Tied Together by a Pair of Shoes

To a runner, a pair of shoes is everything. It's the only piece of equipment that is really needed and sometimes, due to circumstances a pair of shoes can acquire great sentimental value. For me there's one pair that comes to mind. Naturally like any story, I had no idea that when I bought my first pair of Nike Air Max Motos that I would one day hold them in my hands with tears in my eyes. It was a late August day and Cross Country had just begun. I skipped out on practice to go hangout with a friend, Cody, who lived out of town. While I was staying at his house we decided that I shouldn't totally miss practice so we came up with the idea that I would just practice with his team. However, because of state regulations I couldn't practice with the team, so I just did my own workout. After the workout we went back to Cody's house and raided the kitchen cupboards and the fridge. As we sat there chowing down, Cody looked at me and said, "Dude one day you're...

The Purpose of Life

Since the very beginning man has asked the question, "what is the purpose of life?" Well perhaps the purpose of life is “to test to the limits of the human heart.” –Bill Bowerman, Without Limits It’s to love even at the risk of not being loved back. Take on a task bigger than you knowing you might fail. Push yourself to the brink and collapse! It’s time to stop playing it safe because by doing so we’re holding ourselves back from such an amazing life.

You have it in you to be the inspiration for another.

"Sine" Me Up...The Life Sine Curve Philosophy

In high school I was never very good at math. I always wondered how certain things would pertain to my life. Well, this summer I found a very applicable place for the Sine Curve. For those of you who are like me and hated math, the Sine Curve is the wavy line that goes up and down...sound familiar? I'm willing to bet that if you could give the events in your life a quantitative value and begin plotting these on a grid, your life would create a Sine Curve. Take a random year, think about it. Did that year have some pretty amazing times? How about some times where it just seemed like everyday was the same? Or our favorite, the times when life seemed to hit an all time new low. I really believe that it doesn't matter what year in your life you reflect on, there will always be one constant and that's the fact that life will go up and life will go down. I have been very excited to begin to really start to understand and believe in this philosophy. I have to give a shout out t...
