Ordinary Marathoner

After identifying my love/hate relationship for social media and calling it a “necessary evil” on yesterday’s podcast, we had a great day on the boards yesterday. We shared some good stories, saw some incredible pictures of the sky in Salt Lake City, posted some impressive workouts and even had some productive conversations on important matters … Continue reading "Podcast #233 – Ordinary Daily, June 7, 2019"

Thank you to everyone for your positive response on the Ordinary Marathon Recap video. It has quickly become one of the most-watched videos on our channel, meaning you guys have been sharing it around so THANKS! Early registration for 2020 is also off to a great start and we can’t wait for the Ascension Multisport … Continue reading "Podcast #232 – Ordinary Daily, June 6, 2019"

On the heels of a great Ironman workout day, the 2019 Ordinary Marathon slideshow video is now out, and we are opening registration for next year’s race already! Thanks to Nick from Ascension Multisport, who is giving away a Garmin vivoactiv-3 to one lucky registrant, to be drawn on June 23rd!

A little late today… I had lots going on, including my self-reflection on an Eric Thomas video I saw. One for Ben Hinton’s collection – Think: Where can I serve? If you can’t serve, then Observe… until you can serve.

Look out for the Ascension Multisport Garmin Giveaway coming this week with early registration for the 2020 Ordinary Marathon opening soon! Hope you all had good training weekends. I spent my time indoors (by choice) and had a pretty solid workout weekend, though I need to extend my bike rides in the coming weeks.

A late start to the day here, welcoming Stefany back from her recent work trip to NYC. Basically we talk like an old married couple for a half hour.

I’m a very superstitious person and I feel like I’m being hit with a wave of bad luck lately… fender benders, car inspection issues, trips to the RMV, calls from local police (even if they’re friendly), the hitch on my car being delayed, ATM’s telling me to alert my financial institution for no reason at … Continue reading "Podcast #227 – Ordinary Daily, May 30, 2019"

60 days left until my Ironman Lake Placid #RedemptionRace. I’m wondering if I’m ready this year… some days I feel like I’m ready, some days I feel like I’m not. In the coming 60 days, I hope to alleviate as much of that indecisiveness as possible.

Imagine shelling out $30,000 – $50,000 to climb Mt. Everest, and having to wait on a long single-file line before reaching the summit. Upon cresting the highest point on Earth, you snap a picture and then are told to move along because there are hundreds of people in line behind you! Don’t laugh… it’s happening. … Continue reading "Podcast #225 – Ordinary Daily, May 28, 2019"

Happy Memorial Day to all of you… yes, I’m putting out a Daily Podcast today. Going to review my strange training weekend – a run I’m going to deem a success although maybe it wasn’t, and a near-50 mile bike ride that was an overall success, too. Feeling good with 62 days left until Ironman … Continue reading "Podcast #224 – Ordinary Daily, May 27, 2019"
