Impossible Gear By popular request, we're expanding the apparel line beyond just shirts.

What Can You Do In 2 Years Anyway?
What can you do in 2 years anyways? That's a good question. 2 years ago, I started making some changes in my life that led me to where I am today. One of those, included starting this blog. That decision led to a whole lot of other things that I've been able to do over the last 731 days that I used to think were impossible. A few of them include: Getting my first 'real' job ever (at a place that didn't rhyme with QPS). Thanks Todd! Running my first ...
Greetings From The Dominican Republic
Greetings from the Dominican Republic. I've been traveling quite a bit over the past few days and spending lots of quality time in airports but I'm finally getting settled in down here in the Caribbean. I'll be here for the next 2 months as I'm living with friends down here and working on a business project and a new fitness goal I'll be revealing soon. While travel always throws a wrench into scheduled activities and we'll be back on our regular schedule ...
3 Things I’d Love Your Help With
I got into Austin late last night and kicked off SxSw this morning with a mile and a half walk in a small monsoon. Fortunately, the next few days are looking to be a lot of fun and (hopefully) a lot less wet. In the meantime, there's a few things that are happening around the blog that I'd love your help with. 3 Things I'd Love Your Help With 1.

The Impossible TRI Triathlon Program Is Here!
It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. After 2 months of writing, way too many cases of Red Bull, and more than a few all nighters combined with a solid attempt at becoming permanently nocturnal, it's finished. I spent the good part of the last 2 months working on this, but the Impossible TRI Triathlon Guide is finally here. If you want to do a triathlon this year, I don't know of a better resource out there than what we just put together. Susan ...
200 Story Lines
I was looking through my archives last week and realized I was coming up on a big number. 200. Huh. Today's post is the 200th I've written on the blog. There's nothing significant about the number per se - sure, it's nice and round, but by itself it's nothing special. I didn't plan on it and I wasn't counting down, but somehow over the past couple years, I've written 200 little stories. The large majority of those came when I still had my regular 9-5 ...
Greetings From Targetopolis
Greetings from Minneapolis. I got in yesterday and from the current looks of things, I'm fairly sure Target is just a few years away from officially renaming Minneapolis - Targetoplis (I'm pretty sure they own the entire city). If you didn't know, I'll be speaking at the Target Headquarters (yes, that Target) in a few hours (is this real life?). I'll be sharing a little about my story, triathlon and my take on doing the impossible. So for the last few ...
What The Heck Is Going On Around Here?
Good question! There's a ton of stuff in the works right now at Impossible HQ. It can all get a little bit crazy so every once in a while, I try to write everything down to keep track of things. This time, I thought I'd share. Here are some of the things that I'm up to this February. New Homepage Design The incredible team over at Spyr Media cooked up an amazing new design for JoelRunyon.com. Previously it was a little stale, out-of-date and didn't really ...
9 Impossible Things I’ll Do In 2012
2011 was a heckuva year. I did some things I never thought I'd be able to do and started down a road I never really planned on going. It was a little crazy to look back on the last 12 months and see what happened. But the past is the past and the only thing that matters is now. What are you going to do now? 2012 just started and you've got a whole new year to do something impossible. Here are some of the impossible things I'm planning for 2012 Launch My ...
