In this inspiring and light-hearted episode, I sit down with Christopher King—an 18-year veteran teacher, passionate musician, and local “amateur” weatherman with a heart for his community. We dive into his journey in education, his love for music, and his role on the worship team at King’s Cross Church. We also explore his unexpected role as THE go-to source for local weather updates—and why he does it out of love for the people in the communities around him.

From classroom stories to worship music to weather alerts, this episode is filled with laughter, heart, and motivation for anyone looking to make an impact right where they are in life.

Have you ever asked yourself, what is the best running shoe for me? Or maybe you've asked a friend. In this solo episode we hit the ground running with some of the pros and cons of the top 3 running shoes (in my opinion).

Top 3 Running Shoe Brands: Nike, Brooks, and Hoka

     Brooks is synonymous with comfort, support, and durability. Their shoes are built with DNA Loftcushioning for plush underfoot feel and GuideRails support technology, which helps reduce excess movement to prevent injury. They focus heavily on biomechanics to enhance natural running motion.

In this episode the special guest is Andy Neal. Andy is a life long friend who grew up in middle Tennessee and recently moved to Knoxville. After the move, he accepted a position in sales and consulting, which gave him an opportunity to leave the machinist job he had been doing for years. About a year ago, he was motivated by a family member and decided to change his life by starting a drastic weight loss journey. There have been obstacles and challenges, but also a lot of grit and determination. He has had the support of his amazing wife, Rachel, throughout it all. In October, she threw out the idea that they should run a half marathon. She had run several, but this would be Andy's first half. They began training on a mix of running and cross fit exercises and built up to a level that had him ready to run. In April of 2024, Andy conquered the Oak Barrel Half Marathon course in his hometown of Lynchburg, TN with a time of 2:41 and completed the goal set forth just a few months prior. It truly was an inspirational and emotional moment as he crossed the finish. He stated that it was the hardest thing that he had ever done... but he did it! I hope you find this podcast episode motivational and uplifting. Please follow the On PACE Podcast... Leave a Rating and Review... and Share the podcast.

In this episode we discuss traveling as a family and ways to stay ahead of your vacation.

1. Don’t over plan!!!
2. Your kid doesn’t care about the things you care about. Mini golf, resort pool, etc
3. Have plenty of snacks (especially to a theme park or beach). Don’t get HANGRY
4. Lower stress levels - take a walk, CBD gummies and/or Ashwaganda, AirPods or noise cancelling devices (cone of silence). Try to not major on little stuff. In the words of Elsa… LET IT GO!
5. Eat places that you can’t get at home (more of a rule) - caveat Chickfila is an exception and sometimes you just need a good fried chicken sandwich or salad
6. Use a travel planner for Disney and/or your first time somewhere
7. Grocery Delivery (walmart/publix/kroger/door dash/instacart) to your destination. We did this to Disney.
8. Have a pull behind cart if you plan to haul more than a little to the beach 😂
9. After checking in for Southwest… stay on the app and wait for upgrade option. Paid $40 to upgrade from c10 to a1
10. AirTags are great for sliding in your bags to track your luggage. Or bracelets for kids that slide AirTags into them

In this episode we talk about the ways of staying active during a busy life. It happens to the best of us. We plan to get any activity or workout in, but then the day gets away from us. Whether the day never lets up, or it just feels like "what's the point now" it doesn't get done for the rest of the day. Use the points in this episode to help fit in your fitness and time for you.

When you're busy, it's essential to find creative ways to stay active. Here are some strategies:

1. Break it Down: Fit in short bursts of activity throughout your day, even if it's just 10 minutes at a time.
2. Maximize Efficiency: Choose workouts that give you the most bang for your buck, like HIIT or circuit training.
3. Prioritize Activities: Identify activities that you enjoy and that give you the most benefit, then prioritize them in your schedule.
4. Incorporate Movement: Look for opportunities to move more during your daily tasks, like pacing while on phone calls or doing squats while waiting for food to cook.
5. Schedule Workouts: Treat exercise as non-negotiable appointments in your calendar to ensure they happen.
6. Be Flexible: Don't get discouraged if your routine gets disrupted. Be flexible and find alternative ways to stay active.
7. Use Technology: Utilize fitness apps or online workout videos for quick and convenient exercise sessions.
8. Combine Activities: Incorporate physical activity into activities you already do, like walking meetings or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
9. Delegate and Share Responsibilities: Delegate tasks when possible to free up time for exercise, and share responsibilities with family or colleagues to lighten your load.
10. Stay Consistent: Consistency is key. Even small, consistent efforts can add up to significant benefits over time.

In this episode James talks about his recent aviation journey and what led to his desire to start pursuing his Private Pilot Certificate. From childhood memories of large regional air shows at THA, to day to day interactions with clients and friends in aviation, there are lots of ties to aviation. Living in Tullahoma with one of the greatest airports around, also helps a bit to nudge someone with a slight interest into pursuing more. Tullahoma Regional Airport boasts multiple runways, a skydiving center, and a first class FBO. The Beechcraft Heritage Museum sits just off the end of runway 18/36 and is probably one of the top aviation museums in the nation. Add in the Arnold Engineering Development Center Air Force Base just a few miles down the street, and you don't have to go very far to get exposed to planes, flying, and the skies.

This episode covers some high level discussion on Flying Drones both recreationally and under Part 107. Obtaining your Part 107 Certificate should not be considered too overwhelming... and even easier if you already hold a part 61 certificate. I recently passed my Private Pilot Certificate Checkride and the path to a Part 107 was an easy and natural progression. There were a few differences in the material, but much of the same information.

What I currently fly today:

In this episode we discuss Setting Goals and Pursuing Dreams.

Setting Goals
1. Power of Proximity - Surround yourself with positive people
2. Have a Vision - Don't limit your vision by historical boundaries
3. Breakdown Barriers
Roger Bannister = sub 4:00 minute mile
Eliud Kipchoge = sub 2:00 hour marathon
Something seemingly impossible can turn into a very attainable goal once someone proves it's possible.
4. Barrier to Entry: Do the hard thing. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
The higher the barrier the entry the harder it will be. Higher Risk = Higher Reward
Lower Barrier to entry = Lower Risk and more people doing it

Pursuing Dreams
1. Define Your Dream: Clearly articulate what your dream is. Be specific about your goals and envision what success looks like for you.

1. Set SMART Goals: Break down your dream into smaller, achievable goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

2. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan outlining the actions you need to take to move toward your dream. This plan should serve as your roadmap.

3. Educate Yourself: Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for your pursuit. Continuous learning and improvement are key components of achieving dreams.

4. Take Action: Begin taking small, consistent steps towards your goals. Action is crucial in turning dreams into reality.

5. Stay Persistent: Expect challenges and setbacks. Persistence is often the key to overcoming obstacles and staying on course.

6. Seek Support: Surround yourself with supportive individuals who share your vision or can provide guidance. A supportive network can be invaluable.

7. Adaptability: Be flexible and open to adjustments. Circumstances may change, and being adaptable allows you to navigate unexpected challenges.

8. Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way. Recognizing progress can boost motivation.

9. Reflect and Adjust: Regularly evaluate your progress, reflect on what's working and what isn't, and adjust your approach accordingly.

Remember, pursuing a dream is a journey with ups and downs. Stay focused, resilient, and committed to your vision.

In this episode I discuss facts about the Boston Marathon Race. Since its inception in 1897, it is probably one of the most iconic and recognizable marathons in the world. Some runners would say it is their unicorn of a race and maybe that lends to the medal design by the Boston Athletic Association.

In this episode the tables are turned and Mandy interviews me about my experience running the New York City Marathon. We enjoyed our time in NYC, but learned a lot of lessons. Hopefully you find these tips beneficial as you prepare for your next big race.

Tip 1: TRAIN! TRAIN! TRAIN!
Having a scheduled training plan will help you maximize your performance. This requires discipline and if you find that hard, seek a coach or friend that can hold you accountable.

Tip 2: Vacation AFTER your race
Learn from my experience that we discuss in this episode and save your vacation and touring for after you race. I recommend getting in the afternoon before you race. Visit the Expo, take you pre race pics, go to dinner, and then get back to your room and REST. You will be on your feet for your race the next day, so limit activity leading up to the race.

Tip 3: Get comfortable before the race
Find a place that you can get comfortable, stay warm, and wait for your starting time. You will probably be waiting for a few hours. Get some cheap clothes that are warm and can be worn over your race clothes and then discard in the donation bins as you exit the corral. Utilize bag drop for any items you prefer to keep, however avoid this all together will expedite your pre and post race experience for sure. If you would like different shoes to wear while you wait around, I recommend getting some old or cheap shoes you can donate as well.

Tip 4: Plan your nutrition before your race
Don't try anything new on race day. Use your training time leading up to the race to try nutrition and fuel. This will allow you to see what works and what doesnt for you body.

Tip 5: ENJOY and Take in the moment
While it is a big race, unless you are an elite, try to enjoy the sights and sounds. The crowds are usually amazing and the views incredible. If you can't easily access your phone while on the course, think about carrying a separate micro camera (GoPro) to get some pics and video of the things you want to remember.

Kat Coffey is an Ultra Marathoner, Certified Nutritionist, and Co-Founder of Kagavu.

In this interview we sit down with Kat Coffey to discuss her running, school, being a nutritionist, her non-profit, and so much more. This interview was so enjoyable and I hope you enjoy it as well.

In the episode we discuss some of the adversity Kat has faced with a diagnosis of celiac disease. She talks about the importance of education when it comes to overcoming and coping with it. That experience thrust her into endurance sports and so began her journey to the next topic, Little Dog's Backyard Ultra.

A lot of time was spent talking about Kat's time spent pounding the trails of Laz's backyard, famously known as Little Dog's Backyard. Kat successfully completed 14 yards before timing out on her 15th yard. We talk about the game plan, nutrition, course condition, competition, crewing, and much more.

Kat also talks about the non-profit she co-founded, Kagavu, which was created to equip and educate people to live sustainable lives, and to intercede for those in need. The proceeds of their products are used to help both internationally and domestically. Internationally, they are currently focusing on the village of Kagavu in the Mubende District of Central Uganda. The founders, Kat Coffey and Adam Feldbruegge, traveled to Kagavu in July 2018 and were inspired to give back to this community and help provide basic necessities of life, as well as proper education and medical support. They believe that the talents given by the Lord should be used to better the world. With each hand crafted/painted object they believe that slowly they can make a difference in that community and eventually, the world.

4. Government Impersonation Scam
5. Sweepstakes/charity/lottery scam

Age Groups affected and the number of cases and dollars lost by fraud

Protect Yourself

• Recognize scam attempts and end all communication with the perpetrator.
• Search online for the contact information (name, email, phone number, addresses) and the proposed offer. Other people have likely posted information online about individuals and businesses trying to run scams.
• Resist the pressure to act quickly. Scammers create a sense of urgency to produce fear and lure victims into immediate action. Call the police immediately if you feel there is a danger to yourself or a loved one.
• Be cautious of unsolicited phone calls, mailings, and door-to-door services offers.
• Never give or send any personally identifiable information, money, jewelry, gift cards, checks, or wire information to unverified people or businesses.
• Make sure all computer anti-virus and security software and malware protections are up to date. Use reputable anti-virus software and firewalls.
• Disconnect from the internet and shut down your device if you see a pop-up message or locked screen. Pop-ups are regularly used by perpetrators to spread malicious software. Enable pop-up blockers to avoid accidentally clicking on a pop-up.
• Be careful what you download. Never open an email attachment from someone you don't know, and be wary of email attachments forwarded to you.
• Take precautions to protect your identity if a criminal gains access to your device or account. Immediately contact your financial institutions to place protections on your accounts, and monitor your accounts and personal information for suspicious activity.

I am officially a Triathlete!

This episode is a Race Recap of the first time competing in a Triathlon, the Mach Tenn Triathlon. I entered the race underprepared, very little training, but I managed to survive and complete my first ever Triathlon. 

This episode covers the ins and outs of what it was like to compete in a Triathlon, as well as the preparations you may want to be aware of as you consider such an event. From the swim, to the bike, to the run this event was definitely one of my most difficult events to date, but to complete gave such an amazing sense of accomplishment.
