What a great day. Hands down the best 13.1 miles of scenery I’ve ever seen. It’s Marine Corp Marathon weekend, so I shared the road with quite a few runners that decided to do it anyway. We can all find excuses why not to do something. The question is, are you mentally strong enough to push the excuses to the side and get it done no matter the circumstance? I say we all have it in us, we just need to locate it. A special thank you to This day would not have happened without her. Also had the company of a new athlete Thank you!!! 🇺🇸

Numbers 19&20 are in the books. Actually shaved some time off my run today 😳 🏃🏼! Time to reset the clock for two weeks from today! Thank you to everyone that came out to support! #🇺🇸
Well here we go! #2 in two days, and #20 in my challenge. Thank you to everyone that reached out yesterday. Time to go get after it!
#19 is in the books! Time to shower, eat, ice, rest and then do it all over again tomorrow morning! Thanks for all the messages while I was out there. Special thanks to for coming out and keeping me company on the “run”.
I can remember exactly where I was when I heard about our country being attacked. 19 years later i’m still committed to not only never forget but to continue to honor those that perished that day as well as those that sacrificed mind and body on the battlefields preserving our freedoms! Let’s stand together today and acknowledge we have more that join us then separate. Wish me luck as I attempt to complete back to back 70.3 Triathlons today and tomorrow.

To commemorate and pay tribute to the men and women that have served and continue to serve post 9/11 I have decided to step it up a notch. I will be completing back-to-back 70.3’s this coming Friday and Saturday.
I’m confident that I’ve put the training in and can stay mentally strong. Now let’s just hope my 47yr old body agrees.
Please take some time this weekend to reflect on how our lives changed for ever on the faithful day!
We’re all living through challenging times again today. Stay focused on being positive. Be kind and respectful of one another! Think outside of yourself and we will come out on the other side stronger than ever.
Consider donating to the cause. Every dollar that’s raised will go towards training a service dog for military member living with the symptoms and effects of war!
SFC Andy McCaffrey this one is for you! #18 in my 26in52 challenge. Strength and Fierceness can sometimes be a facade for pain and suffering. Please take time out of your day to be the light for someone. A source of hope for someone that says everything will be ok! Times are difficut in the world right now, let’s be there for one another instead of highlighting the things that divide us! Be Kind! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
#17 in my challenge. Time to get after it. Having just celebrated my 47th Birthday on the 13th I’m just happy to have the physical and mental ability to keep going.
