Incredibly lucky to have some time in Oklahoma City before my flight home and visit the OKC Memorial. Truly an emotional experience

Under 6 min mile for the first time. 2024 goals: Under 6:20 mile ✔️

Mental health run and working on my OCD. My brain keeps saying, "...but you didn't run 12." 🤣🤣

Incredibly honored to present on a national stage at CMS #QualCon24 in Baltimore this week. My team lovingly refers to me as "Mr. Disaster," as my specialty is in emergency preparedness. Emergency preparedness isn't everyone's job title but it is everyone's responsibility

Emergency preparedness isn't in everyone's job title but it is everyone's responsibility. Always great to get the band back together and talk shop.

Not every race is a PR but every race is a lesson learned. Had a great time Drake Relays. They always do an excellent job with their support and swag

"You don't get judged on how you respond to a disaster. You get judged on how you recover." ~ Andre Velasquez IEM News Great learning and networking going on at the Illinois Emergency Services Management Association (IESMA)

Will "Lauren's playing that thing..." Me "the harmonica?" Will "I think it's Grandma's Monica"

When teaching a child to ride a dirt bike, explain how to break before explaining how to go...I know this now.

I'm just saying it's similar

I'm at an age where a portion of playing with the kids in the pool is dedicated to stretching and water aerobics

Rural running means great sunrise pics

Happy 4th of July!

Business is booming. Even Mabel is getting into the work with a little smile

The only way I remember my age is through race events. Small town high school runners are fast fast.

Rural running has its perks. Also, I made the little dipper.

Doesn't get more Iowa than a football stadium with a corn field behind it

I want to see who she beat out to represent Australia

Rural miles are tough to come by. Got a little dizzy 🤣

This running business has gotten out of hand...so apparently I need to learn how to swim. #ironman
