In 2013, people said, "you can't #run 681 #miles in 26 days..." I did. In 2014, people said, "you can't #trek 300 miles in less than five days..." I did. People are going to say, "you can't run 24 hours on a #treadmill..." My response: watch me. "I am thankful to all those who said no. It's because of them, I did it myself." #WayneDyer Join me and an #army of #supporters April 18th as I begin a 24 hour treadmill run to support Brady Tiso and his family. We are sending young Brady, a seven year old fighting brain cancer, to LEGO Land California. #legoland #california #braincancer #childhoodcancer #cancersucks #cancer #livestrong #nike #nikerunning #neverstop

If you knew a family with a #child who had #cancer, and you had the opportunity to put a #smile on that kids face so he could forget about being #sick, just for a little while, what would you do? I'm preparing to set out on another #epic #trek to help put a smile on one of those faces, stay tuned for additional information. #childhoodcancer #cancersucks #neverstop #keepfighting #livestrong

While I've been working on putting my next #mission together, a few things keep #running through my head: Imagine you're a #parent and your child's been #diagnosed with terminal #cancer. You're given a timeline and suddenly it hits you, like a ton of bricks: your #child is never going to see or experience those things that every child is supposed to. They're never going to get married. They're never going to get to have children. They're not going to grow old. The clock is ticking, and time is running out. What would you do? I've said it time and time again... I've been #blessed with the gift of running, and if I can help one of those families, even if it's just a little bit, then it's my job to give 100% to see that I do everything in my power to make things just a little better... even if it's just for a little while. "The ones who always stick with you are #kids. There's nothing like seeing a kid with cancer, visibly with cancer, and at the same time, there's nothing like seeing the parents of a child with cancer. So, while I've been that patient, now I'm a parent and I can't imagine being that mom or that dad in that #hospital room, looking down on a five year old that's weak, that doesn't want to eat." - #LanceArmstrong

Got in a quick six #miles this morning through #GreenValley - couldn't ask for better #weather, which was evident by everyone in Green Valley being on the #trail. Have a great Saturday and be sure to get out and #seizetheday! #Nike #NikePlus #NikeRunning #Livestrong #NeverStop #Oakley

Have you ever stared at the person you see in the mirror and wondered how you got to where you are? There’s all the #sacrifice, all the hard work to #achieve the good #life and then all of a sudden you wonder why. We all go through periods of #reflection to confront bits of us we had previously ignored. A busy life can hinder us from reacquainting #ourselves with who we really are. We live in an ever changing #world. New #technologies and #inventions constantly assault our senses and #challenge the very notion of who we are. Its important in life to take a step back, figure out where you've been, where you're going, and where you want to be.
