Week 1, Day 1 of my 16-week Marathon Training Plan. Today's workout was ~55 minutes of strength training. This will be my first-ever marathon -- it's going to be an adventure! October 8th, here I come! #hartfordmarathontraining #justkeeprunning #hmfevents #jonsfirstmarathon (at The Edge Fitness Clubs Glastonbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce__Pv8PrxC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I don’t have a huge number of "close guy friends". But ever since August 1992 ("New Man's Camp" for the Purdue Varsity Glee Club), I've considered @ryandavidsen a BFF (before BFF was a thing). We only spent 1 year of college together, but we packed a lot into that 1 year. Countless Glee Club shows together, cross-country bus ride seat-mates, Sony Walkman + dual headphone splitter for hours, wearing out tapes of Christian Alt Rock (Adam Again, The Choir) and soundtracks ("Aladdin", "Chess"), roommates in Australia / New Zealand / Fiji. Deep discussions about Jesus and our shared faith and how to make sense of life. Much more. Then he was in my wedding. Then he visited me in San Diego. Then somehow ~20 years went by. We caught up today for about 4 hours. This was a special day with a very special friend. Ryan - I tried to find a filter that got rid of our wrinkles, but IG just kept laughing at me. Let's not wait another 20 years before our next catch-up -- we'll be nearly 70 by then...! (at Euless, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccyb5h5JJDt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Birthday to my very best friend! I can't imagine life without you by my side, Jackie! 😘 🎵Every little thing that you do - Baby, I'm amazed by you...🎵 #proverbs1822 Photo Location: Miami, FL (January 28, 2022) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaI4Ck0syLB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Friends. Purdue Varsity Glee Club "New Men" in Fall '92. College roommates for 2+ years. Groomsmen at each other's weddings. 19+ years since we've seen each other; feels like we haven't missed a beat... #brothersinsong #brothersinchrist (at Cedar Park, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPt9T1sRS2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hard to believe it was 30+ years ago that me and my Jr. High/High School friend Rich (not on IG/FB) used to run these streets here in Rochester Hills, MI. It was fun to reconnect and reminisce. Time really does fly, kids; embrace every day as a precious, God-given gift! (at Rochester, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVES7fvsTH5/?utm_medium=tumblr

My first ever in-person Half Marathon is in the books. Thanks to all of my family and friends who came out to cheer me (and the other 6,999 participants) on! #hmfevents #justkeeprunning #RUNGRR (at Hartford, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU0sO8tvDf7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy National Daughter's Day, Jordan! You are everything I ever could have wanted in a daughter - and so much more! God's light shines brightly in and through you, and you are a blessing to SO many people (and Mango, too)... 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CURJd8QMowE/?utm_medium=tumblr
