A big thank you to Fleet Feet Treasure Valley Idaho for being by my side and supporting my journey. I truly can’t tell you how much I appreciate everything they’ve done for me. Their positivity, encouragement, and commitment to the Treasure Valley running community is something special.

Alex and Megan are two of the most genuine people you’ll meet. They believed in my crazy idea of running 25 marathons last year, and they’re continuing to support my Fit at 50 journey this year. That kind of support means more than they know.

If you’re a runner in the Boise area, do yourself a favor and stop by the store. Go through their shoe fitting process, ask questions, and get connected with an awesome running community. You can also support them by checking out the local races they put on through Boise Running. You can use my code JUSTIN15 for a small discount to any of their races.

Thank you, Fleet Feet Treasure Valley, for everything you do for me and for our running community. I’m grateful to have you in my corner. 🙏🏃‍♂️💙

Don’t waste today trying to solve tomorrow.

Are you in a season of waiting…?

Waiting for healing… waiting for answers… waiting for restoration… waiting for results? Waiting for a job? If you are, this message is for you.

One thing God’s word has been teaching me lately is this: patience isn’t passive, it’s trusting the process.

We want to know the outcome. We want to know when it’s going to happen. We want it on our timeline.

But in Isaiah 60:22, God says, “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

That’s faith.

You can’t predict the future.
You can’t force results.

What you can do is wake up today and take the next step.

Keep doing the inner work.

Keep growing your faith.

Keep becoming the person God created you to be.

I think about it like training for a marathon. You don’t become a marathoner because of one workout. You become one because of hundreds of ordinary days where you keep showing up.

Life is the same way.

Don’t overwhelm yourself by thinking about the next 23 miles.

Just run this mile well.

Trust this step.

Be faithful today.

And let God take care of tomorrow.

So today, this is my prayer...

God, give us patience when we feel like giving up.

Give us Peace when we may feel anxious.

Give us Strength to keep moving forward.

Give us Faith in You to believe that even when we can’t see it, You are still working.

Let us focus on taking one step at a time.

God’s timing is always worth trusting.

Amen. 🙏🏼

Give it up to Koa on his distance and pace PR!
Not bad for a 2 1/2 year-old pup!

Dear God,

For anyone carrying a heavy burden today, we come to You.

Some of us are hurting. Some of us are anxious. Some of us are grieving. Some of us are simply exhausted. God, You already know what we’re carrying before we even put it into words.

Today, help us come back to this moment.

Help us not spend our energy trying to solve tomorrow while missing the blessings You’ve placed right in front of us today. Give us the wisdom to take one step at a time, one prayer at a time, and one day at a time.

God, help us surrender what we cannot control. The future belongs to You. Let us trust that You are doing work that we cannot yet see.

Instead, help us stay focused on the work You are doing inside of us.

Give us the courage to keep moving forward even when we don’t know where the road leads. Teach us to find gratitude even in hardship, because sometimes our greatest struggles become the very things that transform us into who You created us to be.

For anyone feeling overwhelmed today, replace anxiety with peace.

For anyone feeling discouraged, replace fear with hope.

For anyone feeling alone, remind them that You are with them always.

Today, we choose to keep going.

And we choose to trust that You are writing a story far greater than we can understand today.

Thank You for another day of life.

Thank You for another opportunity to grow.

Thank You for never leaving us.

Amen. 🙏🏼

Wednesday morning trail run ✅

Running does not remove the struggle, but it always puts me in a better perspective to move through it.

It’s not just about fitness or performance. It’s about clearing my mind, strengthening my spirit, and reconnecting with God.

One step at a time.

Thank You, Lord, for giving me the ability to run. 🙏🏼✌🏼
