Six years ago today, I received the motivation I needed to make some changes in my life.

On the way home from the hospital with this little guy I knew I wanted to make some changes. This was the best time to take action. I wanted to be the best example I could of how to live your life. Still aiming for that and missing a lot! But I am trying! I have made some major changes and dropped some serious weight in the last six years. Six years ago I was a couch dweller and I am very thankful for the changes that I made. I needed the motivation and this little guy gave it to me. Every marathon, ultra-marathon and race that I run I do so because of my two boys. At the beginning, middle and end of my races my thoughts always to go my boys for giving me the motivation and my wife for knowing how much I need to run. Thanks boys! I needed just a little push. Happy Birthday!
