As Christians we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. If you are anything like me, this is an extremely difficult thing to do. There just never seems to be a good time to broach the subject. To be honest, I am afraid of the awkwardness this discussion might cause.

Running has torn down the awkwardness and created a platform for me to talk freely about my faith. It is my hope that these stories will help draw you closer to our creator – through whom we all have the strength to move mountains.

God has given me a body built for endurance. Over the years, I have run a few races and met many wonderful and interesting people. These posts contain my stories. You do not need to be a runner to relate to these events. We are all running the race of life. We all have our peaks and valleys that we have to climb and descend.

McNaughton 200 Mile Trail Run Finish Line Photo & Race Splits

The photo above was taken seconds before my finish at the 2011 McNaughton 200 Mile Trail Run after running nearly 52 hours. The race started at 6 PM on Thursday evening and finished a little before 10 PM Saturday night. This finish time was approximately 10 hours better than my winning time last year.

For those that were there and were following along via Twitter, I hope you know that I am not that strong - it was the strength of Jesus Christ working through me. We can do all things through Christ that gives us strength.


There were officially 14 runners signed up for the event but only 7 started. My crew was truly amazing and I'm not sure I could have covered 50 miles without their help. I will put together a race recap later, but wanted to get the "official" times out there.


The following are the lap splits (10 miles) for both Johnny and myself:
It was an honor to have again been a part of something so amazing.
