The Route 66 Half Marathon Ruck on Sunday was a fun experience, and I'm so proud of my fellow ruckers for Rucking the Route! 40 total finished the Half Marathon and 3 total finished the Full Marathon with 1 capturing the Ultra option! Well done, y'all!!! Unfortunately, I had to drop at 8.13 miles at 41st & Riverside due to serious and escalating pain in both feet. When I can't help but limp, it's time to call it to protect other joints and muscles. My mileage has been decreasing steadily, and 8 seems to be the current tollerable level. But no worries! Still had a great time, and looking forward to a mere 5k in an environment that doesn't seem to impact my feet: STAIRS!! The Tulsa Oiler's Arena Challenge is up next on February 5th!! Ruck up! #RT66Run #RT66Ruck #RockTheRoute #RuckTheRoute #RT66RunAmbassador #RT66RuckAmbassador #rt66ambassador #GORUCK #enigmamachinetulsa #GreenCountryRuckers #RWBRucking #fitover50 #silverbeard #oldmanstrength #beingweakisdangerous #nuunbassador #nuunlife #StayHydrated #charitychallenges #KeepTraining #embracethesuck #rememberthefallen #thankfulforsomuch https://route66marathon.com/ambassadors/michael-welborn/ https://ourtribe.nuunlife.com/athletes/379/ (at Tulsa, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWlfZ7OLNQd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Route 66 Marathon The 1st Mile Training 5k Ruck is in the books! Fun time with fellow ruckers stepping off from River West Festival Park and making the loop.

Registration is open for the FREE "Virtual First Mile" training event, sponsored by Fleet Feet Sports Tulsa. This officially kicks off the training season for the upcoming 2020 Williams Route 66 Marathon. Between July 6 – 11, you'll ruck, run, or walk your first official training miles of the season no matter where you live. And best of all, it’s free! 1 Mile and 5k (3.1 miles) options are available. Link is in my profile! Your FREE registration includes a printable bib, printable finisher’s certificate, and access to our official Route 66 Marathon playlist that will make you feel like you’re pounding the pavement in Tulsa along with the Route 66 Marathon training crew. Once you’ve completed your miles, share a photo using the hashtags #RT66FirstMile #RT66Run or #RT66Ruck (or both!) and tell your crew how your ruck, run or walk went. Personally, I'm registered to ruck this virtual event at the 5k (3.1 miles) level with a 20 pound steel plate in my GORUCK ruck sack. If my injured knee were doing better, I'd up the weight to 30# or more, but it is what it is for now. #RT66Run #RT66Ruck #RockTheRoute #RuckTheRoute #RT66RunAmbassador #RT66RuckAmbassador #RunTulsa #RuckTulsa #GreenCountryRuckers #TeamRWB #TeamRWBTulsa Follow my own training and successes and failures (lessons learned) at https://linktr.ee/enigma.machine.tulsa (at Tulsa, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHOmaxHGTn/?igshid=3p9c6e59xm3n

I know it's been all of 5 minutes since I proudly announced my ambassadorship to the Route 66 Marathon race in November 2020, but the next price increase is fast approaching on Monday and I want you all to take advantage of my personal discount and current price. Last year, the race weekend was SO much fun for myself, my ruck crew, ruckers from all over the state and region, and all of our running friends (😲 yes, ruckers & runners DO associate with each other. In fact, some ruckers ARE also runners! LOL). 🇺🇸 https://route66marathon.com/ruck-the-route/ On June 1st, the price goes UP! Use code "2020WELBORN" for $10 off the Full, Half and Double races as a rucker OR a runner! 🇺🇸 https://route66marathon.com Links also in profile. Ruckers, select "Rucking" from the Participation Option on the registration page. GORUCK will be providing custom "GORUCK Ruck 66 Marathon" patches in addition to all the awesome swag provided by the Route 66 Marathon race committee! The patch design can be seen below! Personally, this past December I registered for the 5k & Half Marathon Ruck and I don't regret it at all! I'm still very excited and looking forward to rucking the route again in 2020, even if I have to wear a mask to comply!!! Hopefully, we won't have to by November, but I'm willing to protect my fellow citizens, ruckers, runners and friends. #RT66Run #RT66Ruck #RockTheRoute #RuckTheRoute #RT66RunAmbassador #RT66RuckAmbassador #RunTulsa #RuckTulsa #GreenCountryRuckers #TeamRWB #TeamRWBTulsa #keeptraining #RWBRucking #GORUCKmasters #fitover50 #silverbeard #embracethesuck #enigmamachinetulsa #oldmanstrength #beingweakisdangerous #vetusbellator #nuunambassador #StayHydrated #nuunlife #1stPhorm #legionofboom #thankfulforsomuch #charitychallenges #teamnuun Full Disclosure: I am participating in the Route 66 Marathon Ambassadors program & have been provided with a free entry and VIP package in exchange for my honest opinions about the race.

Proud and pleased to announce that I have been selected as a @route66marathon Amabassador for the 2020 race season! https://route66marathon.com/ambassadors/michael-welborn/ In the 2019 Route 66 Marathon, I rucked a 14.5-minute mile on the second leg of the Marathon Relay as part of a ruck crew. Being part of the Route 66 Marathon weekend was electric, and definitely one of the highlights of my ruck-athlete journey. Look for a 2019 race recap in coming days on all my social media outlets. Price increase June 1st for the Tulsa Oklahoma race weekend, November 21-22, 2020.
