This week on the pod, we sit down with David, who—like so many—has walked a powerful journey toward sobriety. He shares how the last 10 years have shaped him and how exercise and running helped transform his daily routine and bring rhythm back into his life. David’s positivity and drive are contagious, and we hope his story offers you encouragement and motivation wherever you are on your own path.

As always, thanks for joining us on the run.

This week on the pod, we ventured out to Montgomery Bell State Park for our first ultra race—the Bell Ringer. Our families camped out along the course, lifting our spirits and filling our hearts at just the right moments.

We fell. We laughed. We almost cried. But we kept moving and made it to the finish.

After 32.75 miles of tough trail, we walked away humbled, grateful, and full-hearted. This race reminded us of the power of community, perseverance, and showing up even when it’s hard.

Huge shoutout to @bellringertrailrun for a beautifully run race and for hosting it in a place that so clearly reflects God’s creation.

Thanks for joining us on the run. 🏔️✨

This week on the pod, we’re covering runner gift ideas, Patrick’s big 4-0, and why running is basically therapy with shoes on.

Plus, we unpack glimmers, the little joys that get us through the hard stuff, and chat about our upcoming first ultra at @bellringertrailrun next weekend.

We can’t wait for you to come hang with us & as always thanks for joining us on the run! ✨
