2021 Barkley Fall Classic Recap

I realized I hadn't added this race recap to my site. Maybe I was trying to put it out of my mind. Somewhere along the way in Frozen Head State Park, I destroyed my knee. I am nearly 100% certain that it was this race that I tore my meniscus at the root and have not...

2019 New York City Marathon Recap

This race felt more like an obligation than an adventure. I know this is a departure from my usual jovial race recaps that revolve around port-o-pot mishaps or bloody nipples. Fortunately, this race had neither of those, but it lacked something else.

A New Goal For Lucas – Helping to Keep Memories Alive

As most of you know, I donate $1 for each mile I run to the University of Virginia Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I started doing this about 7 years ago as a way to help other families that are going through what my wife, Jen, and I went through when we lost Lucas shortly after he was born.

Erie Marathon Race Recap

The Erie Marathon was held on September 10, 2018. 2200 runners registered for the race to make it a completely sold out event. It is a favorite among runners looking for a last ditch effort to get into Boston since the race is right before the opening of Boston Marathon registration. Erie has a high percentage of finishers hitting those qualifying times that they seek.

Our Charity

Over $70,000 raised for the babies at the UVA NICU! Donate today!

Asking Jeremy to coach me was one of the best decisions I had ever made. Week after week, he pushed me out of my comfort zone, something I would have never done if I was training by myself.

Sara Ilnicki

His detailed training on a weekly bases pushed me to my limits, and over sometimes, to grow. He knew my ultimate goal was to qualify for Boston, and he kept me on track.

Alex Lane

I was impressed with Jeremy’s profile and noted that he started from nothing and had worked up to a marathon distance, but was also a family man who would understand my need to keep family first.
