3/15/2016

Hey guys,

 Welcome back to my blog. I hope everyone is having a great week. As for me it was a pretty interesting weekends.  It began Friday night ,3/11/2016 around 5pm.  As me and my girlfriend picked up the car rental, we were informed that they would be giving us a Brand New 2016 Toyota Camry with only 200 miles on it. I was super happy. I highly recommend this car if you buy or rent. It handles great. here a photo.  #LikedThisCamry

As they night continued I had to go drop off my girl at home, so she can go relax and enjoy your night off. Soon after I was on my way to get my good friend. Deuvall Dorsey aka The 420Runner. I met him back at a race we were both doing. X-Terra. Since then we have help each other stay motivate. The 420Runner, has been missing in action for several months, not because he wanted but because he is busy making moves in the Cannabis Industry. Keep doing it buddy you will get there soon. So take a look at the 2 articles he was featured in.

The time finally came to go check in at the 24 hour scavenger hunt, being hosted by COTOPOXI. I was invited by Flip Chavez who is a race director , which I met last year at the Mustache Dash 5K. Thanks for the Invite. We won't let you down.

Flip Chanvez & Team Run4U

As we began our great adventure all over vegas we had to stop by and say hello to Flip, He took good care of of and made sure we had everything we needed to make this COTOPOXI adventure a blast.  We were able to knock out a few of the challenges on Freemont Street, I never knew Las Vegas had so many places that I still didn't know about.  Please check out our wild time here : http://questivalteams.cotopaxi.com/teampage?id=uOkF2uUYTJ

As the night progress we decide to stop by a smith to get some food and drinks, but deuvall quickly recognized a UFC fighter. Team Run4U got the opportunity to meet 
Mike "Quicksands" Pyle. currently 27-4. Michael Wayne Pyle is an American professional mixed martial artist who competes in the welterweight division of the UFC. Thanks again for helping us out on our Hunt!

All I have to say is I hope we can do this again, Because Team Run4u needs to make a come back next year and blow this event out of the water. Thanks again for those that tried to join us, I know things get hard hope next year you can. At the endTEAM RUN4U ended 133 out of 180.  We will do better! 

Farewell! Cotopoxi!

Welcome back guys!

I am happy to be writing  another blog on my upcoming race. Since I began running in Las Vegas, I have always wanted to be part of this particular race.  

Each participant is asked to donate a piece of clothing at each 1K marker.. This is benefiting the U.S.VETS –supports the 2016 Veterans Stand Down.  Each Participants receive race t-shirt, finisher medal, swag bag, and a ticket to the after party at Stoney's Rockin' Country for 2 hours of hosted food and beverage.

Whether you are a competitive runner, a 5K virgin, looking for corporate team building activity or just want to have fun with family and friends, Strip on the Strip™ 5K is for everyone. So join me and lets run together.------->

----> I also want to say thanks to the Sponsor who made this event possible. Thank you personally for being part of this tradition. Thank you Land Rover Of Las Vegas, Humana and Eventure. 

As many of you know I've been running for about 2 years now, and this has helped my life in so many ways. Which is why I recommended to everyone who feels sad, worried, stressed, or just needs time to them self, go out there and #run4u.

​
 Since I knew I would be doing this event back in February, I decide to signup for a 30 day 1 miles challenge to keep myself busy and motivated to keep improving on my new passion. Running. I happy to say That I was able to complete 1 mile a day for 30 days, I finished with 43.77 Miles for the month!

UPDATES AFTER THE EVENT!
Hey guys,
Let me catch you up on whats happened so far. I was able to attend and finish this 5K in record time. I completed in 42:00 Minutes. Would have been faster but decide to help motivate other runners as I was running thru the course. Last year this event took place by the Mandalay Bay, however this time it was held at the Circus Circus Casino.

I had a blast helping them at the Range Rover Car dealership. I was happy to finally meet  Terese Forst and Jennifer Mahar, This two ladies sure work hard. They were able to host a great event with an awesome turn out.

Both were kind and sweet and helpful with all of my questions.  So please take a look at the video I created for this event. I will also have a different link to all the photos, so you can download your copies.
