The interactive image, above, is a Thinglink. Through pictures, I've attempted to capture some of my running highlights from the past three to four years.
Family. Of the 16 photos, my wife and kids are in seven of them. I wouldn't describe any one else in my family as a runner (at least not yet...). Nonetheless, I love having them there when I race. When my kids were smaller, I loved pushing them in the jogging stroller during races. Modeling the lifestyle and mindset of a runner, for my children, is a priority for me.
Travel. These 16 photos were captured in six different states - Iowa, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. I love to travel, and I love to travel to new places. While traveling, I love running to explore. I'm working on a goal to run a half-marathon in half of the United States; as of now, I've run 12 half-marathons in seven different states. These destination races make for great long weekend trips with my family.
School. This my third year as principal at Van Allen Elementary. Two of the accomplishments that I'm most proud of are our Recess Running Club and #WorkoutWednesdays (in fact, a post specific to this is probably warranted in the near future). While I can't and won't take credit for these initiatives, I am willing to say that I've made efforts to support, promote, and participate. Again, modeling this commitment to a healthy lifestyle, for our students, is a priority for me.
Until next time, I'll close, again, with a shameless plug to my fundraising page (linked); I encourage you to visit, and (if you are able) donate. Thank you.
