Muscle memory, prayers and positive self-talk. Get Lucky 50k in 5:20.33 for a PR! Blood clots a few months ago held me to a 25k long run prior. Laser treatment on varicose veins this Friday. Hoping to get off the blood thinners soon. #MedalMonday #runchat – at Canal Fulton, OH
Been away, but still racing. Ran Forget the PR 50k in 6:30:41. Felt great considering my longest training run was 25k trail race in March. Was told I won best dressed in🙂@PROCompression, #BestDamnShirt @wegryndathletic & jorts. @BDawgrunsolo volunteering was a pick-me-up. #FTPR – at Loudonville, OH

The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.
RT when it works for you.
In honor of my birthday, some of you can have the day off & we’ll call it #LaborDay. All I ask is that you please tell someone you love them & do something kind for someone today!
The #MarquetteTrail50 swag was amazing. I’ll be using this all with pride. Finally got my @Orangemud Transition Wrap! #MedalMonday #ultrarunning #trailrunning – at Galion, OH

Been a Yooper since Thursday, camping, fly fishing, hiking & dining on smoked fish, pasties & jerky.
Ran #MarquetteTrail50 miler, a technical course with roots & rocky climbs that summited 8 peaks with numerous views of Lake Superior. 14 hours 11 minutes, 49/151, grateful ❤️

Saturday our #MetzgerTribe ran @AvitaHealthS Moving Hearts & Soles 5k. I ran with Blaise, while Sarah ran with Gus & the other kiddos ran the kids races. We’re fortunate our kids want to follow in our footsteps & do races together. I’m grateful for the genuine smiles. #tbt

Bachelor’s party weekend in Hidden Valley, PA. Got a 18.5 miler in as soon as we got here yesterday evening. It’s ok to be different. Don’t settle for average. Hope you find some serenity this weekend!

Great Freshman year @metzger_nevaeh keep pushing! We're proud of you! Thanks @zachary_holden for all of your coverage of local HS sports.
Had the pleasure of running with Arlen a few miles at #RunningWithMyGnomies last month. That man is dedicated to his craft. Good guy. So happy for him! – at Ohio, USA

Took Gemma & Inez for a 2nd place, 22:34 at the Tiro VFD 5k this morning. Forgot there were hills on that course! A small, but fun race. Added 5 miles later for the workout I needed today.

For those of you following our power loss last week, tonight we got a new pole & electricity! 5 days without power. Thanks for the concerns. We have had numerous people offer help in the meantime and we are so grateful.

12 #FathersDay miles. 16 if pushing +65 lbs of daughters in a double running stroller counts for double miles.
Being blessed with 6 kids I’m thankful I get to live my vocation as a father daily!

That was an interesting night. 🙏🏼Thankful we’re all safe. Been a busy day of cleaning up trees. Hope @lauralloyd26_2 sends the electricians down here so we can get power & use the driveway sometime.

Well my goal race was everything it should have been, I finally got my first 100 mile buckle, and just under 24 hours, also I did it on my own no crew or pacers, learning as I went, and the miles piling up. We can do hard things if you put your mind to it. 💯 #Grateful

One of my pacers, Mark, just sent me this pic. Him and @ThadStillRuns coaxed me across the finish line in 2016 at @BurningRiver100 #zombies
Last Saturday’s #RunningWithMyGnomies 50k was the slowest I’ve ever ran (7:31, 11th, 2ndAG). Mud, roots, gnomes, hills, creeks to run down & heat. Went down hard, but executed a barrel roll & only a minor scrape. Thankful to have @axetowax there to educate & motivate.

I was the shepherd in sexy shorts who led the flock back after a lead pack went the wrong way & I noticed. #ForgetthePR50k is always a favorite, but I have no plans to see Big Ass Hill until next year, 😂. After a cold spring it hit 84F. 6:39.06.
