Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.Is This All There Is?Beefcake #17 Sooooooo, this was it. The big Four-to-the-Zero. "Over the hill", is what they call it. My 40th birthday came and went, as I was enjoying the sun and the sand, while on vacation with my family. There was nothing else that I rather had been doing. It was really just another day, but it also called for a period of reflection. As I sat in my beach chair and took inventory of the things around me, I reflected on where I am today, where I thought I would be, and where I am going. Overall, I honestly don’t kn...2016-10-2000 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.No One Can MAKE You FEEL AnythingBeefcake #16 I don't know why I thought it would end any other way. It had been set up perfectly. The collapse was inevitable. The flow of emotions would fill up like a fire hose, only to find a kink before it's certain explosion. The impending meltdown could have been predicted by any adult who had ever been a child. Kids are that way, especially when tired. You already know this, but allow me to feel like I know something. We were on family vacation, there were nine of us. We were at the beach, as the kids enjoyed the week o...2016-10-1900 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.The Power of AcknowledgementBeefcake#14 What is more important to you, income or acknowledgement? That was the questioned which was recently posed to me. I was asked if I were more driven by praise or money. The answer was simple, praise. I'm an extrovert. For better or worse, I rely on the outside world to provide my sense of worth. It's pretty sad, I know, but it is what I do. Since being asked this question, I have asked it to numerous people. I have been shocked to find that every person with whom I have spoken, has said that praise or acknowledgement is...2016-09-2800 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.Take The Stupid PictureBeefcake #12 Every holiday, it never fails. At some point, someone has to say it, "everybody gather round, let's get a picture". Soooooooo, everyone gets up from their comfortable position, crams awkwardly up against one another, and waits. "Whoops, we are going to need a camera". After a brief intermission, a family member returns from the bedroom with the camera, which has not been used since the last family gathering. "Oh crappit, the battery is dead. Everyone relax for a second, but don't go anywhere." No one has ever left the scene of the family picture, because we all know that...2016-09-2300 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.That Dog Really Does BiteBeefcake #11 I'm a cheater. I always have been. I don't actively cheat at this stage of my life, but cheating is definitely inside of me. I have always cut corners and searched for the easy way. I read step one and then step five, if I understand step five, I continue from there. I behave as if I don't really value education and tend to feel that I won't really have a use for it. It is almost as if the rules don't apply to me. My strategy of not having a plan has not played out according to plan. A...2016-09-2100 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.Practicing My Inner-ElvisBeefcake Episode #1 Elvis. That's all that I really have to say. I haven't been able to conjure up any more words past that. Just Elvis. I don't know any more than that. I feel compelled to say something, but where do you start? He is Elvis, for goshsake. It's Elvis week in Memphis, TN. and with that comes the Elvis Presley Memorial 5k. Amanda, my dad, and myself hopped on down to Graceland to participate in the race and see the fanfare. Truthfully, I like Elvis music, but I am not just crazy about it. I mean, who doesn't like...2016-08-1700 min

I get an itch and I have to scratch it. Sometimes, I don't even itch, but I feel the need to search for a feather, so that I might create an itch to scratch. I feel like I have a NEED to obsess over something. I have this deep seeded desire to feel like I am chasing something. I am e...2016-03-2400 min

Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast - Inspire. Be Inspired.“Sometimes, all that anyone needs to know is that somebody gives a sh*t”September 14, 2015 STANKY CREEK 25K/50K 2015 Here we go again... It’s 4am on Sunday morning September 13, 2015. The alarm goes off loudly. I fart louder. I open my eyes, and immediately blame it on the dog, my protest muffled by the sound of my still attached CPAP mask. After this, I perform the same ritual that I perform every morning that I get the chance. I slap Amanda on the ass and I say, “it’s gonna be a good day today, red!”. I played high school football for the Germantown Red Devils. Not a day went by (win, lose, or draw) th...2015-09-1500 min
