Pretty sure there is no greater joy in a runner’s life than coming home from work to a fresh pair of kicks sitting on their doorstep #brooks #runhappy #glycerin15

He’s not quite a candid as I’d like, in fact I was hoping that he wouldn’t catch me...but he did, he always does...as I do. That’s when you know you have something, when you can sense one another from a mile away. (at Two Tides Brewing Company)

I don’t always watch the super bowl, but when I do it’s on a trainer...just to make it interesting we picked up the pace for the duration of every play.

You can do anything but not everything.

2016: Do all the things

2017: Do a lot of the things

2018: Do only the things that matter

I have this kind of outlandish goal for 2018. 6 months ago when I moved in with Ed we had a few heart to heart talks about finances. Ed and I live on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to our approaches to finances. Ed has a background in finance so you can probably guess what his approach is...and by deduction you can probably figure out mine. Over the next few months I began taking a much harder look at my financial health. Assimilating it in physical health terms I’ve got one foot in the grave...it was pretty bad. That being said I’ve worked hard to get things back in order and to start taking steps towards dealing with my debt. I even managed to pay down over $12k in debt the last 5 months of 2017. My goal for 2018...pay off the rest of it, all $30k + of it. Outlandish? Well I’ve never been one to set small goals so what the hell, let’s go for it.

One major realization that I’ve come to in order to accomplish this goal is that of the need to focus. You can do anything, but not everything. For the past couple years I’ve tried to do everything and it’s gotten me nowhere other than further in debt, worn out and physically broken.

Tomorrow I will start PRP therapy for my ankle which has arthritis. It’ll be a long healing process but with any luck I’ll be back in shape by late spring. Now, recovering from an injury and getting back into training for 2 half irons and an ultra Ragnar all while working towards paying down debt and exceeding my sales goals might not seem like pulling back but in comparison to past years it’s about as streamlined as I get.

So here’s to a year of focus, progress and exceeding limits!

Love that we can be 100s of miles away from home and still find a group to run with...5.5 miles with Roanoke Valley Trail Runners

Happy Hour(s) Leesburg Style #aboutlastnight

A halfie and a halfie and together we make a whole...Hains Point 100. 50ish miles each on a 3 mile loop on a cold morning...and there’s no one else that I’d rather share it with. (at Hains Point Bike Loop)

Pandora Deftones Radio + a newly installed Sound Bar in the #paincave = 2 more miles than planned and a not so aerobic paced run. #thedeftonesmademedoit #newwinteraddiction #iwillbeinthebasement
