I've run many half marathons and full marathons over the years and during every single race I always seem to think about how I lost my mother at a very early age, and how she battled health problems for many years. She was only 62 when she died of congestive heart failure. I find it surprising that I am not only a part of her, but I have the strength to run all these races over the years with a full and healthy heart that has never failed me. During yesterday's race, I became even more inspired while looking down at my personal Inspotat on my wrist, thinking of my mom, while crossing that finish line at mile 13.
That is why I run #RunMoreThanMiles

I ran my first half marathon and did not know what to expect. I placed Inspotas on my arm before the run, and each mile I would look at my arm and be inspired to run that mile. It helped me accomplish and achieve my goal.

I loved running with Inspotats on my arm, every time I wanted to walk or thought I couldn't keep going, I looked down at my arm to see what or who I was running that mile for, and it brought me focus and gratitude for the ability to run.

Earlier this year, we honored our brother, son, friend, teammate Army Staff Sergeant James Moriarty, better known as “Jimmy,” by running Ragnar Luckenbach. This past November, Jimmy, alongside Sergeant First Class Matthew Lewellen and Staff Sergeant Kevin McEnroe, was tragically killed while on active duty in Jordan.
Last year, Jimmy recruited half a Ragnar team, all connected through him in a unique way: a friend from childhood, one from high school, one from college, another from the Army, and one from his family. With Jimmy as the anchor, the entire team meshed seamlessly, despite not knowing each other before. At his memorial service, the team vowed to run Ragnar again #forJimmy. We pulled together a full team of 12 runners and 2 van drivers in record time. Friends and family were more than eager to participate.
As we relayed our way through 200 miles of the Texas Hill Country, Jimmy continued to be our anchor and inspiration. Despite lost runners, major blisters, sore legs and little sleep, we managed to power through and placed 2nd in the co-ed division and 6th overall! Thanks to Inspotats for the inspiring tattoos, a gentle reminder to us and those around us of what we were running for.
