Thought about joining Giannis for a swim today

Super happy with the way my design turned out! #familyfirst #az #tattoo

A lot has happened over the last 15 years. A lot of ups and downs. A lot traveling, moving and job changes. A lot of people have come and gone in my life, but one person who’s always been there is Nick. Thanks for being the most loyal friend any of us have! I love you and can’t wait to grab beers soon! Happy Birthday. PS you’re still doing it wrong...

Sorry @dustinleutenegger and @aramypinho I found some new training buddies down here in Tennessee. They managed 1 hill repeat (walking) but it was good company to have! See ya next week Beau and Kayden! #hillrepeats #trainingbuddies

2002-2020 what a good buddy our family has had the last 18 years. Besides the few times he pissed on all my clean laundry he was a great companion to have around. Went easy in the night so glad he’s pain free now! Love ya Dewey

I had a weird feeling before my run today. For the past month I’ve been living in a small Tennessee town just an hour south of Nashville. On a few long runs I’ve had some close calls with some off leash dogs. So before starting my run today I went to the Tractor supply store next to the apartment I’m staying at and bought a pocket knife. I opened package after checkout, put the knife in my run belt, and headed out on my normal 15 mile run loop. Luckily there were no run ins with any dogs today, but at mile 12 something else happened. I was running on a shoulder-less road (going against traffic) and most cars were giving me plenty of room. One car in particular either didn’t see me or didn’t care - I jumped off the road and in the process squirted some of my water at the windshield. About 30 seconds later the same car comes up alongside my and cuts my off, pulling into the oncoming traffic lane. 3 young dudes jump out and one starts to rush towards me. My instinct kicked in and I pulled out my knife (slicing my finger in the process). The three guys kept yelling and one of them pulled up his shirt to brandish a gun. I told them I was calling the cops as I held my knife towards the kid. As I reached for my phone they jumped back in the car and drove off. In my 10 years of endurance sports, I’ve never feared for my life more than I did today. Thankfully nothing happened but it could have been a lot worse had no one else been around and I wasn’t carrying a phone and/or knife. I’ll definitely be taking the knife with me for my long ride tomorrow but maybe it’s time to invest in something else.

Happy 1st Birthday to my best buddy Giannis! Who’s a gooooood boi?
