I’m going back “home” to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving and going to get to run the Run For The Diamonds on Thanksgiving morning. It’s a 9 mile race and one of the oldest races in the country. #runchat

A3) I like to run a Ragnar every year but like to do a different one each year. In 2026 we’re planning to do the new one in Clearwater Fl

Let’s just say there have been a couple of times where I’ve finished a run with one fewer article of clothing then I started with. 😬 when you’ve got to go, you’ve GOT to go!

A7) mind over matter. I just keep telling myself that although my head is telling me to quit, I know for a fact that my body can absolutely keep going and going and going #runchat

Not sure yet. I just crossed 500…so I’m on pace to do 650 for sure. If I want to do a stretch goal I could probably target 700. I’ve been doing almost 20/week lately so I could probably target 700.

A3) I love different aspects of every season. Fall is just amazing because of the cool weather and color. Winter is great because of our famous heated sidewalks in holland. Spring because you get to see flowers emerging and don’t need as many layers. And summer…because it’s summer. #runchat

A2) stress fracture in my fibula. I’ve talked about this one before. It was a real bugger that gave me problems for years. Overcoming it just took lots of time and learning to know how to listen to my body when my bones get cranky and unhappy. #runchat

To do 1,000 miles in a year. I’ve been doing almost 20 miles a week all summer so it’s definitely achievable. But I’ve never made it a priority and never really come close. #runchat

In 2015 I was ramping up miles too quick in the spring and ended up with a stress fracture. It’s caused me lingering issues for years. I wish I would have recognized what was going on before it got to that point and just shut things down or at least dialed back #runchat
