One of my biggest reasons for getting into shape was so that I could do anything my daughter's wanted to try. If they wanted to go rock climbing I could go, if they wanted to run a marathon I could go, even if they wanted to hike the Appalachian trail I could go and so far I can still do it. Im stoked that I could run right along side both of my daughter's for their first races and Im looking forward to the even bigger ones ahead. This was Julie's first race last weekend and she was killing it on a tough WV kids mile. I love seeing those girls smile while running, they're making their old dad proud .

I always love lining up with these dudes. Looking forward to hitting it hard in fayettville in a couple weeks. Im really interested to see what kind of shape I'm in for Spartan Super distances this year. They're usually just a bit too long for me, but we'll see. Im trying to put in some extra work over this summer to see where I can get too.

Pretty good start to the racing season so far. I'm feeling strong and healthy so thats awesome! We're about 2 weeks out from fayettville and Im a little nervous. That one didn't go so well last time around... Hopefully I can pull it together this year!

Usually I just pick one of my favorite trails and go how I feel, but last night I ran the @powdermountain Trail Trial Race. It felt so good to let the wheels go. This is a fun series, great vibes and even better...tacos and beer at the finish. .

Big thanks to @rj_danger and his talents with a camera. And to the cool sponsors like @amersportsoutlet @salomon and @smithoptics and #otownpepsi
Bout time to start throwing down with the boys again! Had some people drop out of a Palmetto 200 team so they invited me to run that in 2 weeks. 207mi/333km relay between 6 people. It sounds harder than it really is but it will be fun one with the fellas for sure. .

Still stoked about last week's 6th place finish on saturday. It was a near flawless race for me and I was stoked to qualify for the US Spartan Race Championship on the first race of the year. I'll be hitting the WV slopes with the big dawgs again this year and I'm looking forward to it! .

I forgot to post my update for Sunday in Fayettville this past weekend... that race just does not treat me well haha. It's all good though, you need races like that sometimes. I think it's just so flat I don't have the speed to keep up yet. On top of the flat course the harder obstacles (twister and spear) were first so all the fast runners weren't even tired when they got to them. That meant your race had to be perfect (which is usually true anyway, but burpees early on kills you more than burpees a quarter mile from the finish) because very few were going to fail those early on. The carries were super flat as well so just about everyone was jogging through those and I couldn't make up time there like I usually do. So I say that to say that this one highlighted my weaknesses a lot more so than my strengths and those are the races that you learn the most from so I'll learn from it and move on. I am happy with my effort on Sunday and I feel like I did everything I could to do well at the race. My first mile was dead on 7 min (with obstacles) which is fast for me. I pushed through the whole race. I failed no obstacles and I was able to pick up a spot or two at the end of the race. Despite my efforts I still finished 11th, that's 4 fayettville races and yet to pick up a top ten there. 11th is the best I've done there though and we had 2 fast guys show up for Sunday only (both finished top 5) so Im not too upset. I'm back to training as normal. I thought about tapering for savage race this weekend, but I think I'm going to just push through the week and keep the training up for Toughest in a couple weeks. Thanks @katiesalmons for the video and cheering me on this weekend!
