About Us
We are not professional athletes. We don’t have sponsors or endorsements. You won’t see us on the cover of Runners World. We have day jobs, well, most of us do. We run for the medals, cool tech-tees, free beer, to get ourselves off the couch and away from our kids, to have an excuse to travel, to have an excuse to drink in the morning, to be able to eat ice cream and smoked ribs, to slow down the aging process, to wear tutus and other crazy costumes, to spend more time with friends, to drink free beer in the morning, to hear strangers yell our names like we are rock stars. We run because it’s fun, and yes, because it’s good for us, mentally and physically. We run because at some point we wanted to try it or someone coerced into trying it, and then at another point we fell in love with it (although it is often a love/hate relationship).
We are CHAFING THE DREAM, not chasing it. Chasing it implies we still haven’t achieved, and that would be false. Just getting out there and running is the dream. And boy does it chafe sometimes, but that’s how we like it. It reminds us that our dream is real, that being human involves some friction, and that living is sometimes painful and rewarding at the same time.
We hope you read our stories and laugh, and maybe be a little inspired to go on a crazy running adventure yourself, and definitely say a toast in our honor and tip one back for us.

Team Chafing The Dream
As we continue to grow at Chafing The Dream, we have started to sponsor a few runners for solo races, group races, and team relay races. We would love to take requests for Team Chafing The Dream membership or race sponsorship, but at this point sponsorship is limited to those we reach out to. We hope this changes in the future! Keep supporting the blog and be on the look out for upcoming team news!
