Kicking Off The 2023 GR Marathon Training

Today was the second of the new training plan, after a quick and short baseline run yesterday, as I prepare for another this fall. I won’t be able to train much at all with the team but I’m still planning on joining them on race day. I may not be as fast as I once was but I haven’t given up on just yet.

    While Running Anything Can Happen

    This week I was pretty off on my #training but I got my long run in today since I’ve got an all day conference tomorrow. It felt good to be back out running and I even felt good about my pace, for an easy long run. I’m not sure if it was God leading me but I started thinking about Sierra Leone and the next team going and wondered if I should consider leading the team. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #HessLakeRun #SierraLeone

    Stepping Back To Step It Up

    As I keep working on getting back into a regular running routine the part that is also key is the “why” behind it.

The last mile was a bit tougher which brought my average pace down, but I was still plenty happy with how I did compared to the day before.

Running has become for me something I couldn’t even have fathomed a little more than a year ago. Running for me is apart of who I am, and the relationships I’m building are a huge part of that as well. I hope that my running and my journey can be a light of Hope in the lives of people I share it with.

    Christmas Eating Recovery Run

    Some people may not realize that I actually love food. One of my downfalls is also that I’m an emotional eater. That made the commitment to drastically change my eating habits no simple task. There were a couple of things that helped me stay the course on my journey to a healthier lifestyle. The first thing was that before the journey began I was diagnosed with #prediabetes, and if I didn’t make some changes I was going to have some major health issues in the future. The other piece was that my wife and I started that journey together. This made things like meal planning, and having healthy snacks on hand, a ton easier. There was a lot of holiday snacking going on this week,…
