Getting Started #53 – Defeating Goliath
It’s been a while since I’ve made a video and some of you may have guessed that if you don’t
see a video from me for a while, it means that the ‘sheep’ has hit the fan. It’s been tough.
Wow. I’m getting ready for the World Championships, keeping my training up, dealing with
everything else in my life, and dealing with depression… Continue reading

A Birthday PR at The Bennington Road Race
Although I cannot remember the bulk of my life (a result of years of depression perhaps) there are a few conversations that have stayed in my memory as clearly as the day they occurred. One such dialog took place at a high school track meet in 1984. My coach Steve Zemianek took me aside after a race and in a stern tone uttered the question; “VanOrden, when are you going to get serious?”. Continue reading

Tim VanOrden’s Running Raw Times – December 26, 2007

One Year Anniversary of Running Raw
On November 3rd, 2004 I went 100% raw. One year later, on November 3rd, 2005 I started running. It’s been a year now since that journey began. This past year has provided a wonderful education in determination and sacrifice. I could have never predicted that this “experiment” would take over my life, but it has, and I’m grateful to be doing something that I believe in. Continue reading

The winner, Brian Rhodes-Devey was the NY state cross country champion this past fall, as is now ranked as one of the top 5 under age 19 runners in the country. Continue reading

All’s Quiet on the Eastern Front:
A clean, simple, plant-based diet/lifestyle is only one piece in the puzzle of true health. A potentially larger and more important factor in truly thriving is emotional well-being. Over the last six months it has become increasingly clear to me that I have a great deal to learn about my emotions and how they impact my life and my health Continue reading →
