Felt great to get some miles in on this perfect evening.

8 sunrise miles 🌅

Not to brag, but I’ve ran every day this year.

8.25 miles on this gorgeous day. That was further than I should have ran today but it was nice to be out. My running didn’t go as planned this year as I am only at 427 miles. I lost the motivation and love of running for too much of the year. On the plus side I’m ending the year weighing less than I started the year and feeling healthier. Bring on 2024 with new goals and plans.

4 snowy miles.

A much needed 6 mile run to start the day. Have a great Saturday everyone.

I haven’t been posting as much about my running but that’s mainly because I haven’t been doing enough running. I am trying to get back into a regular routine again and it’s hard. I’m hoping to get this going for Market to Market and the Good Life Halfsy. So far I’ve now ran more miles in the 4 days of September than I ran all of June 🤣. Have a great day friends.

Who wants to join me for a 5K Tuesday morning? It's time again for everyone's favorite challenge;

The Brockstar Independence Day 5k! (11th annual) The plan is to run around Holmes Lake starting around 7am by the softball fields. This is an untimed fun run and run at your own risk. All paces welcome to join. Let's celebrate the holiday and have some fun!

As always there's always the virtual run challenge option. Run a 5K anywhere and it counts as long as it's on the 4th. I've even done the virtual option when I'm not in town. This event has always been more of a challenge to get active on a fun day usually filled with BBQ and beverages.

As always this race promises nothing and delivers. (No shirt, no bib, no water stops, no timing, just friends and running)

It's been a while since I've been sore from a workout. It is a good sore and shows how much work I need to do get back where I want as I modified everything even the pushups but it’s more than I’ve done in months and now I need to keep it going.

Made a quick trip to Brian Head Utah for the Cedar Breaks Half Marathon. My friend Stephanie and I started the race at 2:30 am Saturday morning. It was a crazy challenging trail race especially at night with all the rocks and some slick muddy spots. We had to ride a ski lift to the start and made the climb the rest of the way to the peak. It is my slowest half marathon and yet we still finished in the top half! The full moon helped light some of the way but unfortunately, the meteor shower wasn't great and I only saw one meteor when I wasn't busy looking down to find where to step. The elevation got to me at the end but we hobbled across the finish and while I'm not sure I would ever do that again, it was an unforgettable experience. We drove back to the peak later in the morning and stopped in Cedar Breaks National Park for the views on the way back out to the airport.

Got in a nice 10 mile run on this beautiful morning.

Thanks to everyone for the fun 10th annual Brockstar Independence Day 5K! And while the group run is always a good time, the important thing is getting out and active for a while today no matter where you are. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

2.5 miles to kick off the day. Have a safe and happy weekend.

For as much time as I spent shooting hoops growing up you would really think I would be better at basketball than I am.

I wanted to stop and complain about the heat on my run but these flowers were just too damn happy to care.

3 miles. Good morning.

Took some time off from running since I ended my run streak. Used that time to work on moving and getting the old house ready to sell along with heal up and refresh after the marathon. But I got back out there today for 2 miles for . Time to get back in the groove and get to chasing new goals again.

I've decided to let my run streak end at 130 days. I'm letting it end on my terms. It got to through the marathon and accomplished what I needed it for. These next few weeks are going to be busy and I just don't need the added stress of the streak on top of it. Thanks everyone who has encouraged me along the way.

Day 123 😏

Ran my 3rd full marathon this morning and got a PR by 20 mins. I enjoyed the first half of the race and was running easy and faster than expected. Ended up having some leg and foot issues after mile 17 and had to slow down and do whatever I could to finish. I'm thankful for my family for dealing with the crazy morning and putting up with logging all these miles headed into the race. I couldn't do this without Kirsten supporting my crazy running adventures and then listening to me whine when I'm hurting.

Thank you so much for the amazing support and with your help we raised over $2,000 for Project Purple to help fight pancreatic cancer which is what really matters. It was great seeing so many smiling happy faces cheering us on along the course. Run streak day 122 is complete, 123 may not happen, we'll see. Thanks again, I'm sore, hurting, but feeling blessed and thankful.

Needed new shoes so I hit up for their Run It Local special that just started and got a $25 gift card to use on my next visit with the purchase of my Sauconys. Love the Endorphin Speeds.

My run streak almost ended at day 100. That was an ugly mile today to get to 101 after 21 miles yesterday.

Hit the door at 5 am to get one more 20+ miler before the marathon May 1st. Race day is fast approaching and I'm going to be as ready as I can be.

One of my daughters had soccer practice so I ran every street in the neighborhood around the school.

Wrapped up March with my first ever 150 mile month! I'm over 410 miles on the year already and with race day a month away I'll be close to my 2021 mileage by the time the marathon hits if things keep going well. Just a few more hard weeks of work and the Lincoln Marathon will be here before we know it. The best part is with your help I've raised over $1,000 for to fight pancreatic cancer and there's still time to push this even further. I would love to hit a new record this year for my fundraising. If interested donate $5-10 to the link in my bio or venmo me and I'll get it entered. Thanks for the support!

Great morning for 18 miles. Went all out purple to remind myself why I'm marathon training today. Will you click the link in my bio and donate $5-10 and help push me over the $1,000 mark before April?
