Run from the Norm

Patti Gray-Bellan has the heart of a champion. With an impressive list of accomplishments both on and off the athletic field, she has never been afraid to push herself to the limit and see just what she is capable of achieving.

With a storied running career that includes being inducted into 3 different Halls of Fame(!), she shows no signs of slowing down as she continues to complete at the highest levels as a Masters level athlete for the Hoka Aggies running club.

But what's even more impressive is her desire to inspire others and make a difference in the world. Patti has been equally recognized for her efforts in education, choosing to embrace a life of service by giving back to the youth of a community that she loves so much. 

Humble, motivated, compassionate, and driven.. you can't help but be inspired after spending even a little bit of time with "positive" Patti Gray-Bellan.

I've known Trevor Churchman for decades, and he is one of the most kind hearted, empathic, and optimistic people I know.

Trevor is a family man, Veteran, ER nurse, and someone who absolutely loves getting outside for a great running adventure.

Oh yeah.. and he has run every single day for OVER 9 YEARS!!!

Please enjoy this extremely positive and uplifting conversation with my dude.. Trevor Churchman.

Raised just outside of Eugene, Oregon, otherwise known as Track Town, USA, Sid went from a high school JV runner to a walk on at the University of Oregon where he found his speed and ultimately a new perspective on what it means to “win” while working under legendary coach and Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist, Bill Dellinger. 🇺🇸

He took this philosophy from the track and transitioned it into a very successful professional career that ultimately led to an early retirement, giving Sid and his wife the fortunate opportunity to continue a life of service through the multiple philanthropic efforts they partner with, all while Sid continued to accumulate over 75,000 lifetime running miles!! 🏃‍♂️ 😮

Please enjoy this conversation with my good friend and mentor, Sid Sullivan.

From a world traveling adventure racer participating in the sport at the highest level, to a sponsored elite trail runner who raced all over the globe including capturing an FKT for the fastest supported woman to run the Zion Traverse, Joelle Faught ultimately came face to face with the biggest challenge of her life, a medical emergency that threatened to change it all.

Join us as we explore not only the physical and mental benefits that come from a lifetime of seeking adventure and self understanding, but also what inspires and motivates a unique individual to break free from the ordinary, and truly Run from the Norm. 

For the very FIRST episode of the Run from the Norm podcast I was fortunate enough to be joined by my good friend, successful real estate agent, accomplished ultra-runner, and all around outdoor enthusiast, Graham MacKenzie.

In this episode we talk about why Graham first found his way to running the trails, embracing a love of nature and the outdoors, his thoughts on health and longevity, and the importance of doing hard things as a gateway to continued growth and development.
