Today I talk about how everyone in 2019 tells us how we SHOULD live our lives. We know ourselves best, I preach that you should live your life how you want to live it. Showing up when I haven’t felt like it has helped me in my life. Maybe it will help you in yours as well. Day 153| over 2150 miles from Friona, TEXAS.

I talk about how it feels to be over 2000 miles on my run, how important it is for me to be in the moment out here, and also how to embrace every opportunity with perspective.

Today I’m in Sayre, Oklahoma getting ready to run on Day 141! I’m over 1940 miles and my dad is currently out here with me helping out for the weekend. Nate had a cousins wedding to go to so he will be getting back later tonight. Been a great visit with my dad that I will cherish forever. I talk about picking and choosing our battles. (Hint we don’t get to choose) ;)

I talk about criticism and how sometimes being critical of someone can actually be the wrong move. No one has it all figured out, remember that :)

Have you ever fought with someone just to find out you were both assuming things that weren’t true? Anyways, I share a similar story from my life out on the road and talk about how things have been lately. Hope you like it!

I got bit by a dog yesterday on my run. Listen to hear how I was able to overcome this and keep going!!! Don’t complain about the things you can’t or aren’t willing to change. ❤️

Before the light comes the dawn. Just cause it’s hard doesn’t mean you can’t handle it. Keep fighting and keep going, that’s what I’ve done out here & will continue to do

Hello from Arkansas! Just ran into my 9th state today. My Achilles’ tendon was flaring up so I decided to walk for a little bit. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break. I’ve learned that this week after my big run (27.4 miles) and then two days later having a day off. The rest and recovery helped me come back so much stronger and yesterday I crushed 20 miles. Life is a marathon, we can’t be sprinting the whole time!

I think all of the most successful people in the world share one same quality: they don’t stop. We all have obstacles that try to stop us from where we are going. Are you going to let one no, or one heartbreak, or one failure get in your way? Or are you going to keep moving? We all have limited time here, let’s make the most of it!

August 25, 2018. That’s the day I joined a run club in Los Angeles. I could barely and I mean barely run the 3 miles on that first day. I was out of shape and doubting myself more than ever. I will always remember where I came from and you should too. You are a badass. You are still here fighting every day, keep going!
