The results will show 19:10 and 1st place. They won't show the people who made it happen.

My wife holding down our world at home and perpetually calming my soul. My kids reminding me why I do this. The boys who showed up, kept me moving, and carried me through the night when the miles got heavy.

I still had to cover every mile. But I never had to carry it alone. And that's a lesson bigger than ultrarunning.

We put so much emphasis on individual achievement that we forget how much of what we accomplish is made possible by the people around us.

I'm proud of the result. But I'm way more proud of the life behind it and the people in my corner.

A marriage worth investing in. Four kids watching my every move. Friends who show up. A family that makes room for big goals without becoming the price I pay for them.

This earned buckle and horse trophy serve as a nice reminder of what the body can do. But the people in this photo are a reminder of what makes it possible.

...

This one was for you, Ash. You know we got this.

This is the norm now. Adventures unlimited. Kids outside. Everything in its right place. ✨️

...

Show them the pulse of nature. Show them why movement matters. Show them what it feels like to stand on a summit they earned with their own legs and might. Show them that the best views are rarely the easiest to reach. Show them how to connect. Show them how and why to gaze at the stars. Show them how to be good stewards. Show them how to stand in awe of a sunset and a sparrow. Show them how to fuel and take care of their bodies, minds and souls.

Show them.

Headed home now from a women’s retreat my sister hosted in Sedona. Going home with a heart and cup full. (DM my sis at @feelwelldogood to get on the waitlist for her next womens retreat.)

Sedona Highlights
🌵18 hours of uninterrupted sister time during our drive. My biggest motivator to come on this trip was for time with my sis, so everything else was a bonus. 🙌🏻
🌵I met the most amazing women that came on this retreat- friendships that I want to continue even when I’m home. I think we all crave community. 🫶🏻
🌵Hiking! Cathedral Rock was my absolute fave. 😍
🌵Sedonuts😋
🌵Chapel of the Holy Cross. 🙏🏼
🌵Shopping at the cute shops in Sedona
🌵Dinner at Creekside American Bistro. Soooo delish! 😋
🌵Night time laughing and having a good time. 🤗🎉

There’s a lot of coordination and support that go into leaving town, but more times than not it is worth all the effort to make it happen and prioritize LIVING. I now have a full cup that I can pour from for my people who need me. 🙏🏼🙌🏻

THE “MY KIDS HATE HIKING” GUIDE

How to make your kids actually want to go outside again and fall in love with movement in the great outdoors:

1. BE PRESENT, NOT DESTINATION OBSESSED.
The waterfall isn't the point. The summit isn't the point. Go at their pace. Stop for the weird rock. Explore. Turn around if you need to. The goal is memories, not mileage.

2. HOLD THEM.
They get tired. Pick them up. Carry them. Sit down and give them a long hug. Some of my favorite trail memories are just holding my kids. They won't always fit in your arms.

3. MAKE IT FUN.
I Spy. Bug hunts. Critter counting. Weirdest rock contests. Rock throwing. Find something red. Make up games. The trail is the playground.

4. CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE.
Cold? Bundle up. Rain? Get wet. Puddle? Jump in it. Mud? Send it. Kids learn how to experience the outdoors by watching us. Parents set the temperature.

5. SNACKS. ALWAYS.
Water. Snacks. More snacks. Don't wait for the hangry meltdown.

6. BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES.
Someone is getting wet. Someone is getting muddy. Bring extra socks. Trust me.

7. LET THEM LEAD.
Let them pick the trail, carry the map, choose the game or decide where to explore next. Give them ownership.

8. DON'T TURN IT INTO YOUR WORKOUT.
Forget your pace. Forget your mileage. This isn't your training run. You're Dad.

9. LET THEM TAKE AGE APPROPRIATE RISKS.
Climb the rock. Cross the log. Get dirty. Let them discover, “I can do hard things.”

10. KNOW WHEN TO CALL IT.
You don't get a trophy for making your kid miserable. Turn around. Come back another day.

The goal isn't to conquer the trail.

The goal is to raise kids who want to come back.

They may not remember the waterfall.

They'll remember being carried.

Getting soaked.

Eating snacks on a rock overlooking a fire sunset.

Laughing with you.

And most importantly, how being outside and making memories with you felt.

Never really been into dinner and a movie.

Maybe we’re missing out. 🤷‍♂️

But trail dates? Undefeated.

There’s something about sending it up a mountain at sunset with your person. Doing something hard together. Laughing, suffering, encouraging each other, then standing on a summit knowing you earned it side by side.

Shared effort hits different.

Because the best part isn’t always the summit. It’s becoming a stronger team on the way there.

A vibe, if you will. ✨

Bottom line: date your spouse.

Protect the marriage. Keep choosing each other. Keep doing hard things together.

Because a strong marriage isn’t just a gift to yourselves. It’s one of the greatest things you can give your kids, too.

Define rich.

Maybe rich is slow mornings with your wife and kids.

Maybe it’s having the health and mobility to chase and wrestle your kids, climb mountains, run trails and still say yes when adventure calls.

Maybe it’s having enough freedom to travel, see new places, eat good food, make time to serve and elevate the life of others, sleep under stars and collect experiences instead of stuff.

Maybe it’s having people you love deeply and enough time with them to actually enjoy them.

Because what’s the point of building a fortune if you spend your whole life too busy, too tired or too unhealthy to enjoy it?

There’s an old DL quote that cuts to the bone of my point:

“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.”

And somewhere in between, he loses the present moment.

Money matters. Ambition matters. Building something matters.

But so does knowing when you already have something worth protecting.

Maybe being rich isn't having more.

Maybe it's needing less to feel like you have enough.

My version of rich?

Time. Health. Adventure. Family. Freedom.

And enough awareness and presence to actually be there for all of it.

Hop in, Scared Me. We’re going for a ride.

I happened upon this quote by @geralyn_brennan and it really hit me:

“You can spend your whole life waiting for a version of you who isn’t scared. Or you can bring scared you along for the ride.”

Yes!

Bring the scared version.
Bring the insecure version.
Bring the version that doesn’t feel ready.

Buckle all of them in and go anyway.

Because "a creature with absolutely no idea when it will die invented “someday.” That is some wildly confident sh*t." ~ @rewildyournerves

Maybe later, you say?
Bro. We die later.

So send it.

You can be scared AND brave.

You can be uncertain AND moving.

You can feel unready AND start now.

You can bring every imperfect version of yourself along for the ride.

Just don’t keep handing your dreams to “someday.”

...

If you’re new here, I’m a 40something y.o. husband and dad of four little kids. I’m also a busy professional. And somehow, in the margins, I make time for 100+ mile ultramarathons, hard gym sessions, and big days in the mountains (preferably involving my wife and kids). I do this not because I have more time than you or that timing is perfect. But because I stopped waiting for the perfect version of me to show up first, or for things to slow down, or to even feel ready.

Go. Now. Buckle in those fears and start moving on your dreams, signing up for that race, or embarking on that big journey towards that summit. 👊🏽

This challenging, fun, crazy, wild experience is recommend to anyone ⛰️🥾✨

Summited Mt Timpanogos this morning! Started at 3 am, hike and rock scrambled 14.7 miles to the top and back. 4,400 elevation gained on the hike and the peak with 11,572 ft elevation. I did it in 8 hrs 47 min!

I am so proud of myself at 7 months postpartum for getting out and hiking Mount Timpanogos. It was a challenging but a beautiful challenge. I love all of the grit it brought out of me and the love I found in my body and all that it can do. Not to mention the AMAZING ladies I got to have this experience with ✨🫶🏼🙏🏼

I think we owe it to our kids to fully send it.

They deserve a hero. A steady leader. A present, grounded soul who models what adulthood can look and feel like in spite of all the stress and weight of this world.

A parent who brings them into shared hobbies and family adventures. A teacher who doesn’t just instruct, but one who LIVES it.

You want them to know discipline?
Be disciplined.

You want them to be brave?
Be brave.

You want them to do hard things?
Do hard things.

You want them to be healthy?
Adopt healthy habits.

You want them to foster healthy relationships?
Foster healthy relationships.

You want them to learn and grow?
Learn and grow.

They are watching.

So give them someone worth watching.
