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.

Surrounded by Shoes

A local photographer came by for some shots for an upcoming article on endurance training. Thought you might enjoy seeing some of his favorites:

Christina and I surrounded by running shoes (Brooks for me and Saucony for her).

Here we are with the boys (Chase - 11, Cruz - 9, and Dash - 7) in front of the house. With a house full of boys, Christina needs a PINK bike. 

Oh, we are always so giddy and kind to each other in the kitchen...making each other recovery shakes after a good workout (hahahahahaha). All seriousness though, CarboPro products rock!

I always imagined when I got two treadmills, that my bride and I would run many miles side by side in the basement workout room. But alas, this staged shot from last night is the only time this has happened :-). (And yes, I do have the entire bobble head collection from "The Office")
 

 Ever wondered what type of award you would get if you won a 200 mile trail run? A tree stub with a hammer!
