 “Since activity is my number one self-care strategy, my life simply isn’t the same without it. Activity not only keeps my mind and body healthy, it also allows me to connect with friends and indulge my competitive side. I have a great group of friends that I train with, who help hold me accountable to training and keep me motivated to continue improving. I also routinely sign up for various races which helps to keep me motivated to get out there every morning.”

I love to win. I am blessed to have the opportunity to use my God given talents and passions to glorify Him. "I love to jump, spin, perform, and compete. I love the feeling when you glide. I love my friends and coach."   "Running has been a way for me to get out and stay active while staying healthy. I also realized very quickly that I was a fast runner for my age group. Since I’m a competitive person, I always try to win my age group, or at least place in the top 3.

"This middle aged guy, who just ran a huge distance, who had just woken something inside himself, something that was fierce and tough and wanting to win.This guy would soon be making a return to athletics.

Now I experienced proper competition [in sport] and everything that came with it and I loved it."  |
