After we sold our Franklin home, we decided to invest some of the cash into making memories (paying off bills just seemed too boring). So we went on the hunt for the perfect starter āSprinter Vanā.
I love the hunt. Maybe itās a guy thing but I enjoyed spending hours trying to figure out just what we needed: do we need a indoor shower, a toilet, 4WD, a bed that turns into a table, a stove/cook top, etc. etc.
After months (4+) of searching, one day @ridgelinevanco posted the āRoamerā for sale. Just so happened that I caught it day 1 and we quickly made a deal work.
These guys are third generation luxury cabinet makers that happen to love music, good lighting and creating cool stuff from scratch. The lighting in our rig is money; inside and out. The sound system will blow the doors off and the mix of simplicity with elegance and attention to detail is top notch! And, if ya know my wife, sheās got a sense for making every spot look incredible so thereās a few of her wonderful touches in here too!
Weāve put 20k miles in it since February. Iāve been across the country four times, spent 40ish nights in it and made some great memories roaming our beautiful country with @teamendure2020 (Weāve still got a 3 week NE trip through the Blue Ridge mtns, Vermont, NH and Maine to go later this month!)
If youāre interested in a van absolutely look these guys up.
If you need to find more adventure in your life, mix things up or just try something new, I gotta say this might be your jam. There was a lot we were uncertain about going in (itās a small space for two adults and a large dog) but most of that just ended up being fear of the unknown.
Hereās to making memories. We only get one shot at this life!

Happy 4th Insta Anniversary @shoeculture615
Four years from idea to todayā¦
13k followers, 500 posts, thousands of pics, hundreds of satisfied clients. And this week, taking it to another level by traveling across the country to a key clientās home to clean and restore 100+ shoes over 7 days. WOW! Youāve come a long way in four short years.
To understand the significant of this milestone, you have to go back 12+ yrs to a young hustling kid scrapping to build a lawn care business one customer at a time: grit, grind, dedication and determination: Quickly, one customer turned to 40+!
The grass business wasnāt home though, it was just a proving ground. Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur: self starter, internal drive, ability to wear lots of hats, salesmanship, drive and integrity! Check, check, checkā¦.
So many valuable lessons learned too! How do you start a business? How do you grow it? How do you sell? How do you pivot? One idea runs its courseā¦right into the next idea. Cleaning and restoring Nikeās! I had no clue this was even a thing.
Over the last 4yrs, Jakeās touched almost every unique Nike out there from the $200 beaters to >$100k one of oneās or one of a small handful. Starting in a space about as big as your coat closet to a full blown shop, heās proof that making something stick isnāt magic, its commitment and conviction. From the first post and 14 ālikesā (half were his family) to now; the random people I met rocking high end Nikeās who say āI follow that guy. Heās your son?!ā Heās put himself front and center as one of the top, most trusted, restores in the world!
Hereās to you Jake! Congrats on the incredible success youāve created over the last four years. To learning, loving, balancing, struggling, digging deep, burn out and mastery! Youāve hit all the lows and the highs with grace and grit.
You are an entrepreneur extraordinaire! We are proud, encouraged and inspired by you!

There's lots to be thankful for even when times are tough if you have a long term outlook and a strong faith.
In 2014, we took a family vote and decided to move back to Franklin, TN which was "home". About 10yrs earlier, we'd been hoodwinked by people we called friends forcing us to eventually sell everything, move away from our friends and family, and costing us seven figures. To say it was a challenging time might be making light of the time.
We had lots of love in our home and a wonderful job but little cash in the bank and a credit score that made every banker turn their nose up at us like we smelled of skunk. We knew it would require just the right deal to get back into Franklin, TN. We made an offer on a wonderful little home but the sellers wanted more than what we could afford so we went our separate ways. Two failed deals for both parties later, they called us back! We scrapped every penny we could put together and closed the deal. God continued to provide even when it didn't seem possible.
It was a simple home but it was filled with love, faith and lots of growth for all of us. God knew exactly what we needed.
Fast forward eight years to last week. (There's a lot of history, lots of digging out, lots of challenge, lots of growth, lots of fun memories, lots of new friendships spanning that simple sentence.) It was time to turn the place we loved, our place of peace, the place that constantly reminded me that God will provide even when I couldn't see how... It was time to share it with another family so that we could unlock the next chapter in our married life and in our kids future. Changes like this can't be taken lightly. But change is what changes us. In order to open a new door, some times you have to close a door...even when it's to a space you cherish.
See ya later old house! We've loved you and you've loved us back. There's peace inside those walls for sure! Time to turn the page and move on to the next chapter! There's lots to be thankful for all the time! Never ever forget to be thankful.

We had the privilege to see Bono last night at the Ryman. U2 has literally marked time for us. Within one month of starting to date, we saw U2 in Birmingham, Alabama. 10/7/1992. Thirty years later and we are still hunting down a good U2 show.
To spend a couple of hours with someone so brilliant a storyteller, song writer and singer is hard to put into words. His voice and their music are the soundtrack of my life with my wife and on the run. We've seen them in NYC, Miami, Vanderbilt, Birmingham, Bridgestone, Soldier Field and Louisville. They've been in my ears on every hard race I've ever run at some point on the course.
Tonight was as good as it gets.
A bit of Bono being Bono mixed with intimate stories, beautiful harp and cello play and fantastic singing! His version of the Pavarotti song was amazing!
Like "WOW! Hoooly ssssshit! THAT was awesome!"
Most people don't know the rich history of U2 and their faith. Bono speaks about it often. Hearing them sing Amazing Grace at Vanderbilt Stadium was as good of "praise and worship" as you can get!
Long live rock! Long live U2 and Bono!

Never thought it would happenā¦. Iād long ago given up on the idea of a āsub 3 hr marathonā and certainly, in the past 15yrs, never considered it even possible to beat my #marathonpb (personal best) of 2:58 set when i was 28. I wonder how often we limit our own potential with silly thoughts like this?
About five months back, I decided to sign up for @runrevel Mt Charleston marathon and challenge the internal assumptions Iād imposed on myself. And Iām so happy I did!
When you attempt anything hard like this you know itās gonna put you deep in the pain cave. And it did! But, once I got to mile 20 I knew two things: this last 10k is gonna suck bad AND Iām gonna smoke my marathon PB! It was the best feeling!
At the line the clock said 2:54:18. At 54, Iād just smashed my best marathon time! Are you kidding me!!! Personally, I couldnāt have - no, I never have - dreamed that to be possible! Today, Iām so grateful and content (which isnāt a word I use too often.)
What about you? What limits in your personal OR professional life are you āselfā imposing? My strong encouragement to you is to go for it: push back hard against limiting beliefs! Dedicated the time. Make yourself proud. Itās the best dang feeling in the world!
@buildyourliferesume - cause I think @jesseitzler is spot on that our life resume is the most important resume!
@bostonmarathon - #BQ headed back for the 5th time!
@mcmillanrunning - thks for the great training program!
@teamendure2020 - life is about Purpose and Potential!

25 years ago, almost to the day, I set my marathon PR at the @bostonmarathon. I was 28.
I was young and completely inexperienced at the marathon distance. I raced hard. Was dead at 17 miles and limped in. It remains my only #sub3marathon finish.
This weekend, in Vegas, the goal is to break that mark at the @runrevel Mt Charleston marathon in Vegas. Age canāt ever be an excuse!
Years of running, months of hard training and lots of #cookiesinthejar make this possible!
Thanks to @mcmillanrunning for the great training plan.
Canāt wait to see how it goes!

Earlier this week, 22 people joined me at the South Rim of the #grandcanyon
Almost all of them had never attempted to push themselves as far, or for as long, as they would just hours after the top picture was taken.
6 of them made it #r2r2r (a tough 50 miles). All the rest completed their goal of #r2r
Itās amazing what can happen when you get a group of like minded, determined individuals together, focused on a singular mission.
No matter where you look online, youāll read that traveling down into the canyon is ādangerousā and āriskā is very high. In fact, on the day we hiked, 3 individuals were life flighted out of the canyon.
But, Iād challenge so are many other things we take for granted...if you arenāt trained or prepared.
With the right training and a focus on nutrition/hydration weāve had 65 successful R2R attempts and 9 R2R2R
completions. More importantly, weāve had 65 people break through personal boundaries, do what others wouldnāt dare to try and finish thinking āif I can do that, what else am I capable of!ā
Hereās to all of the people who have joined me over the last three years. Iām proud of all of them.

#graceraceanyplace Virtual 5k is this month. Donna and I just knocked it out!
Their 10th annual fund raising run was canceled due to Covid so theyāve gone virtual. Which means more people can participate. For $10 you can race. For a little bigger donation you can help feed a LOT of kids in Ohio. A quick google search will get you to the sign up page.
Really, if your looking at this... it must be your destiny!
Social media isnāt helping ya get fit or make a difference! š But it will help you feel like you made a difference if you take some action. #virtual #5k #calendarclub #29029everesting #29029

#calenderclub wrap!
Thank you @colinobrady
1200 people signed up from 18 countries. They ran, walked, biked, planked, rowed, moved as teams, etc.
Together we put in 79,641 miles. Enough miles to circle the globe three times!
52 people completed the challenge on foot. Proud to say I was one of them along with my virtual running partner @hollietrue (She was one of 12 females out of the 52).
The group was unstoppable! Never been a part of such a large group of people all pushing themselves to do something incredible. 59 people ran their first marathon in the middle of this challenge!

#calendarclub day 30
Killer day. Amazing experience all around. That orange graph is nuts. (Day 2ās 3miler is missing from the total. Itās on my strava.)
Went from a rough day 29 to an amazingly easy and very enjoyable (even oddly very emotional) final day.
1,001,000 steps this month.
471 running miles.
66hrs 22min
30 extra walking miles.
Every Calendar Club run done in one run (walked a total of 14 of 466 miles)
1:29 half marathon.
3:13 full.
4:02 50k.
Hard to put into words what an amazing experience this has been. The group chatter on WhatsApp was insanely positive too. Witnessing my mind shift from consuming worry (about the next days run) to waking up before the alarm went off ready to run was unexpected (Iād long ago given up on morning runs). Having 26 of the 30 runs go so smooth is hard to comprehend. Feeling like I could have easily knocked out 50 today at the same pace blows my mind. Feeling like my legs were thrashed one day to feeling fantastic the very next was impossible to have expected.
What preconceived expectations about challenge do you have? What prevents you from signing up for something out of your comfort zone? Itās always or logical brains (and our excuses). Man, just jump in. Win or learn. Grow either way. Inspire yourself. Dig for meaning and purpose. And, donāt let the darn couch suck the life out of you! @jesseitzler and @colinobrady looking forward to celebrating with you guys tomorrow! Thank you both.

#calendarclub day 29
Thankful this one is in the books. Long slow go today. Not sure I even thought of much other than ākeep moving forwardā.
There was a beautiful rainbow at about mile 8. It seemed like a sign that suggested something positive but from then until mile 23 it was pretty dark inside my head. Once I got my nutrition back on track more positive things started happening! But it was the toughest day so far by a lot.
Iām 946,000 steps into this month. Iāve burned just under 58,000 calories. Iāve run 182 miles in the last seven days. In total, Iāve moved 473 miles this month with 30 miles to go tomorrow. (In the first week, I walked extra miles to help me reach my million steps goal.). Iāve run every calendar club run straight through. (Iāve walked 14 of the miles due to work calls.) And, now Iām one more day away from achieving one of the biggest challenge goals Iāve ever signed up for (maybe/probably the biggest.) And I know, the best part about enduring all this is that each of these challenges added together makes me better, gives me new convictions and insights about whatās possible and inspires me to encourage you to dig deeper too.
Hereās to tomorrow!
