Today I saw Dr. Hunter for my calf and then was able to get in an hour run and a good workout at the gym. I have been feeling great lately and looking forward to getting 100% healthy and back into shape.
Also, I have still been working in the fields putting tile in. Still digging ditches! Hot one today..

Feeling the drive, fueling the drive and trying to reach the goal!
I have found it to be true…. everyone needs daily inspiration even when you have a strong desire. I have desired many things in my life but until I’m inspired to get up and go for it, nothing happens. The trick is to find out what inspires you. What gets you motivated to try something that seems impossible? Once you find that inspiration, you need to hang on to it for dear life.. Read some words of wisdom every morning when you get up, listen to a certain song or songs, take 5 min to pray about your life, watch some short video clips like some of the ones on my website. Find something and use it daily. If you do this, your desire will grow, you will be more inspired than ever and you will begin to believe in yourself. You will believe in yourself because you have inspired yourself to get out the door and do what is necessary, you have done the work. That last part is to have FAITH.

Advocare (Muscle Fuel and O2 Gold ) + 52 min run + Gym = Great Workout. I’m feeling good as I start getting back into shape. I’m not sure if it is the Advocare vitamins and supplements that I started to use or what but I have been feeling a lot better than normal especially for starting back up.
Farm Life…. We have been working hard trying to get some tile done in one of our fields. It has been a long project but then again I guess they all are. My main job is to dig the ditches by hand once the backhoe can’t do anymore. I do the final digging and connect the new tile into the main line with a T or Y. I have also been running the tile cart. We are trying to finish before harvest gets here.

I ran in the Saucony Triumph 8 the other day and I have to say Saucony did a good job with this shoe. I’m only up to 30 min runs but I was still able to get a good feel for the shoe and I like it.
I’ll keep you informed.

For those of you who may not know, my brothers and I held our first ever training camp last week. It was a Huge Success and I already cannot wait until next year. Check out the pictures on our “Myers training camp” facebook group. I will also try and get them up on here.
Well… Advocares Post workout recovery must have done something crazy cause I’m not sore at all today. After my session at the gym yesterday I was sure I wouldn’t be able to walk. 
Looking forward to my next run and gym session.
Also if anyone is wondering what I did on the farm today? I shoveled rotten wheat in the AM and brush hogged in the PM. What a satisfying day of hard work.

If it seems like it has been forever since my last post, it’s because it has. I have had a few setbacks and because of them, I was putting all my energy into getting healthy and forgot to fill everyone in. My new goal is to do my best keeping everyone up to date. A friend asked me, I want to hear about the road less traveled. I’ll try my best.
So far I have been able to get in about 6 easy runs and Today was my first day back into the Gym after my injury. I’m running in the Triumph 8 and it is a great shoe.
As far as the Gym goes I can already tell I’m going to be sore I wore the new Mirage and it is awesome! I’m not sure it if is out yet though. Thanks Tony!
So what else is new?
I’m now part of the Advocare team and I’m really excited about it. I love the fact that their products have the Informed Choice label on them so I know that the are Clean and will pass USADA with flying colors. Nothing better than knowing what you are putting into your body. If you want more information on Advocare check it out at WWW.Advocare.com/10078651
Or.. if you would like to know more send me a message and I’ll fill you in.

I’m sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have been on the go. If you’ve been following, you know I have raced 5 times. I have had some good runs and some disappointing runs but the important thing is that I’m out here giving it my best and having fun. I’ve based in two different places throughout my stay in Europe. First I spent some time in Switzerland and now I’m in Leuven Belgium. I head out tomorrow for London, my last stop on the tour. I will be racing the mile, loaded with some great runners from around the world. When I look back on the opportunities I have been given and all the great people I have met over the years I realize how blessed I am to be running and racing for a living. Once I get back to the USA I’m planning on getting in some good training. I hope to be in good enough shape to come back over and do some more races in September.
You can always check out my videos on Flotrack to see my last two races and some interviews of me goofing around or talking a little about myself.
I hope all is well

Reebok Grand Prix
This past weekend I competed in the 1500m at the Reebok Grand Prix (5th 3:36.66). I went into the race with the goal of running from the front; however, when that didn’t happen, I responded to my circumstances, kept focused and ran hard. Although, I didn’t win and just barely missed the A standard (3:36.20), I learned a great deal from the race and couldn’t be happier that I am taking steps in the right direction. I know that I left it all on the track and it’s important that I enter each race with that same “all out” mentality. My sights are set on US Champs and I’m taking every day and every week as a chance to get more focused, fit and determined to accomplish that goal.
