The major SEO update to the Coach Kiprunning website is nearly complete. The work has been painstaking and long, but in the end, it should be worth it. Our new SEO settings should result in better search rankings and, we hope, increased web traffic. We will also be enhancing the site navigation via a fresh breadcrumb installation, and we will also ensure that the appropriate meta images are in place for all manner of social sharing.
This whole project came about due to some unexpected compatibility problems with a move to a new hosting platform. Once the website was upgraded, it basically crashed (of course), and we had to reset all of the search engine optimization settings just to get it running again. Once we did that, well, we had to start all over again.
And so here we are. We're shooting to complete this project in about a week, which means that the new site will be fully functional just after the new year. Once everything is in place, we will start sharing links to important parts of the site on my Twitter feed and on the official Coach Kiprunning Twitter feed. Follow us there now and always!
In the meantime, enjoy the last few days of 2019. I can't believe that we are on the verge of the four-year anniversary of this blog.

Brief Race Recap: Jingle All the Way 5K
It went okay. Better than okay, by many measures. This was my first race of any kind--my first workout, truly--in about 18 months. And even though I would have liked to have run a little faster--I always want to run faster--that pacing was much better than I would have expected.
Things remain tentative, but I do feel like I am, in a manner of speaking, back.

Coach Kiprunning at Jingle All the Way 5K
There will be more about this soon, but for now, the brief announcement: I will be representing Coach Kiprunning at this coming Sunday's Jingle All the Way 5K. This will be my first race (of sorts) since my ankle surgery in November 2018.
I suppose a disclaimer is in order for any and all of my medical professionals who might be reading this post: I am not racing this race. I've merely reached the point in my rehab where it is a good idea to get out and to be around other running enthusiasts. I'm merely trying to see if I can hold down a pace that's about ten to twenty seconds faster on average than what I have been running during my training.
This is a low-stakes just-for-fun kind of thing, and I am looking forward to it.
More to come!
