One of the wildest parts of sobriety is realizing the “new you” isn’t actually new at all.

It’s the real you.
The one who’s been there all along.
Sobriety doesn’t give you a different identity.

It helps you reconnect with the one you lost track of.

Often the question arises as to the why behind my love for ultras. Over the years, the reasons have morphed; however, one reason has remained constant: community. Ultra running has a way of bringing together strangers and entangling their paths indefinitely.

My path crossed with @kerri_2.0 through a simple follow on IG back in 2024. Later on, Kerri announced she would be doing @cocodona250. I commented on her post saying if she needed pacers to reach out! She took me up on my offer and I am beyond grateful she did.

We started out the week practically strangers but are leaving as life long friends. The miles we shared along those dusty and rocky trails will forever bond us.

Kerri, know that I was inspired by your tenacious spirit, grit, joy, authenticity, passion, strength and love. Sharing the miles we did along this stunningly, rugged course was a privilege. Whether conversation flowed or silence radiated, I was continually amazed by you.

Though the finish line wasn’t crossed, due to circumstances beyond your control, what you did accomplish was no small feat. Disappointment for an unachieved goal I’m sure will linger, but I hope that it will not take away from the incredible achievement you did fulfill.

I am honored to have been on the front row of something spectacular. Know that I am leaving this week forever changed for the better. Love you Kerri. ❤️

I know these last few days didn’t turn out the way you envisioned them but I still got to stand next to you and more importantly, witness you be the badass warrior that you are. Love you @kerri_2.0! Onward 💜💜💜.

Front row seat to grit, courage, and relentless forward motion at the @cocodona250 by my girl @kerri_2.0 🔥🔥 The human spirit is a wild thing to witness. Such an honor to pace her for 21 miles of this race. Who knows, maybe she inspired me to race it next year? ✨

P.S. Arizona is BEAUTIFUL

Last weekend was a dream come true.

Years ago, I went to an in-person event that changed my life.

In fact, that event was the first day I started my journey of sobriety from stimulants and alcohol.

And ever since that event, I’ve been changed for the better.

Fast forward to last weekend: where our goal of putting on Desert Peak Ultra was to create an incredible experience for our runners, so that they can walk away with memories that remind them of the enduring person they really are.

And the result?

Emotional moments at the finish line, pure grit shown climbing up the steep Mt Lemmon, strong finishes that showed human resiliency at its finest, and people getting to meet others who are chasing the fullness of human potential, just like them.

And from that? We hope we created that same massively positive weekend that changed my life many years ago.

Because to me, ultras are more than just races. They are core memories that remind us of who we are. They’re places where we realize there are others like us. And they are trials that make us stronger, for life.

That’s why even though last weekend, putting on this race, was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done, it was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.

And I hope the runners can say the same thing.

I can’t wait to keep putting this race on for years to come, and to make it better and better.

Huge and massive thank you to every runner, every volunteer, our Race Director Shelby, our content manager Christian, the Everyday Ultra team, our sponsors, Hay Creek Ranch, my wife, and everyone who made this event possible. It takes a big team, and I’m so grateful for you all for making this possible.

Desert Peak 2027 registration is opening soon. The classic 100K and 50K courses. And a new race added to the weekend.

Will we see you there next year?

“Desert Peak was Gnarly! “
That’s what I heard from all the runners out there but everyone LOVED every minute of it!

Seriously such an amazing race and experience!

We sign up for these ultras to push ourselves and see what we are made of.. I think this race did that for everyone out there! 🫶🏼

Huge shoutout to @joecorcione @shelbyheinz_ for putting on an amazing race! @desertpeakultra

And another shout out to @cbrink_ @christian.carlsonn @lizzy_fowler_ @andrew.vs.running @the.runningtherapist for being an amazing team and being at the race 🫶🏼 all the help went way beyond words can express. Not to mention all the volunteers and everyone who helped!

And a HUGE shoutout to all the runners and the @theeverydayultra team who did the damn thing!

🔨Dynamic mobility meaning we're not having to do super long holds, but we're just taking our muscles and joints through movement till we get a good end range stretch and repeating 8-10 reps.

This helps to relax the muscles decrease as much muscle soreness and allow adequate mobility that we need for running.

If you're a runner, make sure you have a simple, targeted strength routine that challenges you with weight and make sure you got a little dynamic mobility routine the targets tight spots so that you keep adequate mobility.

If you have a race or a running goal that you would like to build towards or work to reach out, we'd love to help you hit those goals and power you to know exactly what things to do to get there.

What an honor is was to be crew chief for my running bestie @kerri_2.0 . I have never seen so much courage, determination and strength from her. She struggled hard the last 3 loops (60 miles) with severe stomach issues, heat exhaustion and back pain but did not quit. I am so incredibly proud and inspired by her! 🫶🏻💙
Also was able to crew a good friend @beultra_warrior in her first 100 mile race and she finished with a buckle as well! Shared a crew tent with my trail wife @lexi_corcione33 and she finished strong too!
Grateful for @socalisteph for helping crew and Kerri’s pacers @clumsyfeet and @kristinunleashed who encouraged her the last two loops. We made a great team!
Javelina is always a fun party and this year I was able to see all the fun shenanigans and meet some of my favorite and inspiring athletes @runtoughmindset , @hjacksonracing Arlen Glick and of course spend 30 hours with @joecorcione in the @theeverydayultra tent since I didn’t run it this year. Although we were up for over 36 hours, we still had lots of laughs, some tears and an overall epic weekend!
