Marathon #3 on the year last Sunday! ✅

Kinda enjoying this marathon thing 😆 Ran the local and clocked a 2:47, shaving about 45 seconds off from Boston just 4 weeks ago. The race kit was on point and the fueling program was dialed thanks to .second !

Boston Marathon 2025 ✅

I’ve competed in front of +60,000 fans many times throughout my racing career, but I can pretty confidently say I’ve never seen crowds like at yesterday’s 129th annual Such a cool experience!!

Also, the fact that a 6:23 minute/mile pace for a 2:48 marathon is only good enough for 1,978th place is insane. There are some seriously fit people out there! Either way I had a blast, suffered a good bit and am stoked to check this one off the bucket list! 🙌

Our hearts are full as we had the pleasure of welcoming Raya Marie Martin into the world on September 30th! Continually amazed by the grit and resilience displays. Thanks for being a great mother and partner my love! ❤️

Running has become quite the hobby for me since retirement!

Training for marathons has helped scratch the competitive itch, and reinforced the fact that the more you put in the more you get out. It took 3,000 miles over the last year and upping my weekly mileage from 40-50 to 70-80 miles to drop 9 minutes. No instant gratification here, just consistency and patience.

This was also a good reminder that losing weight doesn’t always mean increased fitness. I managed to get faster while weighing 5 pounds more. How you might ask? I prioritized fueling/eating well for all training sessions and didn’t care about the scale. All I knew was I felt good and that my running fitness was improving. That was enough for me.

Patience is key. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is fitness. Trust the process, stay committed, and celebrate every milestone along the way. Next up ➡️ Sub 2:45! 🏃‍♂️💥
