2020 has been a year very similar to a marathon…or maybe many marathons…to say the very least. One thing this year has done is given each of us a little more time to reflect and internalize our thoughts. For me, 2020 made me realize that I want to share the ups and downs, the lessons learned and the questions asked in the marathon training and racing process. When I was in college, I remember reading Brian Sell’s training logs (that guy was the definition of hard, consistent work that resulted in an Olympic team). I remember reading every interview that was online and every book ever written about elite running that I could find. I’m pretty sure I read Running with the Legends half a dozen times and idolized guys like Bill Rodgers or Steve Jones (who has now been my coach for over 8 years).
I always appreciated the athletes that shared not only successes, but also the failures and the times in between. Social media can be a really positive outlet to share that journey, but it can also be limiting on sharing some of the bigger lessons learned. With the help of my amazing wife Kristin, I now have a website and blog that I plan to write fairly regular updates where I hope you follow my journey, draw some inspiration from it and help you achieve your goals. I may have been humbled in my last few marathons, but I’m learning, growing and excited for sharing the journey to the next marathon with you all.
