Adding heart, humor, and humility to the world of running.
Who is The Size 15 Runner?
Hey there! I’m Ben, The Size 15 Runner. From consistent last-place finishes in 8th grade cross country races to concerted training for a sub-three-hour marathon, and everything in between, I’ve experienced it all through nearly 20 years of running. As my mileage increased and my running ability improved, I ended my love-hate relationship with running and started a new one based on unconditional love for the sport that has brought me immense fulfillment, happiness, and purpose throughout my life.
Why create this blog?
I have long felt the inescapable, burning desire to express my intense love of running beyond putting one foot in front of the other on pavement or trails. When you joyfully exert so much physical and mental energy on running, you come to understand there must be a greater purpose than running just for yourself. Now, I am determined to share with you the power of running that I’ve discovered. It is my sincere hope that this site inspires, entertains, and delights runners of all levels and backgrounds—including those wishing to become runners.
What is this blog?
I always sought after a site that could satisfy my need for all-things running. I am fully determined to become that site—delivering approachable, engaging, and worthwhile running content that stands apart from the ubiquitous stale and recycled running material out there. Hope you’ll come along for the run and keep pace with The Size 15 Runner!
