner workings of my brain has transformed into running with a purpose. It has become more of a journey. One in which I look to find a deeper relationship with God – thru running. I don’t run 5/min. miles and completing an event is a victory in my book. What I am is somebody that loves to run. I’ve completed 1 marathon and 6 – 1/2 marathons in the past 3+ years. I started to run for my health and continue to run for my spiritual health.

When ORB started, I was running it alone – I am alone no longer. Troy Schrenk, one of my running comrades and an inspiration for ORB has joined me on this narrative journey. Troy brings another competitive level to this running blog. A couple of years ago, I gave him a push in the right direction and he’s taken it to the Nth level. For those of you “Boston Qualifier” types, Troy’s your guy. He’ll share his serious mileage and insight as well as off-the-wall brain type stuff ORB is noted for.
