There is nothing unique with my introduction to running. As an elementary kid, I remember the playground races that involved a shuttle run over the black top on an out and back course of maybe 50 meters tops. Growing up with two brothers, I was experienced with the competition side of running and have always…

As some of you may or may not know, there has been a 31-day challenge taking place the last four Januarys. It’s really simple and boils down to walking or running at least one mile outside for each day of the month. Ann Ringlein approached me on this idea in late 2018, for an idea…

This picture above is from the early, EARLY days of LRC Racing (est. 2012). For a few years there, Hospital Hill in Kansas City would have a team scored component where we would compete against Team Nebraska and KC Smoke (primarily). The course was a difficult course but had one of the fastest finishes coming…

“Hello! Our organization is called LRC Nebraska, and we will be celebrating our 12th year of existence this summer.” Gallup Strengthfinders is a popular assessment tool that I have used in several different ways in the past decade. One of my top strengths is context, which simply means that I enjoy thinking about the past.…

This is officially my 12th year of post collegiate running, and the last few year’s have been a struggle. Between injury, COVID and two young daughters, running (and real training) has taken a huge back seat to other priorities in my life. I am optimistic about returning to racing in 2022, but even more so,…

Over the weekend, I saw on Twitter that Steve Prefontaine would have turned 69 had he not died on May 30, 1975. As any runner can attest, Steve Prefontaine is a household name despite nearly 25 years passing between his death and my introduction to competitive running. To be honest, while I had heard of…

When we started LRC Racing in 2010, we did it for the sole reason of wanting to continue in the sport of running. It wasn’t necessarily that we had goals to qualify for the Olympic Trials or to break a sub-4:00 mile, but it was because we truly loved what we had experienced because of…

Maybe it’s the end of a year (which is only compounding on the end of a decade), but I feel like I’ve been somewhat reflective this last week on the past. A lot has happened over the last ten years, and each of those events have their place. In 2010 we started LRC Racing. In…

I have a confession to make. I am a cross country runner stuck in a track runner’s body. I love the team aspect of cross country, I love the fall running, and I love throwing on a pair of spikes. Unfortunately for me, though, track and the speed that comes along with it has always…

I’ve spent some time over the years thinking about the running industry in Nebraska, and while I don’t want to contradict my prior post about being positive, I do think that it’s worth providing some information to those that might benefit from some additional context.  That leads me to the subject of this post, which…
