Now Available: 365.2: Going the Distance, A Runner’s Journey

My newest book, 365.2: Going the Distance, A Runner’s Journey is now available for pre-order:

“It’s easy to make a New Year’s resolution. It’s much more difficult to fulfill it. Dr. Paul Semendinger, a 53-year-old father of three, an average runner (who runs about one marathon a year), an author, and a school principal, decided to run every single day for an entire year. That was his New Year’s Resolution. This is the story of his quest to do what, for him, seemed to be the impossible. There were no off-days, no chances to take it easy. He made a promise to himself to run every day in 2022. He worked to achieve that goal as one of the biggest parts of his life changed radically. This is his tale of running. It’s also the story of a year in his life.

Join Dr. Sem as he pushes ever forward. This is a story of motivation, of drive, of success, and even failure. The insights, the humor, the reflection, and the emotion that is part of this true tale is one that should motivate and inspire others to set their own goals for themselves and find ways to achieve them letting nothing get in the way of reaching a goal, no matter how unreasonable it might seem to others.

We all have goals, this book will help you reach yours!”

My Favorite Books from 2023

I love books! I read and read and read some more. In 2023, I read 45 books. 

Here, in brief, were my favorites. These are listed in the order I read the books, they aren’t ranked, except for the fact that I put the Bible first:

The Holy Bible – My goal in 2023 was to read the Bible. I did it. It is an amazing and wonderful book (of course). I learned so much. I am so glad I read the Bible. Of course, it is a very complex book and there is a great deal in there, so, in 2024, I’m reading it again. I think this will be something I do every year going forward.
