Kevin Pulley is a husband, father of five and sub-3 marathoner who has figured out how to make the hard things work for his life instead of against it.

He goes to sleep when his four-year-old twins go to sleep. Up before his whole house every morning. Miles done before anyone needs him. No excuses. No complaints. Just the work.
