I like smooth rides and I cannot lie, you other runners can’t deny
When a runner runs by with the new ride in her stride and Runner dust in your face
You get sprung , whatta smooth shoe tongue
Cause you notice that mesh is light
Deep in my miles I’m wearing
I’m cruising while other runners glaring
O baby I wanna be with you
And take a post race picture
My runboys tried to warn me
But that ride you got makes me so hor…
Pump the breaks.. or Hit the gas with the new Ride 15 😉
An early morning run to start the day does not disappoint. Kittatinny State Park showing all of its splendor.
Pick up your trail map in store and get outside 👊🏼

Saturday - A can… That’s right a can.. and if you have been kicking the can on getting out there this winter and moving, lets pick it up and get focused. It’s time to kick it into gear.
Yesterday, my family and I embarked on a running journey. Nothing big, nothing crazy, but just the right touch of balance, understanding and impact.
This past Friday, after days of complications, we learned that our new blessing, whom would be our third child, would not carry a heartbeat, and would not get a chance to fully develop. Heartbroken we were.. heartbroken we are.
Our two children have seen us run countless times, but this particular run was again a reminder, of just how powerful running can be not only for yourself mentally, but for others strength as well. It was the exact purpose of why we started Root Runners. After explaining to them that they would follow dad from our house to Root Runners and what it represented and why, even our youngest, Emma, who is three years old, was filled with excitement and renewal.
I decided to run 11 miles, with a starting temperature of 11 degrees, to represent the 11 weeks that my wife and family were expecting to welcome another crazy, loving, adventurous spirit into the world. My family leap frogged me along the way, from our front door, to the front door of Root Runners, which was exactly 11 miles, weird right? and filled my soul again with the purpose in which I run, and in which no medication, no alcohol or substance can ever recreate.

For this first Monday of the new year I am reflecting on a quote that has taken me through many decisions throughout my life. Although from the Oracle of Omaha, one of the greatest investors of our time, I found that implementing this mindset throughout all the facets of my life, the physical, the mental, financial and spiritual I am able to continue to challenge myself, grow, and put the things that matter first.
With that, As we begin the New Year, we want to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2022. We are thankful for such a welcoming into the community and county in 2021 and can’t wait to continue to plow forward into 2022.
I have lots of goals in 2022 and in order for me to go after them and accomplish them, I need to fill myself with gratitude for what has been first. All that was accomplished and all that needs to be after, I appreciate and am thankful. I like to use the phrase, “train with gratitude”. For the new year it should be applied to all aspects of our personal goals.
For all of the new friendships formed, relationships created, bonds strengthened and the ability to have a job that helps people move better, I am grateful and thankful.
From our family to yours, Happy New Year, and remember, being mindful matters.

Did you know that over 50% of runners are wearing shoes that are not the right fit?!
Comfortable shoes doesn`t always mean you`re in the right shoe. Comfort + Activity Specificity and Proper Sizing = less pain, more time doing what you love and a peace of mind and comfort that you can’t find at a big box store.
