New Month

I love turning the calendar over to a new month.

I know the same problems, frustrations and joys from last month carry over but for me it is symbolic that despite whatever happened last week, last month or last year... Today is a fresh start an another chance to do the hard stuff.

So this month puts me less than three months out until I run the US Marine Corps Marathon. This has been something I have wanted to run for a while now and glad I get to do as a Charity Runner for Team RWB. If you would like to help me accomplish my goal and run with Team RWB as a charity runner, please click here. As a US Marine Veteran and a charter captain for Team RWB, this is going to be an exciting opportunity.

As for training for my 50 mile race in San Francisco in December. I have pushed myself in many ways throughout the month of July. I have ran further and faster than I have had in a very long time. I have learned how to eat healthier, how to fight boredom and push through fatigue. This is definitely up there as one of the hardest things I have done. But... I have a long journey ahead of me.

I am grateful for all the encouragement my coach, Liza Howard, has provided me. I am grateful to Scott Jones for giving me this opportunity. I am very grateful to the social media world who has cheered me on while I train.

I have learned recently that it takes a team to accomplish the hard stuff. I am very grateful to have you all on this journey with me.

Now... On to a new month of adventures, trails, errors and much more.
