47 DAYS!!!

In preparation for IronMan Texas, IronMan Jim, task master extraordinaire, put our boys, Brandon Loughridge and Tyler Blanton, through the paces this weekend. That is 114.6 miles this weekend! Yesterday they had a little 94 mile bike ride followed by a 4 mile jog. Today they had a 15 mile run followed by a 1.85 mile swim. 47 days. Oh yeah. They'll be ready. So proud of these boys! I encourage and invite each of you to read this amazing story from the boys’ mouths at www.gofundme.com/fupsvg. If you are able to financially support them in any way, please do, regardless of the amount. Join us in this journey. Join us in positivity and happiness. And with Brandon, Tyler and me, KEEP DREAMING OUT LOUD! -TRACE

NEXT!

I want you to know that Brandon Loughridge and Tyler Blanton did not participate in this weekend’s Woodland’s Marathon. THEY CRUSHED IT!!! For their FIRST marathon, Tyler came in at 3:53 and Brandon at 4:28. Amazing. Simply amazing. And, not surprisingly, they did not claim personal success but rather told people that “Today was a good day for Team Inspiration.” Indeed it was. Team Inspiration’s own Jim Harrington finished with a time that allows him to compete in the Boston Marathon. Good day indeed! I continue to be surrounded by people that make me want to fight harder, be stronger. I am truly a Blessed man! As the IronMan draws near, cheer Brandon and Tyler on as they train. Next stop - the MS 150. I encourage and invite each of you to read this amazing story from the boys’ mouths at www.gofundme.com/fupsvg.
