Not all addictions are bad. It wasn’t until I didn’t #run I realized how much I needed it, and not for the physical benefits. mikerearnshaw.substack.com/p… #fitleaders #running #runner #selfcare #mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

Crazy to think we actually celebrated Evan’s Senior Night! It feels like yesterday I was driving him to preschool. Proud of the young man he’s becoming. #prouddad #dadsasprincipals

This! 👇 🔥🔥🔥
Leadership is more than setting expectations and holding people accountable. It’s showing up, walking the hallways, greeting students, checking on teachers, and celebrating the little wins. Sometimes, the smallest actions make the biggest difference.

Bench & Upper Body Fun! Felt great to get back to strength training after focusing on prepping for The Chicago Marathon. Definitely have some ground to make up, but I’m excited for this journey! #fitleaders #run #runner #running #fitness

Chicago Marathon 2026, & my 9th! Had a great plan in place, but Mother Nature & the Heat had other plans. Still stuck with it & pulled out a finish. Grateful for every mile run & the opportunity. #fitleaders #run #runner #running #chicagomarathon #medalmonday

Some addictions are needed for our own mental health and well-being, a catalyst to release the pressure to make us more productive and better for those we serve and love. 👇 mikerearnshaw.substack.com/p… #fitleaders #run #runner #running #mentalhealth #selfcare #wellbeing

I can’t believe Evan ran his last XC race! Crazy how fast these last 4 years of high school have flown by. I couldn’t be more proud of him for sticking with it since 7th grade. It was awesome seeing him end his XC career at Conference with a PR for the season! #prouddad

Bittersweet day. Evan ran his last Culver Academy XC Meet, his favorite course. He did set a season PR! Aubs ran her first High School Culver race, placing 27th out of 196, & the Munster Girl’s Varsity Team took 3rd place! #fitleasers #run #runner #running

Probably the best I’ve EVER felt on a 20 miler! Needed this more for the mental confidence. Chicago #Marathon T-14 #fitleaders #run #running

Evening Miles Just ran by how I was feeling. When I finished I was pleasantly surprised with the pace! Chicago #Marathon T-17 #fitleaders #run #runner #running

You can leave school thinking about a student who had a hard day and still be glad to head home. Maybe you make a note to check in with them tomorrow. If something needs immediate attention, you involve the appropriate people before leaving. Then you go home, even if there are emails unanswered or lessons you could keep working on. Caring about students doesn't require treating every unfinished task as an evening assignment. Teachers need time to be people outside their classrooms, too.

Ruby LOVES being Oak Glen’s Therapy Dog! She wanted to show our students how excited they should be to come to school each day, especially with September’s PUNCTUALITY Challenge! #therapydog #therapydogs #education #teacher #teachers #teaching #goldendoodle

A positive mind is such a powerful tool for not only a successful & fulfilling life for yourself, but the impact it will do for others. #mindset #positive #positivemind #mindset #positivity
