So, I’ve been out of contact on the blog for a while…can I blame it on the weather? Life has been crazy the past few months, with so much going on at Operation Welcome Home, traveling to speaking engagements, and being involved in the community on so many veteran efforts. I wouldn’t trade any of it, but I am looking forward to just getting out and racing the next few weekends.
This weekend kicks off 3 straight weekends of racing, with the Gristmill Grinder 1/2 marathon at Babcock State Park. I’ve run this race a few times, and absolutely love this course. Beautiful area, amazing overlooks int he mountains, and a great RD with Donnie Hudspeth and his support team,s. It is always a special event, and one that continues to grow in popularity. It sold out in record time this year, so it should be a very competitive and lively crowd.
Next weekend is my first ultra since the Frozen Sasquatch 50K in January, but this one will be a doozy. It is actually just a marathon distance at the Blue Ridge Foot Levelers Marathon in Roanoke VA, but I am running with a group of people doing a double. We’ll step off around 2AM Saturday morning, running the course, then at 730AM, turn around and run with the normal race field. The true challenge? This is labeled as America’s Toughest Road Marathon, with 7,400 feet in elevation change over the 26.2 miles…so almost 15,000 feet of elevation change for the 53+ miles. It will be a true test.
The weekend after that, I head to Michigan for the Kalamazoo Borgess Run Marathon. I actually was the first entrant from WV for the race, so I gained a free entry plus some other swag for being the first one in. I’m looking forward to that one, as I’ve never ran in Michigan before, and I hear it’s a great race.
I’ll be posting a lot more here, so enjoy the ride…a lot of things happening in the next few months. If you have an opportunity for me to come speak to your business or organization, please feel free to reach out to me. I’d be honored to share our story and inspire those in attendance to Make An Impact!

At the young age of 39, I took on the greatest challenge of my life, an effort that pushed me both mentally and physically like I had never been challenged before. I completed a 3452 mile 100 day run across America, capped off with a 100 mile finish from Annapolis MD to Rehoboth Beach DE in under 24 hours, all to raise awareness and money in support of the men and women I consider my heroes, those that have worn and now wear the US Military’s uniform.
My book, “Freedom Run”, was released in April of 2013, detailing my journey to honor those who have bravely served, and describes the life-changing events of my run across America. MORE>
